178474 "Roger Books" <roger.books@g...> 2008‑03‑24 intro & shop question
My name Roger and I have a problem...:)

I was on this list a few years ago, a few being 15 or so IIRC.  Being
no longer single the need for alone time and making things has
resurfaced, things other than software anyway.   I want to break out
my meager collection of tools vintage #5, #7, #4 with a crack in it's
sole and start making furniture again.  Oh, and coming up with a
justification to go way beyond my means and buy a  Holtey A6, gotta
have an infill.   Dreaming is good.

My problem is I don't have a shop.  It looks like a multipurpose shop
in the backyard,  a shed, will be it.  It will need a workbench, a
lathe, a drlll press (for metal only) and a desk.  Does this sound
like too much to  put in a 10x14 shed?  Any advice on small work area
is appreciated.

I'm in Tallahassee Florida.  I'm considering AC for my shop but I'm
concerned the swings in humidity will make life difficult.

Thanks all

Roger
