If you are looking to set up a shop on a budget and are doing so for the first time, you need to first consider these 2 important questions:
• What space do you have available for your shop
• What you are hoping to make in your shop
For example, a crafts person looking to make some gifts like boxes is different from a crafts person looking to set up a business selling gifts in quantity to make a living.
A DIYer person with a home shop looking to make cabinets, tables, and furniture for their home is different from someone crafting the same things for customers.
Some people are looking to be a woodworker primarily in the old school of hand tools while others are primarily a power tool person with little interest in hand tools.
Do your interest lie in fine woodworking like wood carving, lathe turning, scroll sawing…or carpentry or furniture building or just furniture restoration?
These answers will make a difference in the type of shop you should setup.
The other significant consideration is what space is available.
It is always kinder on the budget to use the space you have.
This is sometimes the first consideration.
Ask yourself what kind of woodworking can be done in the available space?
Is it a basement, a garage, a “bedroom” in an apartment? Is the garage or basement space small, medium or large? Is it quite narrow but long, or a medium or large open room?
