Ya its about 20' X 20'. I spent a lot of time with a graph paper layout of the floor and scale cuttouts of the machines in order to arrange it all to fit. I wish I had more room but it is what it is. Fortunately, I have a very large carport just outside the garage and my wood machines are on machine movers so I often roll the saw,planer and jointer outside onto the concrete carport to use them. That also helps keep the dust down inside.

Most of my neighbors have home workshops to varying degrees and do the same thing so I get no flack from any of them if I'm outside running a noisy planner on a saturday afternoon. Plus they kind of like the idea that if they don't have a tool they need I probably have it. So they are nice to me.

Wow!! A handyman's amusement park!!! What I wouldn't give for a day pass to the place. :-) Thanks for sharing.

If it weren't for all the cool tools, benches, shelves, drawers, lights, stereo and cleanliness it's just like my garage.

Congrats on a very, very nice shop!
