This is a really simple workshop with several of the tools I want to have or already own. I made it in google sketchup and added a few hand tools for effect, its a work in progress and will probably be updated as I find more tools I want.

I would swap the bench-mounted drill press and bandsaw for larger (and thereby more flexible and more useful..) floor-mounted models. Looks like you would have room on the left near your tool chests for them...

This would also give more clear bench space to handle larger projects ~ and breed bigger messes..

Nice drawing, too.

I once had a dream to have my workshop combined with my room. I sleep walk though so I could possibly get into some accidents. :)

 a bigger vice u probabaly already know do, and a wood vice on the bench, its like a piece of wood on the side of the desk that moves in and out and a table in th middle would be incredibly useful and drawers on the bench, and bigger pegboard. a computer may also be good, a metal workbench would be better, im just thinking outloud hope it helps :)

Thanks, are there any suggestions as to what other tools might be good.

plunge router, router table, table saw, drum sander, dremil, and of course a soldering station

I see there is a lot of unused space in the center. Maybe you could have a table also in the center.

Bah, don't say your rendered shots are "badly drawn", I think they look great :-)
