Close to what I pictured in my head brent.
Being the saw is very close to the wall studs, I was going to use a sheet of 1/8th masonite, put some edges on it, and use a large plastic scoop underneath the table.
The shop is only being redone because of this must keep the overhead door closed for now on. Its disturbing to me, but after many sleepness nights and many long talks with the wife, I dont want to make waves and I dont know what would happen if I moved the shop to either a new home or a new rented space. So to save a ton of dough, Im rearranging again.
Until you stand in my shop, its hard to understand my motivation and reasons for everything.
My main reason for moving everything on the left side is to make the entrance door, not the overhead door, easily more accessable to use for now on so I dont have to open and close the overhead constantly.
I had the work bench just far away enough that I could barely squeeze my belly into the shop or out in the event of power failure or overhead door breaking down and not moving. Now, I will be able to open and go through the door easily and quickly, and thats how things will be for now.
Gonna cost me one sheet of plywood, and 2 sets of cheapo drawer slides.
My plan of attack is as follows(I know it makes little sense unless you see it)
1. Remove the overhead loft storage and open up ceiling to peak of 12 feet(done)
2.Hang more lighting fixtures(done, but I havent figured out wiring for it yet)
3.Move the entire left wall of machines and workbenchs 6 inches to the right(working on it)
4.Take castors off rolling cabinet which is under one work bench. Make it a permanent cabinet next to mitre right side, and add 2 more drawers on top and level off to mitre height(working on it)
Now that I have to use the saws to build more drawers, I have everything disoconnected and piled in one corner, every dust line is down, so Im going to have to work around this mess
5.Not sure if shop vac or dust collector line will work with mitre. If shop vac, Ill need very, very little line for dust collector, wont buy pvc or sheet metal lines, since the TS is next to dust collector and then I only need one line for bandsaw, planer, jointer, or drum sander.
6.Reinstall some dust lines
7.Get a new shed hopefully by summers end, move some lumber and the drum sander into it for storage. Drum sander is not used more than once or twice every couple of months, dont need that huge cabinet and machine sitting taking up space. I will use the castors from the rolling cabinet, and build a small assembly table so I have 2 assembly tables, and one work bench.
8.After its all setup somewhat, Im going to try to lay some Gladiator flooring. I have 100 sq feet of it now, want to see how the machines roll on it.
9.Now, is it as clear as mud?
Its very warm and humid right now, and monday I start treatment, so around the 10th or 11th I will go full steam to get it all done quickly.
but I think I might have to go out and buy a 4 inch hole saw set, might come in handy.
Besides dust collection lines, I never thought Id be moving anything in that shop again.
