This is my 2-car garage shop a little tight but very productive. Just behind the craftsmen roll around tool box is where all the lawn tools are stored. As soon as my better half says it’s ok, I’ll build a garden tool shed/pool house. Gonna require about $1800. After which I’ll have room for a new 30” drum sander and a new 16-42 jet lathe (real tired of the ridgid pole lathe, gotta keep adjusting the pole. I also belive it’s time to consider an 18” Rikon bandsaw. My little 12” craftsmen doesn’t do so well on resawing hardwoods. Just under the hitachi disk sander is my router table. The Table saw is a mixed breed. The main component is a delta contractor saw. Working for woodcraft I was able to get a brand new accu-fence and benchdog table from a powermatic table saw. The black table also came with it. All total, including the saw itself I’ve got $100.00 wrapped up in it. I thought it was a great deal. Took some modification and alot self motivation, as well as learning a few new cuss words.

Rodd, you have a nice shop space but I can tell that getting to the “non-essential” stuff like the spreader and lawn mowers is a challenge. Like you I have confined these to a corner of my shop and simply stacked them in there. :)
It looks like you have organize your shop well and I like the bench and pegboard combination. It does help to keep thing organized. I like your table saw as well. I intend to upgrade my Craftsman this year and right now it is a toss up between this PM version, one with a router lift, and a Sawstop. So even though I happen to be a Powermatic fan I am not sure which way I am going to go.
Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed visiting your shop.
