I am looking for suggestions on work shop layout, for and tools and machines. I am planning on changing my shop around, mostly because I have to take everything off the outside walls so I can insulate. Hopefully I can have a little heat in cold weather. My shop is impossible to heat as is because of 8" block wall conducts cold too good. The shop is like an ice box, I have been in there a lot in cold weather, since I love being in my shop so much. Maybe better to be a little cold than too hot. I have to carry all my projects to the den to glue and finish in cold weather. My work area is only about 10 feet x 12 feet. This is where my 2 scroll saws and work bench is. My first question is about the work bench. I want to do mostly scroll saw, puzzles and fret work and such. I also do other projects such as small boxes and such. I have a planer, band saw, table saw drill press, joiner, sanders, in the other half of the garage.
My first question is about the work bench, is it better to have the bench so I can access all sides and ends or have it along the wall? I have my bench along the wall probably because of the small size of the shop. I can move it to the center if this would be better.
I will have lots of more questions. If anyone wants to offer suggestions about this or other things about shop layout that would be great. Pictures are worth many words.
Thanks dan
