woodgears.ca basement workshop layout

Basement workshop layout

While trying to figure out how to lay out my new basement workshop I couldn't figure out how to place the table saw and jointer in the back part of the workshop. Rather tha fiddle with a cad program, I just cut up some pieces of wood to serve as a layout model for the workshop.
I tried to figure out a good layout for where to put my old table saw, jointer, and slot mortiser in the back of my shop (left on the photo at left). As it turned out, even with a nice layout model, I still couldn't figure out a good placement for these tools that didn't result in some sort of interference here and there.
So I eventually decided to make some mobile bases for my old table saw, jointer, and band saw. The mortising machine had wheels already, and I already kept the thickness planer on a dolly as well.
This shows the layout as of early 2009. Since then, I added a home made slot mortising macine and a home made bandsaw, both on wheels.
