My shop is in a two car garage and I have to sher it with the wifes car so I need to make it movable to a point . My table saw is set so I can cut up to fore feet with the door down my router table is so I can use it as a in feed table or move it out to be used .I just got a new band saw it is a Grizzly 555 14’ with a9’ riser block I have an small drill press I put no the base the band saw came with I need to lower the band saw so I could use i the same with the table saw I need to set tool high at 28” to 29” so it is safer for me to use in the wheelchair. I use hand planes for jointing and plane.

Robert, this is a nice looking shop and the modifications that you have done to your table saw make it not only functional but also add needed shop storage. Putting your tools at the same height is a good idea that adds consistency to your shop.

I like the ceiling height that you have in your shop. This allows you to store lumber and plywood on edge rather than horizontally where it is difficult to reach a board in the back of the stack. And I can empathize with you about putting your wife’s car in there. I am just glad we added a third garage in our walk-out basement that I converted into a shop. If I had to ask my wife to give up HER garage space for my shop I would be sleeping outside before she would let her vehicle sit out overnight. :)

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed visiting your shop.

Robert, nice set up, I like how everything is the same height. Have you ever seen General’s Access line of tools? They are designed for people in wheel chairs, they are at a lower height so it is safer and more convenient to work with, it’s not a full line of equipment but General is off to a good start, here is a link http://www.general.ca/site_access/access_en.html . Thanks for the post.
