The new work space would be 12 x 20.

That’s the size of my shop. Yes, I would like more room, but that’s always the case no matter what size shop you have. If you keep it organized and have places to put things out of the way that size can be very functional.

I thought your shop might be that size. Right now it…[Read more]

Long time no see
