CNC Machine Room in a Box

Welcome to my workshop. If you're a regular viewer on the channel, you will no doubt recognize this place. But for those of you that have not seen it before, I'll give you a little quick tour around my production professional joinery workshop. This space is about 9 m by 9 m square. It just gives me a little under 90 square meters to work in. set this up as a very capable and universal space in order to complete pretty much any task that comes through the door that will be related to joinery. I've done some pretty cool projects. I've done a lot of curved work in the past. I've done some big batches of sash windows. I've done really ornate front doors, stairs, you name it, I've probably at some point in the last 18 years tackled it and overcome it within this space using traditional manual machines. But I've reached the stage where the inquisitive side of my mind is really just wanting to push into the next generation. And I've decided to take on a small CNC machine to aid me in the process of professionally making joinery and kitchens. There'll be loads of content on that to come up and following on the channel. But today's video is more relevant probably to everyone watching this than producing stuff on a CNC. It's how am I going to fit a CNC machine in such a space that's really optimized and maxed out in terms of the machinery I've got in here and how I use it. Everything in here earns its keep and is vital to how I work. So, I can't remove any of these machines. My work area is pretty much at a minimum in terms of the usable space I need for the job I do. So, I've got a real dilemma where I'm going to put this. And that problem got me thinking to the storage container that I've got outside the workshop. I climatize all my timber in here and store finished jobs so that they uh can acclimatize to a dry environment. When they go inside a customer's house, they don't then move and warp and twist and crack all the joints. And I know a few of my mentor students and people on the channel have messaged and said they've done the same thing after seeing it. And it's been one of the best things they've done for their business. And I'll definitely agree with that statement. So,
