I should point out that though I am now overcrowded in a storage/shop situation that is only semi-workable, and rather seasonal at that, it wasn't always this way.

I once had this shop available to me:

.... and add to this a cut-off bandsaw, power shears with 4' throat, 8' bending brake, arc & gas welding rigs along with a few other odds and ends that could be very useful.

Of course I mostly worked in that shop, "on the clock", so had to come in after hours to make personal use of it, which didn't happen as much as I might have wished. But I did use it some. The problem being, if I was there and something needed fixing (pretty much a constant), or the boss had some new hair-brained (often brilliant too) scheme he wanted built or modified, then I'd get the call whether on the clock or not!

Did build some amazing things there, but the last thing I did on that job, was take delivery of my Grizzly G0704 mill on the loading dock.    ;c)
