I have a small basement shop, about 600 square feet with a big old pillar right in the middle and other basement storage items to deal with plus a furnace and water heater. In effect, it isn't as much space as you think. For a while it has worked well for me, but I am in a rut. This year I got a planer and a jointer. The planer is a lunch box on a cart, the jointer is a 6" also on wheels. Up until now I rolled them out when needed, but I need them all the time! I want them up and ready to go full time, but space is cramped and they are competing space wise with a miter saw + stand that is also used all the time.
So many of you have interesting ideas, clever solutions and experience. More than likely I could pick up some clever thing from one or many of you and figure this out. So, I guess the question here is how are some of you dealing with space limitations and more specifically how do you have set up your TS, miter saw, planer, jointer all with DC?
