Hello,
The wife and I are soon to be moving into a house we recently
purchased, and I am looking forward to finally having a large garage.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites on the net or book
recommendations for workbench and woodworking shop plans.
Several years ago I saw a setup which had benchtop powertools mouted to
a type of foot, which could slide in and out of several stations around
the shop. I would love to setup something similar.
This is probably a topic that appears in this group often, but I was
wondering if people could share some of their favorite ideas and plans.
Thanks

Often. I would say your best bet would be checking the archives,
and pick and choose what you want.

Norm had a two show version of a workshop in a garage. You can check his

to see if you want to order his plans and/or the video(s).

First, get copies of Tauton's "Workbench" book and their "Toolbox"
book. (ISBNs on request.) In spite of it's title, the toolbox book is
really about options for tool storage of all sorts.
Those two will give you loads of high-quality ideas for your new shop
space. If there's a companion book on small shops, grab it as well.
Woodsmith and Time-Life also had a book titled "The Small Shop" in
their woodworking series. You should be able to find it in used
bookstores or such. It's got a plan for a nifty rotating station that
holds three or four workbench sized tools and fits in a corner, as
well as some other useful stuff.
Congratulations on your new space. Enjoy the planning!

Though that wouldn't be quite fair, would it?

I just wrote out a measly $80 Lee Valley wishlist but a client check
came in today, so I may be forwarding it to Rob any time now. ;)

Two new additions here.
I'm considering the small shop and workstation books myself.

If you don't like them I'm pretty sure Lee Valley will take them back.

Yet another reason to spend money at Lee Valley.
My wife and I took turns marking up the Lee Valley Christmas catalog
and gave it to my parents as a wish list for Christmas. Lots of good,
inexpensive stuff in there for both of us. (Lots of good, expensive
stuff for me as well, but that's another story.)
