Anyone Applied Feng-Shui To Their Shop Yet?

Just a thought.

I had the advantage of having a shop built as part of my new house. I
saved the kitchen cabinets (including sink) from the old cabin that was
on the property. Installed these in the shop - not only running water
but a sewer to boot. As to wind, I have a window each on two sides and
a garage door which when open, gives one the impression of being in a
carport. The remaining wall has the door into the house. My feng is
definitely shui.

Ah, you forgot to install feng shui cords.
I've heard it makes ALL the difference.

Found some in the corner behind the lathe when I was cleaning, once.

When my Sister told her young daughter that uncle George was on Guam, her
daughter remarked that "Guam" sounded like something on the floor you didn't
want to step into.

Pretty close, overall....

No water here either. I'd like to have a sink somewhere closeby to
have for my waterstones, wood steamer, and cleanup. Air movement from
power tools, DC, air filter, and fans. I keep plants in my shop
window during the winter months and they are usually covered with
sawdust by spring. I painted the interior of my shop white, just to
make it brighter but I'm not sure what Feng-Shui says about white.

Feng Shui says that bad chi eminates from sharp edges and corners.
Probably not something you want to think about in a wood shop!
