Default Help planning new shop

Looks like a nice setup.

Yes, overhead electric is always nice, you can do a drop anywhere you
need it as you expand or reprganize.

I would add "clean outs" to the pipes in the floor. If you get a clog,
you wnat an easy way to get in there and hog out the problem. Maybe
just by using a 45 or 'Y' type fitting to come up out of the floor
gives you enough access if you need it.

I would build a permenant or movable outfeed table or even embed the
TS on 3 sides with a table. This central location makes good for doing
other work on the back side and makes it real sweet for working with
big sheets or having stack area if you are running big projects. I
often find myself breaking down rough lumber and cycling lots of
pieces through the jointer, TS, planer and jointer again and having a
big outfeed table gives a nice central location to stack to and pull
from.

Hello,

I am rebuilding my workshop/garage (see outline at:http://cyrille.hydrix.com/garage.jpg) and am open for sugestions.

I plan to run 110/220V and vacume pipes in the concrete slab, where the
Table saw is and under the car (for when the car is not there)
I also plan to have overhead vacum since the darn planer (dewalt) is such a
pain to use with the dust port just above and in the middle of the outfeed
table...
the band saw and the jointer are seldomly used, this is why I placed them in
'fast access storage' instead of in the middle of the shop...

I also plan to have shelves/citchen cabinets on prety much every walls...

Do you have any suggestions, things that I should be thinking about now,
before I pour the slab?

regards, cyrille
