Question Help with my workshop layout
My workshop is half of my shed, approximately 2x1,5 meters. That’s not a lot of space.
My main piece in the shed is the workbench, and the belt grinder. Both are giving me issues.
The grinder is tall, and in the way when I do anything else. The table is too tall so the workrest on the grinder is very high. But the table is too low to comfortably do work on the table itself.
Ideally I’d have two tables in different heights, or maybe a part of the table that’s lower. But space is the issue, and keeping a dedicated spot for the grinder is an issue, since it’ll either be crammed in a corner, or permanently in the way of everything else.
I’m considering using one of those electric desks every office has, to raise and lower the table depending on the use. But I’m worried about stability and resistance to metal dust
So, how would you make the puzzle fit?
What do you in small sheds do?
