Skylights are an excellent idea. I have four in a 12x16 tack room in a barn
with no electricity. Along with three windows, between can and can't they
provide more than enough light for almost anything.

Maybe skylights would give you the light you want and save your wall space.

Thanks all, great information.
I'm debating 10x16. I'm trying to keep a reasonable amount of space
clear in the center of the room for finishing and wargaming. The roll
around equipment will be perfect. A scrap box is going into the
layout also. The big debate is windows or wall space I'm thinking a
nice tool chest the same height as the bench and a few feet away
from it would work out nicely for rarely used tools and allow more
window space.. I have to save some space in the rafters for SWMBO's
holiday decorations.
This is not going to be a metal shed. I am thinking concrete block
rests for you basic sled shed. I'm also trying to figure out enough
windows while still having a climbing wall on the back side. I can
see asymmetry is going to be needed while still making it look good.
SWMBO is impatient and just wants it done. I want a work area I will
be happy with. Bits like the climbing wall will work in my favor. :)
I'll do pictures and post them. First stop is a permit.
