    I have my own shop I rent and the layout sucks. The door is on the end or the smaller side of the building. If it was on the longer side I could get more cars in it easier.

    I just finished my first year in my shop. I sublease 2000 sq ft. and was able to do the layout to my specs.
    I have 2 12'x10' tall garage doors on opposite ends of the 70' length x 23' deep, and my fab/woodshop in a 20'x20' bump out in the center. All my benches are on wheels with white nylon sheet lining the tops including my sewing station that has machines at opposite ends. I have a A-frame style rolling fabric rack. I love this layout.

    Where do you get the white nylon sheet?

    @Lindbert Guerra Are you building a new shop and designing the layout from scratch? Or do you have an existing shop, which your looking to remodel / rearrange?

    Hi Nadeem;

    Thanks for reaching out. Yes I have an existing one flat cement building which am remodeling into a trim shop. its a small shop of only 1200 sqft. but I have lots of space to add a second floor and extend more ground space as needed.
    Since its the only trim shop for now, I just don't want my shop to look like any ordinary upholstery shop; like an appearance which is welcoming as a trim shop and set the standard that will transcend into the craftsmanship. At my shop I do cars and boats but also preparing to do airplanes in the near future. So like a design that can accommodate all three services.

    Thanks

    Don't mind the mess but it's a small 1000sqft shop, I keep it as clean and presentable everyday incase of walk-ins plus the racks do help keeping each job in their own spot

    Joni nice and organized! The way you have your machine set up is interesting. You have no bench to the left. If you were sewing say a jeep top, are you not fighting with it because its falling on the floor?
