I'm looking into expanding my current shop. I would like some input from
recent
shop projects. snip

Things I did wrong: Built it TOO small. Remember, you always have 20% more
stuff than room!

Things I did right: Electrical outlets at 52" above the floor.
Fans to give air circulation.
Bench vice on a grinder pedestal with room
around it.
Work benches NOT against walls. This way they
accumulate much less clutter and you can get to both sides of a large
project.

Can't comment on your slab. I had a contractor pour mine and build the shell
of the building. That way he fought with city hall and kept it all legal.

Hope this helps.
