Shop design

[bluwolf]

Is there any simple online shareware or freeware out there for designing a shop. I mean simple for a simpleton.

I have a two car garage that is full of woodworking and metalworking tools. It's been cobbled up as each new tool was added. It functions okay, but...

And now I'm searching for a 12x36 lathe to replace the 7x12. As if it hadn't hit critical mass already. I know a lot of things will need to be moved around. But every time I stand there and look at it, I can't see the forest for the trees as far as a new layout.

Thanks,
Mike

The Grizzly Workshop Planner is pretty simple and easy.

Any CAD program should work well.

I know a lot of people who like Google Sketchup - and best part is that it's free!

I think I have this bookmaked somewhere, never tried it and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

I forgot to mention I've used this before quite a while ago. Some time after I had it pretty much done something happened on the website and I lost it all. I was afraid to do it all again. But I may still end up doing it.

Thanks guys,
Mike
