Shop Tour: Chris Gochnour’s Shop
Thursday, December 4th, 2008
This month’s shop tour on the Fine Woodworking site features FWW contributor Chris Gochnour’s shop. This is definitely a case of gear you can’t afford laid out in space you don’t have with cash you can’t get your hands on –- but it is a nice shop.
Chris worked in his two-car garage with 7-1/2’ ceilings for ten years until he decided to “upgrade” his place to a 20′x30′ dream shop. I don’t begrudge him his new place, since he did build it himself and shops are cool anyway. But now that he’s got more floor space than I ever will, and it’s stuffed to the gills with cool gear, I won’t cry too many tears of sorrow over his previous arrangement either.
It’s a nice video that basically classifies as tool pr0n.

Even if you haven’t heard of Unique Performance, we’ll bet you have seen some of the incredibly sexy vehicles they produce, including the Foose ‘69 Camaro, and most significantly the G.T.500E of “Gone In 60 Seconds” movie fame. And, while some custom shops produce incredible one-offs, Unique is in the, well, unique position of manufacturing as many as eight of these highly-customized vehicles a month.
