Forgot to say: I keep it home based because I can work whenever I want to. I frequently go wind coils during commercials. Before bed. After dinner. Before dinner. During dinner. Whenever I feel like it. I also tinker a lot making prototypes and experimenting, pre-work, you name it. Although it's a "job"....for me, it's not a job. It's something I really love to do. I'd probably go crazy havign it away from home.




Ok, I went over and cleaned out as much as I could from the new shop space.

Here's what I have to work with


Looking at what will become the assembly desk, from the opposite corner. Parts drawers will have to live underneath

Lookign at a furnace which I wish could go away. Winding desk will have to fit to the left.

Shelves where the wire and other parts will have to live. And a door to the worlds smallest garage. Completed orders will also have to go here.


Door to the right of the winding desk. It leads outside.






Sooo... no place to put:
Bandsaw. Belt Sander. Bench Grinder. Drill press. Tapper. Hot Plate/Wax Vat. Metal rack for parts (could go in the garage) Hot-Box for laquoring fibre assemblies.... Unfortunately, the garage appears to be DEAD as far as power is concerned.
We draw a *lot* of current and frequently blow the box in the shop I've been in.
I counted three outlets. We need several more.

12x12. Ceiling is 8 feet.

So I really need some ideas here that will work. Efficiently.
