L arry Malohn needed some space. His previous workshop was in a cramped basement. And that was a step up from his first, a 200 sq.ft. room "with a cheap saw." So when the investment banker and his wife bought land in the mountains above Denver, Larry knew just what he wanted: A two-story workshop with a finishing room. A nice view wouldn't hurt either.

Located just 100 feet from his home, the 1700 sq.ft. workshop has everything Larry needs and is full of clever ideas. Instead of garage doors, Larry installed two 3' doors that allow 6' of clear access. Inside he used 1x6 shiplap pine siding, which allows him to nail, hang or screw nearly anything anywhere without perforated hardboard. 22' floor joists eliminate the need for posts to support the upper-level flooring.

Because there's so much space for dust to collect, Larry installed 3 air-filtration systems. And to avoid having to plug and unplug everything, he wisely added a dedicated 200-amp box with forty 120-volt outlets and twelve 220-volt fixtures. He also built a portable lathe tool holder that he can scoot around anywhere.
