I know how you feel our club inherited a workshop , Wednesday I cleaned and installed a Raglan Little John that hadn't been used for over ten years , took four of us to lift it onto its bench all 3 1\2 hundred weight of it . |

Steve At my last place I had a garage, an extension to the garage, a building at the far end of the garden, a concrete sectional garage I added to that building, then a shed tacked onto that. So I know where you are coming from! One of my motivators for moving was to get enough space to get it all under one roof. Now I have the main workshop with two wings. One is for welding and other dirty tasks and is I unheated, the other is Yorkshire boarded ie gapped boards for storing mowers rollers etc and doubles as a lambing shed in the spring. Across the yard I have a well insulated but unheated woodwork shop. In all there is just under 4000 sq foot and yet it still gets overfull! Good luck with the rest of the sort out Andrew |

Steve, Beware of Rust!! If the propane heater is unvented it will be a moisture generator and your machines become water magnets. Ask me how I know!! The wood stove, being vented and dumping the combustion by-products outside, will not cause your machines to sweat as badly. Joe |

Absolutely right about the propane heater problem Joe! Forgot about that. I actually haven't used the heater in years. Well woodstove only it is. |

I think you're doing the right thing, I have fought an uphill battle with gathering clutter for the last few years and now I'm finally winning. This year I have really gone to town on it, getting rid of mostly anything I haven't used in the last two years. I figure if it's material, I probably won't remember I have it and if it's a tool I never used I probably never will. I also just bought three 15-drawer Bisley cabinets that fit perfectly under my bench. That's 45 separate a4-sized drawers at 2" deep. Got my granddaughter cutting labels for them this weekend. The main aim is to get rid of all the parts bins I have lining the walls which have stuff in them I can't even see mostly. Once I'm sorted out I think my workshop will be a much nicer place to work. |
