My wife suggested that I put some racking out in the basement rec room next to my workshop and move my wood there from my workshop, so I will have more room.
Beat that for a gloat!
Anyhow, I have all the tools I want, though some of them are smaller than I would like, as the workshop is pretty tightly packed now and I have always bought small tool to get them to fit. I have about 250sf now, and the added room will be maybe 20sf. Everything is on mobil bases now, I expect everything (except the lathe) would have to remain that way.
I could upgrade my lunchbox planer for a 15", replace my 6" jointer with a 8", get a 22/44 sander instead of my 16/32, or move my lathe in from the garage (fine in the summer, but useless in the winter). All are desirable, but I only have room for 1 or 2. Well reasoned opinions?
Since the work I do obviously affect what I need, my work is at http://wood.lippman.info/
