I've been meaning to do lots of stuff in my shop, and here lately, it's become a necessity to organize it, or I just won't be able to use it.
I've meant to finish the wiring on the north wall, put in a chopsaw/radial arm saw table along one wall, put up another lumber rack and cubbies.. etc etc.
Now I've collected a bunch of spiral pipe, a blower, a dust collector, and bunch of copper pipe and fittings and extra air tank, and a brand new lathe, in addition to the Table saw, jointer, mini lathe, belt sander, scroll saw, band saw, grinder, air compressor, and drill press. Not to mention the wall and base cabinets, bench and two lathes in storage for a friend. (I'm going to have a sale on unused stuff before long!)
And piles of junk. and lots and lots of wood.
It's a 16 x 24 building with hardwood floors. The joists are laid on piers. No windows (although I have two I could adapt), and double doors on one end. I bodged together my old HVAC blower into the gable so I have some pretty good ventilation. No isulation or paneling...
I also have access to a pretty good design program (Cabinet Vision Manufacturing) with which I can locate and size just about anything for the layout...
I'm puzzled where to put the airlines and the dust collection...
Any advice?
