Magic thanks! Just trying to get a sense of scale as I'm about to embark on a series of workbenches, one of which will have an MFT top.

Looks good. Could you share the dimensions of your MFT workbench?

Yes hobby use only

Thanks Derek. As a relative beginner I don’t have many machines. Mostly power tools and hand tools. I have a crosscut compound mitre saw, handheld router, jigsaw, drill, driver, palm sander and track saw. I think my focus will be on the mft and an associated outfeed/assembly table, with a...

Ah ok - I thought it was a ready made solution rather than a kit of parts. Cheers.

Thanks. Do you have any further details on the manufacturer of the frame? Looks interesting and something I’d like to investigate further.

Thanks for the insight. Some things there for me to think about. I'm thinking I should be combining my MFT (aka tracksaw table) with another table which could function as my bench and assembly table.

Thanks. The garage door is the only way into the garage. Its an up and over type and my space measurements accommodate the mechanism. I could place stuff in front of the door. My main wall space at the moment is the back wall (2.8m) and the side wall (4m). Replacing the garage door is not a...

Thanks. I think this is part of my problem - I don't really know what my workflow is at the moment. I see a lot of YouTube videos where the main workbench is in the centre of the space and I've thought about that but, I also want to make use of the space against the two walls for cabinets.

Amateur but, keen to learn!

Morning, I'm looking for help in laying out my workshop. Space available I have part of my double garage available as a dedicated workshop area. See blank plan below. The clear area is 2800mm wide by 4000mm long but, I need access to a set of shelving down the middle of the garage as shown...

As others have said - not a good idea. Just put a light switch in line at a convenient location. I've just done this with an auxiliary light above one of my workbenches.

Thanks for all the welcome messages - look forward to participating!!

Hi, I'm Doogs and look forward to contributing the forum where I can and hopefully learning from more experienced woodworkers. I've not had much time recently to do much but, hopefully in the coming months I hope to be starting on some small projects and sorting out my workshop (aka the garage).
