Desde hace años yo necesitaba un lugar en mi casa para trabajar. Lo hacía en la galería cerrada o en el patio, pero eso era realmente un problema para todos, principalmente para mí. El lugar es chico, y yo con mi trabajo lo mantenía siempre desordenado y sucio, por más que recogiera las herramientas y materiales al terminar un proyecto. Además, el no tener mis cosas en el lugar de trabajo me ocasionaba innumerables demoras, búsquedas infructuosas, malhumor, etc.
Finalmente, luego de muchas discusiones, deliberaciones y consultas, me decidí a hacer demoler un pequeño cobertizo de unos 2x3 m que había en el patio trasero, y en su lugar construir un taller de aproximadamente 3x4 m con altillo. No es mucho, pero comparado con lo que tenía es muchísimo.
Para disminuir los costos, les pedí a los albañiles que me entregaran la obra en bruto, con un revoque "bolseado" y el altillo sin escalera, con apenas un área de acceso en un extremo.
Mientras los albañiles trabajaban, yo me dediqué a hacer dos estanterías, una de 2x2 m y otra de 2x1.3 m, que sirven simultáneamente como mesas de trabajo. Los estantes son de madera semidura, eucaliptus saligna de 1 pulgada, montados sobre ménsulas y guías de hierro, soldadas y atornilladas a la pared.
Una vez que tuve el taller en mi poder, me tuve que abocar urgentemente a construir la escalera, y decidí hacerla levadiza para que no ocupe lugar cuando está en desuso. Como siempre, le di prioridad a la funcionalidad sobre la estética, y además en este caso puse especial atención a la seguridad, extremando las precauciones para prevenir futuros accidentes.
Dado que el proyecto resultó exitoso, a continuación doy los detalles, por si a alguno de ustedes le interesa hacer algo parecido. No es difícil, aunque insume una semana o algo así.
For years I needed a place in my home to work. I did it in the sun porch or in the patio, but that was really a problem for all, especially for me. The place is small, and with my job I kept it always messy and dirty, even picking up the tools and materials after complete a project. In addition, not having my stuff in the workplace caused me countless delays, unsuccessful searches, moodiness, etc.
Finally, after many discussions, deliberations and consultations, I decided to do demolish a small shed of about 2x3 m was in the backyard, and in its site build a workshop of about 3x4 m with attic. Not much, but compared to what I had, is a lot.
To reduce costs, I asked the builders to give me the rough work, the walls with a coarse cover, and the attic without a ladder, with only an access area at one end.
While the builders work, I set about making two shelves, one of 2x2 m and another 2x1.3 m, serving simultaneously as work tables. The shelves are semi-hard wood, eucalyptus saligna 1 inch, mounted on iron brackets and guides welded and bolted to the wall.
Once I had the shop in my possession, I lead me urgently to build the ladder, and I decided to make it lifting to take up no place when in use. As always, I gave priority to functionality over aesthetics, and in this case also put emphasis on safety precautions to prevent future accidents.
Since the project was successful, then I give the details, if any of you are interested in doing something similar. It is not difficult, although takes a week or so.

I have not had any problems understanding your posts.
As they say a picture can tell a thousand words, and you always add enough pictures to make things easily understood.
I take my hat off to you sir.
Keep up the great work.

I have some doubts
about some translations,
but I wait some anglophone
tell me if some is wrong.
Very clever. Your welded fixtures always look better than mine. Your English shows a few small evidences that it is not your native language. Once in a while your translator program gives you a word that can translate the original word, but may not be the one a native speaker would use. But, we understand just fine. We are only grateful that we do not need to publish our Instructables in Spanish!
