Thread: New location, new shed

Welcome Rasmus.

I would turn the table saw180º so your back is to the big door. That way with the door open you can feed long stock or sheet goods into the shop. Better is to have them all on wheels so you can move them as needed for the work you are doing.

My dad was from Denmark but don't ask me from what part.

Hi

Thanks for reply. Everything is on wheels except for the table saw and outfeed table.

Good idea, but that way I always have to have the door open and in Denmark it is freezing cold 😂

I will try and see how it works

Hello Rasmus, for me, getting the DC out of the working area is a priority, porting the pipework through the wall.
Putting the bandsaw on wheels and away from the tablesaw, against the wall until required the main modification to your plan.
A comfortable chair/workshop stool for those quiet times of pondering the universe or getting some quiet time without the significant other or kids is a must as well.

Hi Rasmus.

If this was mine I’d be looking at:
A large assembly/finishing table somewhere against the wall.

Dust collector outside (assuming weather allows).

Racks for wood storage.

A smaller outfeed table. I don’t see the need for one wider then the saw table, in fact it may snag timber if it droops over the edge of the saw table. I’d make the outfeed table the same width as the saw table and about the same depth. Maybe you are planning to use the outfeed table as an assembly table. I’m not sure I like that idea.

Some sort of shelf or cabinet for WIP. I think nothing destroys your ability to keep a workshop clean and tidy then having WIP lying around the workshop - especially when you have several projects on the go at once, or hard-to-finish projects that stay around for a long time.

I think the point made above is valid. Turn the table saw around so when you bring sheet goods through the door they go straight onto the table saw. I don’t see how the weather affects that.

Yes good point.

Was recently communicating with a relative in Northern Italy who has set up his dust collector in an enclosure outside his workshop. He has a built in diverter to the exit of the enclosure so he can totally vent outside his workshop in summer but in winter he can divert the air back inside his workshop through a set of filters. I have asked him for photos.

Rasmus it is going down to -30C tonight plus wind chill. And the cold part of winter is yet to come.Your in almost T-shirt weather with the 6C temperatures you have at the moment.

Put the tables and outfield table on wheels so they can be placed as needed. The comments about the location of the DC come from those in a warm climate but their reasoning is sound. Now whether you have the ability to locate it outside is another matter that only you can decide. This forum has the best dust collection section of any forum anywhere and it would be to your advantage to take some time to read it for at least the last few years of posts especially since you are not locked into anything yet. https://www.woodworkforums.com/f200

It would be useful to know a little more about the machines you have and what you might want someday. It would also help to know how you use the shop or in other words what you make. From what I see with the Panto-Router and the X Carve you might be making signs or carving panels. If you don't make cabinets then you saw placement/orientation makes sense especially if you use a track saw to bring pieces down to size.

Welcome to the forum.

I don’t know what’s outside or how high your window is but it’s nice to get natural light on and have a view from your workbench. Just a thought as to move it would require you to move stuff around from your origonal plan.
