Looks like you made good use out of a limited amount of space. I'm JUST starting my garage makeover, but its going to be a while before its picture time.

My 0.02 worth of advice...
Put your plastic dust collection bag into a 30 gallon metal trash can. This will save you an incredible amount of time WHEN (and it will happen sooner than later) a small chunk of wood goes sailing into the system and rips the bag wide open. The can will also protect the plastic from getting ripped open when someone walks to close and steps on it and it is pressurized. You ain't never seen this big of a mess until it happens.
To really cut down on fine dust getting all over the place you need to replace the fiber bag with a very good canister filter ... wynnenv.com/cartridge_filters.htm. It is NOT the large dust that gets your health in a jam, it is the very fine dust that goes way deep into the lungs that does you in over a period of time. If you do not find what you want give them a call. Their representative is very knowledgeable about different makes of dust collection systems.
Paint the sheet rock walls a bright white and greatly increase your light distribution.
Nice set up otherwise. :biggrin:

Looks great. My only bit of criticism is that the grinder is too far from the lathe. But that' just my preference :biggrin:

Like it. just my $0.02 I would of put the mitersaw where the sander is and built it up alittle. That way long boards could be supported by the workbench.

Thanks for the suggestions. I relocated some of the tools and will have to try out the new configuration. BTW..table saw and planer is on the other side of the garage. No way were those two going to fit on the same side as all the rest
