i currently use my brothers garage or my parents porch to build my projects and just curious of the dimensions of everyones shop on here and how well the size worked for them?

12 X 16. But, if laid out correctly its efficient. I have everything I need to complete most any project. The onl item I have outside my shop is my dust collector system.
Hugh,
I also have a 24 X 32 shop that I built two years ago. And like you I keep my ATV in there so I had to build another 14 X 18 shed to store wood and mowers etc. When you think you have enough room oops, something else comes up.

I built a 24X30 detached garage and it is primarily my wood shop. I've kept just about everything mobile as I occasionally have to park my truck there. There is more than enough room for now. That may change when I've acquired all the toys, er, tools I want. :)
I just built a 24x40 shop. Havent really been able to use it, too cold. But I think the size will work out well. I have a table saw, 22" drum sander, jointer, dust collector, router table and many cabinets, benches and lots of wood storage. good luck, hope this info helps
Size is only relevant to the operator. I remember a hundred years ago when I had a couple power tools and worked outside to make something. Than went to a 26 X 26 garage that I shared with cars, motorcycle whatever. Than to a 24 X 40 heated shop to a 48 X 72 heated shop. But when the shops get to big other things start moving in. Like trailers and stuff. Now looking at a 40 X 80 pole shed for cold storage to free up the heated shop more.
Good luck finding the size that is right for you. Some of us might never do that.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
