Though I have been working in this small space for some time, the need to stop and reorganize comes up often - more due to learning what I can live without than what I thought I "needed".
As you can see in this picture, I have entirely too much stuff sitting on top of my table saw rending the saw useless. If you take a closer look at the picture some things, like the router table fence and the stacked lumber that is part of the project I am working on, need to stay. Since I do not have any extra space to stack lumber, the solution was to orientate the lumber and the router table fence in a manner that would allow the table saw to be used for nearly all for the project cuts without having to repeatedly move the stack.

With the stack of project pieces to the right of the table saw fence and the router fence out of the way, the table saw once again becomes useful AND still serves as a place to store planned pieces prior to being cut to size. Later in this build I will have to use the router table to cut a profile for some trim.
Since I have the stack of planned lumber positioned just behind where the router table fence normally sits, I can simply re-orientate the fence to its usual position. Life would be easier if I had more space, but this will do for now.
