Well, I sold my project car last weekend to make room for my new hobby - woodworking. So, I now have half of a two-car garage to build a shop. The wife will use the other half of the garage for parking.
Anybody out there got a plan, pics, or ideas for a shop in half of a typical two-car garage? I didn't get the dimensions before writing this post. The garage has a door that when raised takes up about half of the ceiling. The ceiling is 9'.
Right now I've got the BT3100, a bench top DP, CMS, and Scroll saw with stand. I'm in the process of building a workbench that is approximately 30"x60"' in area. I also have a metal workbench with drawers that is about 24"x50". I'll probably mount the DP on the smaller workbench. I plan to build a small stand for the CMS that will allow wood being cut on the CMS to be level with the larger workbench. I plan on adding a DC system soon (the wife's car is currently covered in saw dust) and possibly a jointer and/or a thickness planer later on. If I have space available, I may build a dedicated router table and take the router off of my BT3100. I'd like to leave the table saw stationary, but everything else can be mobile.
I'll probably build mobile cabinets to the height of my BT3100 so that I can use those for table extensions, etc.
Any input or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cain
