Prepare to see many fails!

The Ultimate Workshop Layout

Join me, as I spend 7 days re-organising my entire workshop, in an attempt to resolve a few issues and achieve the ULTIMATE workshop layout which maximises infeed and outfeed space at machines, co-locates all my large machines together to enable efficient dust extraction and generally have a de-clutter and clear out!
