Having decided upon the type of lathe to be used, the next step is the general arrangement of the shop equipment.

Fig. I shows the position of the lathes and benches, so as to get the maximum amount of light at each lathe, to allow ample room for the student to work and pass about the room, to have the grindstone and band-saw handy, and yet not waste any floor space.

Fig. I.

It is poor economy to equip a room with lathes alone, as such an arrangement can only be used as a wood-turning shop, whereas the plan suggested makes the room suitable for pattern making and joinery as well, or a combination of any of the two.
