I don't see a lathe in that mix anywhere, nor a band saw. So space saved there.

Your wall mount dust collector saves a little bit of floor space.

My suggestion would be to get your hands on Sketchup and get after it. Find models of tools sized similarly to what you are putting in, or make your own models, and lay it out.

You don't have to have exact visual representations, just place holders to account for the space used.

Your TS rails are relatively short compared to mine, so you have more room around the TS to work. If I recall the Ridgid Jointer will sit just underneath the table height of a TS3660. So placing the jointer to the side will work for you. A workbench built to double as an out feed support table is a GREAT thing to have in the shop as well. There are several designs out there for that. Wood Magazine had a plan out last year for one that would rise up on casters over the TS for a space saving parked position.

Your 30x70 bench along one of the walls is no big deal.

You mention things like a lunch box planer, and SCMS, I mentioned the mount board thing in my last post.

The idea is to store the tools out of the way when not in use, but have them so they can be clamped to a bench top quickly, hooked up, used, taken down, and put back up quickly and easily.



You can see I used otherwise dead space around the dust collector to house my air compressor, and hose. I lifted the DC instead of the compressor as I needed the inlet of the DC higher to eliminate bends in the DC lines.



I wish I had a more up to date photo of this setup. My clamp rack has a simple shelf mounted over it, where I store my safety equipment and box of rags. A total of 3 39 drawer small parts bins occupy the space to the left and they are jammed with, well small parts and consumables. Measuring equipment and misc router bits are stored on the shelf created by the tops of the small parts bins. Over those bins is a 6' long shelf made from plywood and closet shelf brackets. All of my handheld power tools except my routers are stored here. The space underneath this all holds a couple of heavy duty ladder hanger hooks that support my steel folding sawhorses.



And lastly, you can see how I used otherwise dead space above, and behind the drill press to store extension cords, drill bits, and drilling jigs.



Even the back of the entry door to the house is used to store the first aid kit.

While my setup isn't exactly ideal for a 12x16 shed, this should give you ample ideas for how to maximize your available space. Think in 3 dimensions and you have it licked!
