Hi I think most of it's been covered i wouldn't store your collection in the shop either. My shop has a couple tractors a combine and Baler in it most of the year It's taking up way to much space, The shops 50x50 and if I doubled it I'd still fill the space. I have to watch sparks on windshields and stuff like that pretty often depending where i'm working.Dust generated is a big problem to while working on certain things.

I would also say lots of benches with cupboards under them or tall shelved cupboards. My parents have this annoying habit of smaller useful stuff making a mess in the garage, so they clean the garage and then proceed to haul this mess in the shop. It gets dumped on the first bench they find( just inside the Door!), Then there is not enough storage to put it,when the shops a mess.

The World will end if this junk disappears in the scrap, I tried that once when I got mad about it. This winter I got to get nice 3/4" ply sheets and build 4 more 8ft benches with cupboards under to store this junk,and put nice easy to clean steel tops on to. They say junk expands to every available space. It does in this house I'm sure the fairies bring truck loads every night. Or Dads friends donate it to him when they retire. I got about 10 boxes of part used sickle sections and rivets that nobody will ever use he hauled home plus tons of other obsolete stuff. This guys got another truck load yet dads thinking of bringing home to, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
The other thing is costs and building codes are starting to get tough in certain areas. There are a few guys round here had to downsize shop plans considerably when the found out there plan was going to cost $175.000. They still ended up with 60 to $80.000 in the smaller shops they built by the time they turned the key in the lock the first day it was finished.

Regards Robert
