Garage Shop Calc: make the machines fit
A collection of garage-workshop calculators and scaled layouts helps users plan equipment, circuits, heating, lighting, and space around a parked car.
- For
- People planning a home garage workshop
- Worth noticing
- The layout tool accounts for operator clearance and whether a car remains parked in the garage.
Field notes
The example 22 x 22 ft two-car layout keeps one sedan in the garage and places a compact woodshop on mobile bases beside it. Its calculator list extends beyond floor planning: the electrical tools describe voltage-drop checks and wire sizing, while air-system tools cover compressor demand, dust-collector airflow, and duct diameters. The site says its subpanel estimate draws full-load amps from an NEC motor table and is something to discuss with an electrician.
