I recently moved and am planning to build a small workshop ... likely 16x16 or 16x20. I have limited space on the lot, but feel either size will work. I definitely need to be way more efficient with storage of material and especially tools. Main tools are portable tablesaw, bandsaw on casters, DeWalt planer & portable shaper share a 2'x3' cart on wheels, and 12" Mitresaw. And of course there are the usual cast of hand tools ... planes, hammers, chisels, saws, et al. And a 3'x6' rolling workbench.
I also have a standalone Craftsman drillpress, mounted on a rolling base. And I'm wondering what other options I may have for this. It is on a rolling cart, but still takes up roughly a 2'-3' space. It is a great tool and works great when needed - but I'm considering some sort of bench top drill press ... any of you guys using a bench top model? I'm also considering notching the top of the workbench to incorporate one of the above tools ... either the shaper or chopsaw. Any experience from this crowd on this?
Lastly, any tips or experience or suggested web links with what I'm trying to do here is much appreciated.
