LEss than 100?

Post by derekdarling »

I have a storage shed, about 3' deep, by 15' wide, by 9'high, with double 3' doors in the middle of the lang side. My 10ER fits in one end, and the Mark V in the other. The bandsaw on its rollers fits in the middle. Other items live on shelves above. Working means rolling both machines out under the carport to form two 'walls', and the folding table for the third side. The bench grinder on its shelf is my sharpening station. Once I'm done, everything rolls away again and locks up. I polled 100Sq.Ft, only because there wasn't a '45 Sq. Ft. category.

Cheers!

10ERs, other stuff, you know.
