I have been fortunate on Wall Street and raised enough cash over the past few months to purchase a building and move out of the garage (shared with Wife's car).
I do not have time to construct a building myself and had good luck a few years back with Dutch Barns from Greensboro.
In my price range, I can build a 14' x 20', 12' x 24' or 16' x 20' I find the various articles in magazines to be specific to ones needs as opposed to what is really functional for a general shop.
What shape (square vs rectangle) would work best?
Equipment includes table saw, 14"band saw (future upgrade to 18"), 17" drill press, 6" jointer, Dewalt Planer, 18-36 drum sander, mini lathe, full size lathe (future), mortiser, dust collector and a couple of work benches. I know this is a lot of equipment and will be a tight fit in any case. Plan to run dust collection overhead, Family member is electrical contractor so adding 60amp service with overhead and floor plugs etc.
Open to any suggestions on size and/or layout.
