Kim, I don't see your compressor in your new shop, I was going to suggest that you might put it in a bit of a box out side the workshop, against the wall, and run a pipe round the shop, with a few outlets in convenient places. Ian S C
Nice choice on the lathe, am thinking Santa may have to add a couple more reindeer though to deliver that beasty!!Bill
You need a nice shed out in the yard to keep all the garden tools lawn mower etc. in. My wife and I both enjoy parking inside; but we probably get more snow and frost than you do.
I like how you have left room to walk all the way around the mill and lathe. I know space limitations usually dictate machine positions but I really dislike having machine tools shoved up against a wall or stuffed into a corner. Also having the bench right behind the lathe will be handy and when the time comes you may also want to do the same for the mill. It is nice to be able to just turn around and have a work surface. My mill and lathe sit 90 degrees to each other and my small bench services both machines and also holds most of the commonly used tooling for them.
Would it be possible to just wheel the dust collector over to the sander or saw when needed? It may also be handy to have if you ever decide to do and wood work on the lathe or mill (pattern Making) maybe; or metal polishing on the buffer which can be quite dusty.

I'm hoping if I can find a nice spot for a dogie bed, my dog will be able to be out in the shop with me. She hasn't been allowed out in the garage yet. I'm kind-a hoping that house rule will change. But not if its safe for the pup, then I'll probably drop that line of questioning. ......Thanks everyone for the support and the great suggestions!Kim
