Placement of the Machines When beginning to design your workshop layout for woodworking it is important that you decide exactly where all your basic machinery is to be placed. What you need to remember is that you will need a clearance area around the machines in case you have to work with large pieces of wood. Also look at a way of setting up the placement of the machines so that you do not have to spend your time running from one machine to another because they are spread wide apart around the workshop.
