I love oxymorons. My favorites are jumbo shrimp, exact estimate, and garage shop. These ideas simply cannot coexist. Or can they? Actually, with a bit of planning, the right tools, and few projects designed to maximize the available area, it is possible to have both a garage and a shop in the same space. (The jumbo shrimp thing is still just ridiculous.)

Tools on mobile bases, a workbench built on shallow cabinets, and an expandable worksurface are just a few of the ways we turned this two-car garage into an enormously capable shop without sacrificing parking.

In fact, a quick look at the photos on these pages will show you that this shop is full of amenities that would be welcome in any shop, regardless of whether it doubles as a garage. In this issue, you’ll learn how to build the compact workstation and the microadjustable routing guide. And be sure to watch future issues of Workbench for the construction details on the other innovative projects in this two-car garage home woodshop.
