Optimizing shop space
My wife made fun of me but I thought I would share what I just did anyway. I have a decent size garage but it still small for the junk I have in it about 890 sq ft . I have been collecting fabrication machinery and equipment over the last couple years and now it's time to set it all up.
I spent some time taking accurate measurements of the shop, lift and every shelf and piece of equipment I have. I then went inside and on poster board draw a scale drawing of the garage and lift. Now hear comes the part my wife was laughing at. I drew a car to scale and made squares and rectangles to scale of floor space needed for each item. I labled all the shapes and set inside the shop. I moved things around 4-5 times to get the best possible use of my space.
Moving around a piece of paper sure beat moving a 2500 lb press brake 4 times
