Thanks for the info John. I really appreciate the pictures as I am a visual learner.....I can read some explanation of something and have a visual that is not what was intended. Couple of questions. I'm thinking about using one of those rotating displays like you see in stores and rigging up a solid way of putting my lathe tools(gouges, scrapers, carbides, etc.) on it so I can have them at hand but can also move them around when needed. Any pros and cons to that idea? I also notice that you store your tools horizontally on the wall.....any particular reason of just personal preference?
I'm definitely considering combining windows so that I have more wall space ....but enough window space. I love the skylight idea but the screen porch addition will be above that portion of shop roof. Maybe some transom type windows would add light and only take up a little "High Wall Space".
I'm really trying to plan this as much as possible so I don't have many regrets later.
Jim
