I've had that problem when taking photos with my iPhone and emailing them to myself for processing (cropping, downsizing) on my computer. Very often, Portrait taken photos turn out rotated to display as Landscape. Very annoying. Still working on taking photos with the phone rotated one way or another to reduce this problem. Mostly, I've taken to reviewing the photos on my phone and rotating them - on the phone - before sending them. If they get sent rotated, it can be difficult to change that once they are on my computer.
There is a setting in the "Properties" that tells the world what orientation the image is. "Orientation" is the property name, "Lower Right" and "Upper Right" are the settings. I've tried changing these in an attempt to change the display orientation, but it had not always worked when sent to some forum, like this one. This is why I've taken to fixing the orientation on the phone (camera) before transferring to my computer.
Sometimes, it does work to change the orientation in my computer editor, but it is trial and error as to which forums the problem occurs. The photos do always display correctly on my computer, but may not when posted.
You could try going into edit mode in a photo editor and changing the orientation.
Here is an example/test. I downloaded one of your photos, rotated, cropped and downsized it to 480 wide x 640 tall pixels. I've found this really improves conveyance of the key information within images and display that doesn't exceed the forum display size.
I did not go into the "Properties" to do any of this, just functions within my photo editor.
Dan it is one of the pre-made buildings you can buy and have delivered. It is 12 by 24 and was there when we bought the house. I had to insulate, plywood the inside and add a heater so I can use it in the winter.
Nice shop. I also have a 12x24 shed, they dragged onto the property. I've outgrown it so my wood prep is now done in my garage. Having everything on carts with casters makes a smallish shop work. That size is about the size of a single car garage. I like your shop and I'd bet a lot of folks would love to have one that big. Insulated and wired makes it a shed for all 4 seasons.
I'd have a lot more room if I'd make a porch and roll the sliding miter outside to use it. It creates the only tight spot in the shop, and it would give me a much cleaner shop.
I believe Stick was merely joking...he does that.
Nice shop! I especially like the magnifying light on the scroll saw table. I might have to steal that idea.
Nice looking shop with good selection of machinery. I too am space restricted; my garage is 13x20 and is full of automotive tool boxes, sandblasting cabinet, stand up compressor etc......before starting the woodworking hobby anew. My car restoration project has lived inside a "temporary" car 10x20 shelter in front of the garage.....for the last 12 years........
I keep a sliding mitre saw on a rolling contractors stand (modded with bigger wheels) and move it outside/or at least under the garage door overhang in the summer; it gets stored in the basement over the winter. One small portable table saw, a table top Rikon 10" bandsaw and a 14" (with 6" "lift") full size bandsaw along with a combo disc sander and table top router table stay in the garage and get in the way every day. The full size dust collector is installed in the shed next to the garage, saving some space.
It's never big enough, especially if you have multiple hobbies. Being well organized, learning to work around limited space, cleaning up every day and ensuring no more than 2 projects at once are underway.
That is a joiner. It is used for v-nailing the corners of picture frames together. The company I used to work for had a small frame shop. When they closed the doors I was able to pick this one up very cheap.
Back to the picture orientation for a second. There is a free photo editing program called Irfanview that I use to crop and orient pictures now. Every once in a while, I forget, and have to go back and crop it. You can also save in half size or smaller, which also helps. Once cropped and saved the pictures post properly. Search "download Irfanview" and you'll find it. It is open source and also plays videos, but doesn't support playlists.
How do you guys do this? My shop is in a two-car garage (which hasn't seen a car in over 30 years), and it's too small. I can't imagine being able to fit everything into a 12 x 24 space. Of course, in addition to wood working tools, mine also houses all the plumbing, drywall, electrical, and other assorted tools as well as ladders and such needed to maintain a house. I need to build a BIG shop and turn the garage over to my wife's quilting stuff. Quick tip: If your wife takes up quilting, abandon all hope. Quilting materials rapidly expand beyond all available spaces, both horizontal and vertical. The one good thing about quilting is they have as many tools as woodworkers, and as your wife starts buying them, you'll never feel guilty about buying a woodworking tool again. Especially when a sewing machine costs more than a CNC.
Add to that Knitting machines with all the yarn storage, plus the fabric storage and if you have room to breathe, one person has to leave first.
I am the same as you Oliver 2 car garage and still could use another.

Sparks thoughts of walking into the belly of an air craft. It's gonna take a bunch of whiles before you can take that feeling [of excitement] for granted.
When my Dad retired he built a 40X40 shop and put in a septic system, roughed plumbing in under the slab Had the building built, finished and bought off then jack hammered out the plumbing locations and put a toilet room in.
