Hmm, I'm just about to do the same, maybe I can put it off 'till next week!! Great video, thank you, really like the dust extractor hose coming from above great idea. Keep 'em coming and stay lucky
It is an annual activity for me to arrange my shop for better workflow and function. My theory is that tools are gaseous in nature, they expand to conform and fill whatever shape container they are placed in. The only thing that really changes is the pressure on the walls. Steve
I'm in the beginning throes of redesigning my own layout. At the moment I walk in and am confronted by a big dust collector, i have to step around the cnc machine, then the mitre station sticks out so i have to squeeze past it, and so on. I'm so slow in the shop that optimising for efficiency doesn't make sense, so I'm redesigning with space, freedom of movement, and a general feeling of, "this is a nice space" instead. I hate to say it, but I describe my end state workshop to myself exactly as you were joking around! feng shui 😆
Couldn't agree more about what seem like lightbulb moments on how to arrange things, then the itch to get out in the workshop and execute those brilliantly awesome changes, then not long after wondering why on earth did I flippin' do that??? At least it gives us all the excuse to change the workshop around again, and again, and again 😂
I feel this so hard. On top of doing regular cross-country moves for my spouse's job, I find myself completely upending my workshop following the completion of nearly every major project. My wife jokes that I enjoy reorganizing the shop just as much as I enjoy building furniture. Add to that everything is always temporary due to frequent moves, I feel as though I've never fully moved into a shop ever. Thanks for documenting the experience.
I moved into my present workshop 2 1/2 years ago and still not right. I've put most things on wheels so I can play workshop magic roundabouts easily 🤣. Day it will nearly be right 😊
Quite a lovely collection I can assure you, I've added a new piece of kit when a job comes along that needs it / can pay for it so over the years.....👍👍
That’s a horrible moment when you want to get on and finish the new layout but other things take priority 😢 I feel your pain 😊

Be strong, commit, give in to your inner needs. 🤣
Wow what a big undertaking but it’s looking good so far can’t wait to see it finished best of luck to you.
Looks great!
I love it. I thought I was the only one with 10lbs of potatoes in a 5lb sack. People don’t appreciate true genius and problem solving. 👍
I know, it takes a lot of thought and dedication.

What a fantastic explanation, love it Steve. 👍
The desire to play workshop Tetris is among the most powerful. Too bad you can’t ever truly win.
Or is every change a win to a greater or lesser amount.

As long as it makes you feel good MArio, that's all you need. 👍

Without having to ask permission. 🤣

A wonderful pain though.
Absolutely. @@GTWoodshop
I get the long wall for the cutting station. I've just been fighting with cutting long boards. Ended up in the garden with a hand saw!
Great plans a foot Barry, great plans. 👍👍
I share your perils and pain of a micro workshop. Not sure I could throw a dart at a wall in my shop and not hit a tool of some sort.

I love the sign on your mite saw stand .... did you make or buy ?
That was a present form my Daughter 🤣, It defo needs running out on the CNC is a nice piece of OAk or Walnut I think. 👍
I’d love to see what you have in all those systainers
Quite a lovely collection I can assure you, I've added a new piece of kit when a job comes along that needs it / can pay for it so over the years.....👍👍
Just put everything on castors. 🤣Then you can have a set up for every type of job and just roll everything to that configuration before you start.
Hope u move that heater away from the flammable systainer storage..
Have you got rid of the table saw & planer / thicknesser?
No, just out of camera
