For 13 years it's been my only source of income.
And yes, I can. P-bass and J-bass

On the issues of wasted space and stacking.. the new shop has very low ceiling. I'd guess under 8 feet. No much "up" to go there at all.
On wasted space, some tools must be kept well apart from each other. Bandsaws, belt sanders, and bench grinders need to be as far away as possible from wax vats, magnets, and magnet chargers...or else bad things happen. And the magnet charger nedds to be as far away from the coil winder as possible. I figure right now, it's at least 12 feet away. My monitor turns colors when I use it...It loves to attract metal parts that are too close...including metal dust and shavings. I'm really paranoid about it knocking out the winder's operating system...

I'll head over to the new place in a bit and take some pictures to show you guys what I'll be dealing with....
