My new storage space, which as yet is full of nesting boxes, roosting perches and pine shavings, is probably 8’x 16’ x 7’ tall. Plenty of space to store sheet metal.

My wood shop was already choc-a-block with machines, before I decided I probably had enough room to dismantle and work on a truck. I had a small area for assembly and working on projects, which is now filled with a truck.

I started building an extension dining table yesterday and had to move my truck frame to get my pallet jack out, so I could move a shaper to get at my wood inventory. I also had to move my clamp dolly, and a couple of stacks of bee hive boxes to access the shaper, so I could access my wood. Fun, right? No wonder my wife thinks this whole thing is crazy. She wants a couple more pieces of furniture and my “shop is filled with that stupid truck?” I need another garage.
