I took some time to rearrange the workshop. The old layout was wasting a lot of space. It worked well for woodworking, but didn’t really leave much room for the racecar. It worked obviously, since I installed the roll cage in the old layout. But, with the tablesaw and the WW workbench parallel there was only about 2 feet on either side of the car when it was pulled between them. I rotated the tablesaw/planer/outfeed assembly by 90 degrees. So, now there is just barely overlap if I pull the car all the way into the shop with the front nose.
Someday, I’m going to remove the horse stalls. Then I will move the WW shop to the back third. But for now, it works much better as a combination workshop, rather than a dedicated wood shop.
There also used to be several large piles of wood stacked against the walls in various places. I sorted through all these, got rid of the scraps, and stacked the remainder in places that didn’t take up so much floor/wall space (under the tablesaw and in the stalls).
Looks great. As a fellow woodworker and racer I know how scrap wood and sheet goods can consume valuable space. Hope to see you on the track somewhere in Texas.
Thanks, john! Working on it. SCCA cancelled their super school again this year. So, I’m thinking going through the nasa program.
