Smart Workshop Planning

This project treats the workshop as a complete system.

The goal is to think through layout, utilities, workflow, storage, lifting, lighting, compressed air, electrical service, dust collection, clean work areas, dirty work areas, and future flexibility.

Current Interests

  • General-purpose shop layout
  • Workholding and lifting concepts
  • Vehicle and equipment service space
  • Material storage
  • Utility routing
  • Lighting and electrical planning
  • Separating fabrication, assembly, and clean work
  • Keeping the space adaptable as projects change

This section can include concept sketches, layout studies, lessons learned, and planning notes.
