My new shop is DONE!!

"Anybody have advice on how to access a high ceiling for stuff like wiring and fluorescent tube changing?"

Since it is completely empty, consider renting a scissor lift.  Will give you a safe platform with hand rails that is easy to move about.   

Thanks for the tip.  I considered a scaffold on wheels, but that would take up space all the time.

Planes get a lot of pull here here but, the shop is where they ALL GET BUILT. Great, great shop. Starting to get my shop together. Will be studying your pics. Your shop is duel purpose; for planes and guitars. Mine will also be duel purpose, for planes and bike fabrication. If you have any shop tips, please pass it along. Thanks sooo much for posting.

You're welcome Milton, the main thing I recommend is that inclosed paint booth with a good exhaust fan. 

Ty, hadn't even thought of that, gotta think that one over a bit.  Thanks for the input.

Howard, one thing I was rather extravagent on was my lighting, I put up four tube LED fixtures.  My electric bill has not increased over a couple of bucks and I can see wonderfully in there!  No shadows anywhere.

You need one of the step ladders we used to have in telephone central offices.  12 foot to the top rail and had wheels, also could be folded together to take less space.  I know when I built my shop I was wishing I could have confiscated a couple of them.
