My current setup consists of two tables: One is 6 feet long and the other is 4 feet, and they are in the corner of the shop in an "L" shape.
The stripper, degreaser, desmut, and anno tank are on the longer table, with the power supply placed on a shelf above and the chiller placed below. Also below are the dyes which aren't currently being used. There is also a cabinet mounted on the wall above this table which is used for storing various supplies.
The smaller table is home to three hot plates, which heat my dyes and sealer, along with the supplies needed for splashes, acidwashes, and the like. Below I have the rinse tubs.
I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I can tell you that this setup takes up very little space and I always know exactly where everything is. Hopefully this will help.

There's a picture of a pretty slick setup in Caswell's plating manual (Ver. 9, p. 8 ). It has the tanks sunken into a cabinet and counter top. It also shows how the whole setup can be closed up when not in use. As soon as I can dedicate space, I plan to do something similar. I like the idea of closing up the operation. With so many things going on around here, dust is a big problem at the moment.

at this point im going to build something similar to that but i am going to leave it open for now at least. i plan to expand in a few months when i get the acctuall anodizing perfected.
