    Edging lab drawings

    Can someone share the drawings for a one man edging lab with an edger, automatic blocker, Lensometer, stone and tinting unit please. Smallest foot print possible!
    TIA

    Beware of "smallest footprint possible." You will always need more room than you think you do, you need room for that one thing you forgot you needed to leave room for, and don't underestimate the psychological benefit to having a bit of extra elbow room. I'm in the biggest one-person lab I've ever had, and I'm happier back there and my accuracy is better as a result.
    I'm Andrew Hamm and I approve this message.

    I completely agree. There is never enough room. Just when you think you have it all planned out perfect, things change over time.

    Take a look at OWDC’s videos. John’s set up may work for you. Keep in mind that you will need room for trays and tools along with the required equipment. One way to minimize footprint is to use a corner or L configuration.
