Does anyone see any glaring flaws with this layout? The garage is 27 x27 with a 8.5 by 2.5 encroachment from the basement. I think the working configuration will work even though the workflow isn’t optimum. I have a dust collection drop right behind the band saw for it, the tablesaw, the planer, and the router table. A plastic box under the jointer gets 80% and I can sweep the rest. The black dots are posts, one of which has the dust collection drop attached to it. I need to build a planer stand, the assembly tables and a new router cabinet to make this work and I don’t want to go through that effort if I’m going to have issues. Someday I hope to replace my crappy miter saw with a radial arm saw.
In the parking configuration I think I’m OK. We can open the doors on all the vehicles. There is very little room behind the truck if the tailgate is open, and only about 2 and a half feet between the miter saw and the bandsaw but otherwise it is manageable. The bandsaw is mobile, but I don’t have anywhere else to park it.
Four years ago we moved from a house where my shop had little workspace, but room to store tools. That is now reversed. I’ve come to the realization that the 40x30 Garage Majal I have planned is still years away. In my old shop I built an ultimate tool stand 7’ x 2’, which was planer stand, router table, miter stand, and assembly table. It is no longer necessary since I can have all my toys out at once but I need to get the cars in the garage in the fall and winter or the squirrels will nest in them.
