Basement Shop Decision

The more wood working I do the more I find myself interested in the hobby.  As winter approached, I had put all my tools up on the garage shelf and call it quits for the season, as far as the wood working was concerned.

Since then I have been thinking about setting up a shop in the basement.  There are several issues with setting up a shop in the basement:

Dust
Take up valuable play space from kids
Re-sale value of the house by RUINING the open basement

After giving some thought to each of the above issue, I've decided that I will build a shop in the basement.  There are pros and cons to working from the basement and garage and I feel the pros out weight the cons.  I met with my wood working group last night and they helped solidify the plan for the shop.

As I get started on this venture, I will be posting on here with pictures of the progress of the shop.

Here are some pictures of the basement where the shop will be:

Door to the shop will be next to the post
