Workshop setting out....

[Comfyjumper]

At last my purpose built workshop is ready....it's 14x10 feet, with a ceiling clearance of 90 inches to accommodate my Smart CMC, which will be against one of the 10' walls. I have a Keencut Excalibur to fit in, along with a plan chest which has my Hotpress on it and a work surface which has mountboard underneath, plus a Cassesse and Morso. Downside is one of the 14' walls is windows and doors......and I need horizontal racking for moulding..........suggestions please as to how to set things out? Thanks.

Carefully

Most helpful, lol

Sorry, couldn't help it......it's going to be tight, as a morso could ideally do with 15ft ish, 10ft to the left of the blades and 5ft to the right, so that'll be one of your long walls covered?
Then your Excalibur will take up about half the other wall, depends where the door is I guess?
Moulding above the morso? Underpinned in a corner? Or beside your desk? CMC?

It's amazing just what you can get into a small space. The morso needs to fit in first. If you can arrange it so that either one side or the other points to a doorway you should never have to shift it. Between two solid walls and you'll need about 16ft of space in order to get a 10ft feed-in. Less than this and you'll need to chop a bit off a 10ft stick on the first cut.
A wall-mounted cutter similarly needs space either side.
Never had a CMC, but I'm thinking this could be mounted on a table on wheels so it can be shunted about.

Is the underpinner a front-loader? These are much easier if space is tight.

I know a guy who had a wall cutter, Morso, underpinner and manual mountcutter in a space about 5ftx 8ft. Inc glass/board storage. The morso and pinner were pneumatic so there was a compressor in there somewhere. I do believe he had a cunning little trapdoor in the wall to poke moulding though.....
Didn't have a lot of walking around to do. Or a lot of sweeping the floor either.

[Comfyjumper]

Lots of shoofing around to do then........

Draw it out on the floor and walls in chalk , then walk around with a sheet of the backing board you will be using, and lengths of moulding, see how you get on
Are you going to wall mount the CMC, because that's why you need 90" clearance , not a thing I would do ,

[Comfyjumper]

No, the Smart is upright on a stand thankfully, like the Valiani 120.

I have my Valiani on an upright[angled] stand and I have my Morso alongside the Valiani. The upright stand allows me to put the 3 metre moulding lengths on the Morso lead in table and behind the Valiani.
The door is on the wall at right angle to wall where the Valiani and Morso are located.
Overall size is 18x10feet. Prefab building with only 7 feet high walls. Angled roof. On other long wall I have a work bench 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. Storage press on end of bench allows me to rest my excaliber against it [press]. Once YOU get started you can and will rearrange things and will be amazed at what can be done. Take the first step and you are almost there. Good Luck
