    My studio is currently in the process of being expanded and
    renovated. As I've done my layout on paper several times the thought
    that keeps coming up is that I never want my back to be facing the
    door... This is for security reasons and for the fact that we all go
    into a "trance" or meditative state when we're concentrating
    intensely on our projects.  

    While we're working at the bench or at the computer desk we always
    need to be aware of who's coming or going... the same rule applies
    with anyone else who is working in the shop. I'm preparing a new
    bench area for an apprentice and I want to keep an eye on them as
    well. The front of the bench (bench pin) should never face the
    doorway either.  The eyes in the back of my head are good, but not
    perfect. Safety and security is always my number one priority, as it
    should be for all of us. 

    Best of Luck with your move... it's a real adventure !
