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.

Leon,

Do use a 4' x 8' web of 1xfours or 2xfours or a panel covered with
styrofoam?
