I have enjoyed reading Cuemaker's topic on garage layout and I hope to be faced with the same thing myself in the near future.
If I am lucky we will be building a new house and I will get a 9x4 metre workshop.
This is the first sketch, it shows the entire building which will be 9x10 metres
This is my first pass as positioning my toys..
(probably poorly to scale) OOps, forgot to mention that thing in the lower right corner is the air compressor.
My idea of placing machines down the middle of the room is that I can more easily blow all the dust and chips off the floor and as the smaller machines are on wheels it will never be a big chore to, for instance, get to the back of the lathe.
I should probably swap the position of the bandsay and the chop saw so that long stock for the bandsaw can pass between the lathe and the shaper.
