How to choose a room for woodwork

The ideal location for the device carpentry workshop will be a separate shed, garage or purpose-built premises. It is possible to consider a variant in which joinery construction unit located in the container (for the studio is quite suitable product, used as new block-containers are quite expensive). Square block container - just over 14 meters. Therefore, it is quite usable space will fit not only work bench and shelf with instruments, but even a few small carpentry machines. There will be enough space to store wood and to organize a small portion of the paint.

The variant with the container block can be considered sufficiently serious approach to the arrangement of the workshop and serious intent associated with the amount of work performed here. If your Carpentry work will have a modest scale, the alternative in the form of an empty garage or shed is fully capable to meet your needs.

To home workshop it meets the minimum requirements of comfort and safety, its area must be at least 6... 10 m² (it all depends on the amount of equipment you want to stay workshop). This should be considered in that case, if you are going to build a special room for a workshop. If a workshop is planned to adapt an existing building suitable size, then use it. Small carpentry workshop can be quite convenient. Six squares can be placed not only the main instrument of the joiner - carpenter's workbench, but also a couple the most popular machines: grinding machine tool, as well as drilling - for wood etc. A 40-50 m² – it is almost shop.

10 squares enough... Arrange and work acceptable - from 25 squares to move comfortably and impressively with a cigar from machine to machine - from 40-50 m².

And here's a picture of the internal space of his studio, having a size of 11 m².

Basic requirements to the master carpenter

It is not enough to understand how to build a carpentry shop or how to choose a suitable property. When equipping the carpentry workshop should be aware of five important factors, the presence of which ensures comfort and safety while working inside the premises of the future:

fire safety;
Effective sound insulation;
quality lighting;
An efficient ventilation;
efficient and safe heating.

We'll talk about all this in greater detail.

Fire safety

To ensure fire safety workshop premises must be grounded. All tools and equipment should be connected to the general earthing circuit. Powder extinguisher, which is a compulsory element of the carpenter's shop, must be installed in an easily accessible place. The fire extinguisher must comply with class ABC (for suppression of any flammable materials and electrical equipment) and have a capacity of 4.5 kg (10 pounds). Container with sand, equipped with fire extinguishing agents and installed near the entrance to the workshop will give you an additional security guarantee.

Soundproofing

If Carpentry is located near residential areas, soundproofing it is of great importance. To ensure it is possible to use standard, consisting in the use of special finishing materials, windows double-glazed windows and doors.

Lighting

Good lighting - it is half the success of your carpenter's workshop! It is not only comfortable for your eyes, but also a necessary condition for safety. Indeed, in conditions of poor visibility injury when working with electrical and other woodworking tools it happens much more frequently. And in order to avoid them, except for general lighting in the workshop, it is necessary to use additional lighting workplace (machine, bench and so on. D.).

When working away from natural light is best to use a combination of different lighting spectrum. Neon fluorescent lights - for general lighting and incandescent lamps - for additional illumination of the workplace. According to doctors, the use of the same type of lighting is not always reflected well on the state of the organs of vision.

Electric cable, which you spend in the studio for the connection of electrical equipment and lighting products, must have a suitable cross-section, designed for heavy loads. Wiring must be laid in a metal pipe or conduit, to help prevent fire in case of short circuit.

Ventilation

Even the simplest mechanical ventilation, installed in the carpentry workshop, make your work more convenient and safer. Thanks to the ventilation you will not have to breathe in wood dust that can cause respiratory irritation, and even of their disease.

If the workshop is planned to establish woodworking machines, the installation of an appropriate Chip - is a question that requires a binding decision. Otherwise, the room is always a mess reign, and all efforts to ensure that ensure fire safety, do not have much influence the desired effect. After all, wood dust scattered in the air in large quantity, capable of smallest spark ignited like gunpowder.

Heating

If in the future the workshop you plan to work all year round, the heating of the room - this is an issue that should be approached very seriously. Warm air in the premises of the workshop will be a positive impact on your well-being, health and the state of the tool. Only in such conditions timber able to retain its best qualities.

Connect similar premises to district heating does not make sense (with rare exceptions). Therefore, the installation of an oil heater will be considered as quite a worthy way out. Alternatively, you can use fan heaters or infrared heaters are more modern. These devices will warm quickly and a small room with good insulation will create a space inside the workshop friendly microclimate.

Disposition of the carpentry workshop

If before the creation of space for carpenter's workshop, you take into account the minimum requirements relating to the internal area of the object, then you definitely have enough space for the organization of its main areas:

place under the machines;
place under the workbench and assembly table;
Racks (shelf) for the tool;
the space (angle) where the equipment is stored for cleaning workshop;
waste container and debris (wooden box, etc...);
attachments for storing nozhovok, roulette and other tools;
Hanger (cabinet) for clothing;
hinged lockers for small tools, fasteners and other components;
storage space for wood and finished products.

Assembly table as a workbench, is a mandatory element in leveling carpentry shop. That's what it thinks one of the members of our forum.

Assembly tables - is necessary. The easiest - Particleboard dissolve one sheet half (according to the layout - along or across) and two folded thickness (fasten screws).

Bulky items and equipment should be mounted on a wall or installed next to them. This will free up part of the inner space for freer movement. In order to calculate the minimum area of free space near the machine bench or necessary area occupied by the device, multiplied by 2. Instruments and equipment used in conjunction, should be close to each other.

In order to save space in the workshops of some of their owners have resorted to a little trick: they build comfortable folding benches. The working surface of such a device is attached to the wall and his legs unscrewed stored in any convenient for this place. On the bottom surface of the workbench can be easily manufactured mounting storage of diverse tools.

Here are some planning workshop offers the user Sitnikoff.

Figured in Visio lineup with live until no exact size of machinery and equipment for option 5,6h6,2 m. Climbs everything and more.

Putting the picture pattern has impressive size, and not everyone can afford such dimensions allow. The total balance of the concept of the equipment and accessories shown in the picture will be clear to all concerned.

And here is more information about the proposed project. In it everyone can find for themselves something useful. You will learn what to do from the floor in the carpentry workshop, from which to build the wall, what will be the foundation and so on. N.

While I will write about the structure of the design for the carpenter's shop:

The structure - a framework of boards 150h50 mm. VSHD 2,8h5,6h6,2 height loft -. 1.2 m.
Building on strip foundations shallow penetration.
Insulation - basalt or mineral wool 150 mm thick.
The interior and exterior sheathing plate OSB.
Outside of the plate cladding - wall paneling.
Floors - concrete, then Epps (50mm), warm water in a concrete floor screed.
Floors - ceramic tiles.
Heating of the oven (do not know - to buy a metal or put a little Dutchwoman), can be connected to a line of floor heating, coming out of the house to the bath.
attic roof will be insulated as well as the walls, as the ceiling will not be (suddenly something will have to be hung or placed within reach), t. e. I plan to the dome in the workshop.
Roof - metal (especially because some stock after the house and the bath was left).
Door - metal insulated double-wing width of 120 cm (80 + 40).
Windows - plastic windows size 150h60 cm from the ceiling - 6 pcs.
The window opposite the door 100x150 cm - 1 pc.
I do not rule out the presence of skylights in the ceiling (like light) - 4 pcs.
Electrical - 220 in plastic boxes.
dust extraction and ventilation system (probably the room would have to stretch a few boxes to connect the instrument to a dust extraction system).

The basic rules for the organization of space in the workshop

For each machine, bench and other equipment must be easily accessible, organized on three sides.
Workshop space should prevail in a proportion of space occupied by machines, cabinets and other items.
The floor in the workshop must be flat and dry, and on its surface in any case it is impossible to lay slippery materials.
Garbage container should have 2 branches (the first - the storage of wood waste, and the second - to store other debris).
A small supply of drinking water as well as a fully staffed first aid kit should be kept in a prominent place.

Remember, when working in the workshop should not neglect personal protective equipment - protective clothing, goggles, respirators, and so on.
