Last week moved into the new house. Have about half the garage, aka shop, that I use to have. What tips and/or considerations can the forum members give me that have worked for them. Tips of what not to do would be useful as well.

Thank you.

Well, I think you will be wise not to commit to anything, move some stuff around and if your tools aren't mobile I think you will quickly see how you will need to be on some of them. Arrange the tablesaw so it doesn't need to be moved much and can stay set up in one spot if you can and design the rest around it.

I use half my garage since Wifey won't move her car outside. Here's a couple pics.

My TS in on wheels so I can move it out from the wall, or right outside. The router cabinet is also wheeled but I don't need to move it much. I make do with what I have.

Hey Bob,

Where's your shop? Garage or separate bldg... Never have seen it... Got any pictures... yours must be a good example of how to set one up... you have so much in it...

It would be nice to see... I could use some pointers too... for my 1/2 garage attempt at it.

TIA...

Nice layout there, Mike...

Mine is alot more crowded...

Nice set up Mike! I could be good and comfortable in that space. If I could just have the the rest of the garage that would be great but it ain't happening. I lobbied for space in the basement to put my wood storage cabinet and tool cabinets and a good workbench just this morning on the way to work. Let's just say it didn't go so well

Back to the drawing board!
