Moving My Workshop to the Shed.

Garden Shed Workshop

I have many projects going on right now and tons that i need to do. The one that i'm currently putting most of my time into at the moment is moving my "workshop" from my garage to my shed. The garage is a nice big space when the car isn't parked in it but every night whether i'm finished with my project or not i have to pack up and make room to pull the car in. This is my biggest gripe about my garage set up, half of my time is spent setting up and breaking down every day. So i began to see if moving it all out to my 12ft x 16ft shed would even fit. An empty shed would make a perfect workshop but i need mine to do double duty. The biggest item i need to remain in the shed is my riding lawn mower along with all my outdoor tools. I took some measurements and made a rough layout on a 3D modeling software i have. My goal is to be able to use most of my tools while the mower is in the shed and doors closed for cold weather but also be able to pull the mower out take advantage of the extra space. I have taken notes from different peoples workshops i have seen and what i like and don't like. After virtually laying it out i have decided to take the plunge.

This is what i came up with. It isn't a detailed plan of each area but i was mostly wanting to see if i could fit my tools in the space i had without being too crowded and leaving room for everything els ei need to store inside. This design will likely change as i go along. The first are i plan on working on is the miter saw station shown in the left.
