don't forget the central vaccuum/filtration systems. If you line up the various tools based on their intended stock you will simplify the ducting. (sawdust along one wall, welding flux along another, milling chips along another ect.) you have to make it easy to modify and service so all surface mounted and suspended ducts. like if you've got copper on the lathe you want to keep those chips separate from steel so you need a baffle to separate bins out back in a shed with the bulk lube and coolant I imagine. Oh and don't forget to add a nice little gantry and maybe a couple jib cranes :) Maybe later you could add another building with a drainage floor for pressure washing and sand blasting with climate control and air filtration for painting.

Sort:  

Vacuum, filtration, ducting, and drainage. Excellent details that should certainly be added. Thanks :)

drainage floors are more expensive and difficult to make compared to a single slab of concrete and it's not the end of the world to set up temporary tents outside for the odd paint job now and then for the first couple seasons to stretch the budget if it came to it.
