Hope to occupy mid/late October 2023

Layout: Wheels on anything you can get them on that will be safe. Tall floor machines like drill presses and maybe band saws need to be on the floor and not on wheels.
Nice shop building. The garage door will make getting things in and out so much easier.

Thank you for the feed back,
I had the opportunity to purchase a buddies dads woodworking equipment after he passed and he had everything on wheels. And yes if you look closely the windows on the left side of the shop are up high. Was kinda planning on making that my “break down” starting point. Just can’t make my mind up as have a stationary miter station or mobile. Along that wall.
Wheels!
Miter saws are essentally disposable portable power tools so don't put too much effort and resources in one. Its not like it is a radial arm saw that's capable of so much more. For a temporary chopping station for relatively narrow stock, a chop saw is fine. Probably consider work in process and how you'll deal with those logistics. Stock storage is another biggie to consider. We don't know what type of projects you'll be doing in the future and you probably don't either at this point.
Nice!
Not sure of the shop size, but looks nice.
Dust collection: Are you going to vent outside, or?
If outside, is there a specific window you'll use?
Low\high ceilings, 2 level - 2nd for wood storage, or only 1 level?
Send us more information on the shop specifics when you have time..
Thank you for the post and keep us informed on the progress, when you can.

Shop inside 20x24, (there’s also a 8’ cover porch on the back) one story with basicly 11’ 2x6 stud walls
I have two dust collection system, the one in the picture. I Also have a smaller one that has three 2” ports on it, kinda the same design with the cloth bag on top and plastic bag on bottom. I have a air cleaner thing that came with the lot of wood working equipment. I plugged it in and tried to turn it on but nothing. Sent it on to storage, hoping between these three pieces I will be able to keep a handle on dust.
Vent outside! What does that mean? I haven’t heard of that before and sure didn’t plan for it. But I still have a little time before Hardie board goes up.
As of today I was planning on using this wall for storage. The big opening is for heating and AC unit. I do have “dry” storage under the back porch.
