A carpentry workshop for domestic work should be located as far as possible from living quarters. If there is no garage, summer cottage, private house, you can equip one of the rooms of a city apartment, a loggia, a pantry. A workbench for home carpentry is able to fit into a built-in wardrobe installed in the hallway. The article offers several ideas for arranging carpentry.
How to choose the right place
It is necessary to assess the possibilities of the available space. The smaller the dimensions of the room, the greater will be the limitation in the range of equipment. Only a workbench and a small grinder can fit in a room of 4 m 2. There must be room for movement.
Most suitable are garages, sheds with an area of at least 6–8 m 2. They can install several turning, drilling and other types of machines. To comply with fire safety rules, it is required to install a box of sand near the master's workplace.
Workspace organization
It is important to provide good sound insulation. Especially when finding a room in the yard.
Sound-absorbing material must cover the walls and the door from the inside. If a window is provided, it is better to bring it to the side opposite from the residential building. It is imperative that if the woodwork is unstable to fire, it is necessary to treat the inner lining with flame retardants.
The workshop will require a power multi-core cable (VVGng 3x6), which can withstand heavy loads. In a wooden carpentry shed, the wiring is laid in boxes or corrugated pipes. Sockets, equipment ground. The working area should be well lit, it is better to use fluorescent or LED lamps.
You also need to take care of ventilation.. In the process of woodworking, a lot of dust is generated, the hood can improve the situation. It is important to remember that it is necessary to ensure not only the exit of dust from the room, but also the flow of clean air inside.
With the technical equipment of the workshop, the priority of the arrangement of equipment is observed. Drilling, turning machines are installed next to the workbench, grinding units are placed slightly away from the main workplace. For convenience, all tools are stored in cabinets, wall cabinets.
Compact home workshop
So that the carpentry does not interfere with other people, you can place the workshop on the balcony. Glazing and supplying the premises with a heat source will allow carpentry activities to be carried out throughout the year.
Care must be taken to install sockets for electrical equipment. The home electrical network is not designed for the operation of powerful units, so difficulties may arise.
Carpentry work using powerful machines is accompanied by noise. Possible conflicts with neighbors. To avoid this, you will have to limit yourself to hand tools.
Ventilation on the balcony is carried out by opening the window. In the utility pantry, air flow is difficult to ensure. These rooms in city apartments are small, they are rarely equipped with workbenches and other larger devices. If you do not plan to regularly perform a large amount of work, you can build a cabinet with a folding top. The simple design will allow you to neatly store tools, provide a work surface in the carpentry.
