Woodshop layout ideas
Woodshop Layout Examples
Eight complete shop layouts, from a 10×12 spare room to a 30×40 building, plus a blank room if you would rather start from scratch. Each page explains why the machines are where they are, and every example opens in the planner so you can change it for your own space.
Any size
Blank: start from scratch
An empty room. Set your own size, doors, windows and outlets, then add your machines one by one.

How to use an example layout
From example or blank room to your own shop in five steps
01
Pick a start
Choose the example nearest to your room size and door positions, or start blank if none fits.
02
Set your room
Under Room, enter your real dimensions, doors, windows and outlets.
03
Add your machines
Add or swap machines and enter the footprints of your own tools.
04
Fix red first
Yellow hints are fine if the machines are never used together.
05
Share or print
Get a second opinion or print to scale before you move anything heavy.
