It appears we all have different definitions of "crowded." :whistle:
My workshop is an old 50' reefer trailer, so most of my stuff will get lined up along one wall. There's a place or two it gets a little crowded for the moment, as in turn sideways to slide between the huge stack of totes and the metal shelving on the other side of the trailer, but I'm slowly getting it all cleaned out. Got a bunch of free pallets from work, so I'll be able to build an elevated crib outside the shop for the stuff that doesn't care about the weather, but I want to keep off the ground. Also contemplating building a little free-standing shed outside of the shop to hold the big vertical air compressor. It'll keep the noise outside, too.
Sandia, your shop isn't crowded. I can still see bare concrete, walls behind the machines, and enough room to run a handtruck between everything. I think you need another mill, two more lathes, a surface grinder, and a big Cincinnati shaper to help tighten that place up.
Other than the forlorn looking empty spaces between the machines, it's an awesome looking shop. But what's the use of a concrete floor if it isn't holding up a machine?
