It's taken a lot to get to this point. Much of it standing or sitting and looking at the space and figuring out how - exactly - I want the place laid out and making it all work together. Then there's the whole "build a shop without a shop" scenario. Every time you cut wood or sand drywall mud it makes a complete mess out of everything.
I put the table saw in place, knew where I wanted the router (same basic locations I've used setting up car audio shops) and knew where the compressor, dust collector, and lathe were going.
I got everything in rough place and started pluming all of the dust collection. I wanted to have the piping along one wall but allowed myself a location to run wye across the shop to the opposite wall if I wanted/needed in the future. Running piping along that wall meant I needed to adjust placement of the table saw, router, lathe, and air compressor to get it all to work the way I wanted and allow for an outfeed/wood storage/downdraft table. I'm hashing out the plan for that table in my head and making revisions.
At this point I need to build some retainers/supports for some of the dust collection piping that will go below the blast gates. The SawStop over arm dust collection hood wants to rotate the 4" pipe. A simple brace will keep it in place. Once those are in I can focus on the outfeed/storage/sanding table.
This is how it looked on the 20th. I've since built the riser for the support legs of the table saw.

And , after looking back through the image folder, here are a couple of photos from May 7th. Before I started framing it all in.
