It is always fun to arrange a new shop. Some comments:

- I would personally go for the longer sliding table and wider rip capacity. There are so many times when you will want it.

- The AF22 is not in a good location. As you will want to stack timber (either on horses or your cart), in that area. I find when machining a lot of timber, especially large and heavy timber, using clamps and parallel rip jigs, it is easier to slide the timber onto the slider from the “other side” (where you currently have your AF22. Is it possible to move the AF22 into the dead space on the outfeed side, near where the bandsaw is?

- Consider angling the bandsaw a little to help with longer boards for resaw and to accommodate your AF22.

- I do like the idea one person had of moving the KF into the middle of the room so you can put your JP in parallel with it. Remember that you only need lots of space out to the left of the KF right at the saw blade. How often do you cross cut something 12’ long and 4’ wide? Usually it’s long boards that are 12” or less in width.

- I use my FAT300 for a lot of things. But you don’t want it as your only assembly table. When machining timber, you need a roll around cart to move from station to station. I strongly suggest you build yourself a modest sized “assembly” table and put it against the wall where you have it, and use the FAT300 as a roving roll-around. Either that or buy two.

- I do a lot of hand work, and a FAT300 is not stable enough for hand planing, chiselling, etc. You need something solid somewhere.

- What are your walls made out of? Can you mount storage items above bench height? That way you do not encroach on infeed and outfeed and cross-cut capacities.

- Finally, I finally listened to my colleagues and built a roll around tool cart. Love mine.

Fun Fun!
