Default Happy days

Finally convinced my wife that I deserve the double garage for my shop and will soon be moving out of the single stall I now call home. This means a fixed location for most of my machinery, especially the TS (soon to be equipped with a fixed outfeed table). Need to do the prep work first -- power distribution and lighting and a good plan for dust collection. Want to minimize wires on the floor and all the other crap that gets in the way of my feet.

Might I suggest putting every thing on a mobile base. I operated out of
a 2 car garage for 30 years and when more equipment that ended up on
mobile bases the more functional the shop became. I am now in a 3 car
garage and believe even more strongly in mobile bases.

I often erect a 4'x 8' break down work surface. a permanently placed
table saw would cramp working quarters. STILL there is no "best place"
for the table depending on the type cut.
