T he orthopedic health specialist / woodworker behind this shop considers it a constant work in progress. Tyme (he goes by the single name) continues to tweak both the layout and contents to increase cleanliness and efficiency whenever possible.
Every tool in the shop features some manner of dust collection, and some collect it twice. His router table uses dust hoses on both the cabinet and fence; his downdraft table hooks to the main dust collector, while individual sanders connect to a shop vacuum. Hand tools and accessories reside in cabinets or drawers to keep them dust-free.
Tyme didn't want loud, dirty utility equipment hogging up shop space, so he built a 3x16' shop extension, divided it into small closets, and placed his dust collector, 3-phase power converter, air compressor, vacuum pump, air dryer, and dust filters there. This removes the noise and heat they create and, most important, dust from the overall shop environment.
