A functional, comfortable workshop with plenty of space and the necessary tools and equipment is one of the secrets of being a successful DIYer. In this special, DIY visits mechanics, hobbyists, crafters, gardeners and woodworkers across the country. Each guest will offer a tour of his or her special space, a look at their tools and a peek and unique innovations that make the space fun and functional!
In DIY's My Ultimate Workshop special, some supremely dedicated do-it-yourselfers show how a workspace itself can become a work of art. Among the custom-built and specialized workshops featured in this hour-long special are a hobbyist's model-train room around which his house was built and a gourmet cooking school (and residence) built in a historic old bank building. Also included: a "woodshop on wheels" that allows a highly organized woodworking enthusiast to utilize his 2-car garage as both a work space and a place to park his wife's car, an American who traveled thousands of miles to set up shop building gondolas in Venice, and much more.
