Hi All,
I'm getting back into the hobby now that my kids are out of the house and I can use 2/3rds of my garage. Below are pictures of the garage with my wife's car where it spends the night.
My plans are to mostly build hardwood furniture and some built-in cabinet-type work. Right now I have the Rikon 18" bandsaw, a Milwaukee SCMS, a Ridgid contractor saw, and a Hammer J/P on it's way for Mid-May delivery. No DC yet. Basically I have a pretty clean slate and would like ideas on the best way to put my workshop together. I'm in no hurry and want to do this right. My next purchase will most likely be a cabinet saw as well as putting together a router table.
As you can see, I'm worried about not having any "wall space" and am wondering if I should move the workbench from the wall into the middle of the garage so I have room to place the tools against the wall.
My primary experience other than small home projects over the years are that I took Woods 1,2,3, and 4 in High School, and built a table, roll-top desk, and grandfather clock using walnut. However, that was about 25 years ago.
Anyway, I'm at a loss where to begin, any and all comments / ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
