Earlier this month I posted some thoughts on a new shop. Currently I do not have a final solution, but continue to lean towards a divided three car garage. It seems like the most economical solution and after discussions with a real estate agent would not affect resale of the property.

One of the great tools available for analyzing shop space is provided by Grizzly. At this point a disclaimer; I don’t own any Grizzly tools and I don’t personally know anyone that does. They do appear to be popular and I’ve seen very few negative reviews and would consider them in the future for upgrades to my exisitng tools.  Take a few minutes and lay out your shop using the Grizzly Tools Shop Planner.

Using the planner I laid out a single car garage (11′ x 22′) with an annex (6′ x 13′.) the diagram above is the output from the planner. Ceratinly there are tools included that I don’t own, but it does give a great idea about how the space would work including the essential shop dog.
