Thanks fellas. Not surprised some of you have an appreciation for what goes into setting up and maintaining a shop. Some of my favorite times are spent working alone in my shop. There's an awful lot of stuff stored in there. And there isn't much room to spare, as it serves both woodworking and metalworking duties. But I try not to let it become cluttered.
The stationary machines take up a lot of space and require dedicated working space around them: 3 table saws, radial arm saw, 4 bandsaws, scroll saw, 3 drill presses, lathe, mill, spindle sander, drum sander, disc sander, belt/disc sander, thickness plane, hydraulic press/metal brake, buffing machine... Same with the workbenches, some of which do double duty as offcut tables for the table saws. I do a fairly good job of keeping them clear so they can be put immediately into service with no time wasted. And assures there will be space for setting up fabrication projects, like this stainless and teak boarding step/swim ladder.
