re: Preliminary ideas

Thanks for the input. Actually, my saw is close to the garage door and my current plan – the one on my head that hasn’t yet seen the white of paper yet LOL – is to move it a few inches even closer to the garage door. I’ve always had to open the garage door for long rips. That sucks in the winter. I’m thinking of putting the planer on a flip top base and if the mitre saw is still in the way I guess I could pull it off the table for those rare cuts. I don’t know. The idea of organization appeals to me. Maybe I’m just taking this shop thing to far. Thats why I’m here: to solicit advice from people far more experienced than me. I’m sure many people have done this and regretted it because of the time involved.
