I couldn't figure out how to work with a small shop, so I closed on a new house yesterday with an empty lot next door. Pics are of the planned shop/garage/carport addition on the empty lot.
Purple is wood storage (standup plywood, pls some vertical wood storage near garage door and overhead shelves,...,
blue 'square pipes' along floor are dust collection,
green 'rug looking thing' under the table saw (actually will lily be a combo machine) is the work area for 8*4 sheets goods, 8' before and after the blade, 8 feet left, 5 feet right.
Where the red cart is parked (marked 'boat garage') could be a larger assembly room / finishing room, when needed. That's the wife's SUV. I have no plans for the boat, but there is a lake a few blocks away, so the red car - golf cart - machine room could be used for storing a good sized boat. The carport has room for a large truck. Garage doors are planned for 9' wide * 8' tall. All door 36".
There's lots of space along the back wall (by the bandsaw) for roll-around tables with various tools on them,... I'm also toying with a separate J/P instead of a 4-5-way multifunction combo, but space-wise I think it may be most comfortable as laid out,...
I'd appreciate any feedback.
