2 MAKE YOUR EQUIPMENT DO DOUBLE DUTY

A workbench acts as the hub of any workshop. For small spaces, select a workbench 4' to 5' long and 24" wide. If you make it the same height as your table saw top, it can also support sheet goods when ripping. In our drawing, top right, we added storage for portable power tools and bins for supplies below a table-type bench.

A good-quality 8" or 9" table saw, properly adjusted and fitted with a sharp carbide-tipped blade,

can cut accurately enough to do much jointer work. For an extension, equip it with a plastic laminate-covered plywood router table. Also consider making a liftoff top, as shown, top far right, and you have extra bench space.

Too cramped for a table saw? Opt for a radial arm against a wall, as in our long, narrow shop plan. With a little cabinet work, you can transform the space it occupies into a real work center, with bench and storage above and below (see the drawing, above right).
