Well, like most folks I enjoy seeing how others set up their shops so were is mine. The shop is located in a converted 24 X 24 two car garage. Only took ten years to talk the wife into parking outside!!!
The electrical service has been upgraded to include dedicated 220 circuits and plenty of 110 outlets. Walls are all insulated and dry walled. Lighting is eight, hard mounted two tube 4 foot 32 watt T8 fixtures, the fixtures were located based on equipment placement and not wanting any dark spots.

The lathe is a 12 inch rockwell international model PM-1532, 1961 version. All cast iron, does not move when turning larger/longer pieces.

The motor was originally mounted on the lower shelf without the pully shaft set up.

The router station is a Norm knockoff with a 3 hp dedicated plunge router

Yeah, exposed Romex is a no-no from building inspectors' point of view. Any wiring not protected by being in a wall should be in conduit. Good to see you ran things right :).
