A fellow Pittsburgher, I have a similar (12x12+low ceiling) sized show that I actually had Marc feature on The Wood Whisperer (search for "Mantown"). My only comment is that until recently I had my table saw in the garage, and the situation really stunk. Any time I wanted to cut something I had to move a car, drag the saw into place, clean up the dust, and it made my garage a mess. So I bit the bullet and the tablesaw is on a good rolling "box" stand, and I even built a router table into the right wing. I also use the left wing as a place to mount a Kreg pocket hole jig. The one big advantage I have is double doors that lead out under the deck, so I can open them when I'm cutting something too long to fit in the room. What I'm getting at is that not having to go to the garage to use the saw changed my woodworking abilities tremendously. Of course, I don't have a band saw...or decent dust collection....
