I'm an aspiring woodworker and I want my own space for working my projects.>But I live in a tiny, shitty one bedroom apartment>I hate it with a passion>I'm also pretty sure it's making me depressed and resentfulWhat would be a good and cost-effective way to have my very own work space?I plan to move out and rent a house for my family and I.And if I can't ever get my own workshop space, should I just stop coping and get back to the minimal wage job I hate and despise?
>>3003943Become employable and fix your life, then use hobby as reward and to renovate/repair useful things. You have a family and make minimum wage. That requires self-improvement.
>>3003950As I said, I'm an aspiring woodworker.I am also on a trade school program for carpentry so in a way I am already self-improving.
>>3003961I'm an aspiring porn star. I self-improve every day, yet I'm still not going to quit my day job...
Convert the bedroom to a workshop. Sleep in the living room on a futon or daybed.
>>3003983Look anon my program is full-time ok? Can you stop getting side-tracked please?The only reason I am in a trade school program is because no employer would hire me without>LE EXPERIENCEI am in a crappy situation I want no part in basically
>>3003985Huh that might work actuallyI do not plan on using power tools of any kind but rather traditional fine wood working toolsWould a potential landlord be ok with this? Assuming I don't trash said bedroom, of course
>>3004015As long as you aren't wrecking the walls or floor you can do what you want. Just put down those big rubber shop mats down that they sell at home depot. I would imagine you could have a nice set up.
>>3004040I heard those also help your posture and prevent cast iron tools from falling and breaking right?Would it be possible to also make said room sound proof? In case I need to use power tools for any reason whatsoever.
>>3004044Idk I only do leather work, so no power tools. Some anon prolly knows.
Would it be too outlandish to rent somebody's garage for a workshop space?>Would that sound weird to a neighbor?Because I did check industrial lease prices and it's about the same price as rent in some instances>I ain't paying that
>>3004015Hand tools can be pretty loud still. Chopping mortises is loud work, as is banging the parts together/apart fire assembly. Certain power tools, like drills are far quieter than that. >>3004044You're only going to break cast iron tools like that if there dropping onto concrete.
>>3004065Mortise chisels are indeed loud as heckI remember when I was cutting mortises back in my trade school, even inside a loud wood shop it was loud and everyone looked at me for a split secondMaybe I should pad the walls with some acoustic foam
>>3003943Maybe find an option for a shared/co working space or rent time in a proper workshop. Use your home to make excellent prepatation (plans, marking) and/or do stuff outdoors.
