Hi guys yes it is me back from the wilderness. The last few years have been really hectic with work and life and my woodworking was minimal to say the least. I hope that will all be changing soon and I am in the process of converting the external building we had used as a game room into a dedicated shop - YES!!!
I have had a few issues to deal with (more on that later) but for now I am looking for ideas, inspiration and learning from others who have been through this before. I will be sending some photos and basic plans but essentially I have a space approx 17'x13' to play with. There are only a couple of windows which dont really get in the way and the door (36") is central to one of the 13' ends.
All I really know right now is that my BT will be setup across the room biased toward the door end to allow for greater than half the length of the room if I had to rip long stock with the door open. It seems logical that my DC fills one of the spaces either side of the door.
I am pretty sure I will build something to support a CMS (hoping to snag one of the newer bosch sliders) somewhere on a sidewall and am still toying with some combo of outfeed come assembly table possibly with downdraft capability built in.
Other than this I have a clean slate so am open to any and all great ideas especially if I can avoid mistakes I will regret later.
Thanks in anticipation and looking forward to catching up with some old friends.
