Here is an older pic of my shop:
The recent change is about 4' of the bench down the left side is gone and the white sink you can just see the corner of has been pushed down next to the remaining bench on that side.
Question is, I originally was planning to wrap the bench all the way around the corner and have it end a foot or so away from the door but not sure I need that much space. First, any horizontal surface in my shop tends to get cluttered and second it takes away from floor space. I have a bandsaw, belt/disc sander and CMS that need homes.
Right now I am thinking I could take the 4' of counter I pulled up and fill in all the way to the corner. The bandsaw could go there. The cabinet base I also removed could be a base for the sander or a base for the CMS. However, the CMS could go on a portable miter station that I can carry outside or wherever since I usually do that now. Just running to the corner and not wrapping around then leaves that wall where the door is more or less open to the floor so I have more working space. Disadvantage is I don't gain any more under-bench storage than what I have since the well pressure tank is back in that corner. What do you think?
