My shop is in a 10' X 12' storage shed. Almost enough room to cuss a cat if you keep it to 4 letter words and the cat is a kitten.
Anyway I had said I'd post pictures when I finished making all my tools mobile. I actually finished a couple of weeks ago but it took me this long to clean it to the point it wouldn't send Rod into shock
This is a picture of my bandsaw. It's on a cabinet and uses a Homier mobile base to move around. You can also see my craftsman bench top jointer next to it. It's cabinet has two fixed and two swivel casters.
I'd say invest in all swivel casters, I did on all my other tools and it's worth it. I have to shuffle a little to use the bandsaw and shuffle a lot to get the jointer out to use it.
On the wall next to the jointer is my drill press, it's the 12" from Big Lots and has served me well. It's cabinet has 4 swivel casters from Hartville tools( I recommend their casters for quality/value).
In the corner on the same wall as the drill press is my tool rack, it holds a combo disk/belt sander, scroll saw, bench grinder, and under the rack is my shop vac which is connected to the small cyclone lid which sits on a 5 gal bucket with a 10' hose to connect to which ever tool I'm using at the time.
The tools from the rack sit on the tool cart that's holding the router table when in use.
Sitting next to the tool rack along the other wall is a cart that holds my CMS and Planner. It has to move to the doorway to use the planner or if I want to cut lumber of any length.
And of course you can't have a shop without a BT3
Notice I'm storing short craft lumber between the studs.
I have two small benches 1 is 2'X 5' and the other is 2' X 4'. Neither is what I'd call a woodworkers bench both were built when I was remodeling our house and before I took up woodworking.
There is very little room for storage except in the tool cabinets but I did manage some overhead shelves under the ridge on both sides.
Thanks for looking and I'd be glad to hear any comments on how to improve the arrangement for better work flow.
