Re: Space... "Is it a working shop Y/N": As he was primarily doing tiny work, honestly you may only need the space to stand in one spot in front of each machine to do work. He's apparently not working on huge blanks, things with dangling parts, or raw stock fed into a machine by tripod rollers (like some of us... :-) HOWEVER, to make it a "true workspace" you DO need at least ONE clear assembly worktable/desk SOMEWHERE, to sort parts and do final assembly. (As well as storage for raw parts & unused jigs inventory.) As the video was mainly focusing on the machinery, they may not have show everything. Now if he IS missing that, then yes I'd agree it's more of a tool hoard than a true workspace. (But an envious hoard!... ;-) In my case, to optimize space (other than big fixed items that mustn't flex) I've been slowly working on mounting each smaller machine on its own movable base. Eventually it'll allow dynamic workspace reconfiguration, per project need. Once done, I can easily shuffle the shop around, and roll the unneeded equipment WAY out of the way, to a designated area. (I've also made my parts shelving edge-on, with side-side wheels, to shift them. This makes "one" "opening space", maximizing my storage wall as well. :-) But in that video, I didn't see any mobility.. I have to give him kudos on the sheer density of equipment (IOW to maximize his abilities) in a fixed space, but I too am curious how a true workday would be executed. Good points all. - Keith Mc. --- "Marble buildings are OK, but they tend to roll away..." ---------------------------- On 2024-09-02 3:56 pm, Brian Cayer wrote:
