New shop will be 48x96, or 4465 sq/ft. I know it'll be too small in a matter of months, the hope is to move the offices/showroom to an addition to free up some space within the shop walls, then add another 10k sq/ft after that. I'm not sure if thats a five year, or ten year plan.
Current shop is ~40x40, its like working in a phone booth. Packing two tablesaws, clamp rack, faceframe table, edgesander, Castle machine, jointer, planer, widebelt, dovetailer, linebore, three shapers, and a partridge in pear tree, doesn't leave much room for staging.
Slightly different scenario, I know.
Right now there is at least 5 shapers close to me, plus a couple of tablesaws that I would buy if I had somewhere to put them.
