Upper right hand corner is a button to switch to "modern view". Much better. You get posts in chronological order. Wish they would get rid of classic view, but it's their site, they can do as they wish.

Neighbor is a small-scale machinist. He farms full time, and does machining on the side. He doesn't have machines anywhere close to the size you mentioned. His 40 by 40 shop has a 14' sidewall, and 99% of the time that is adequate. The other 1%, he wished he had built 16 or 18 feet. But here's what he did - 25% of the shop is two story - first story is crammed with machining tools, second story is crammed with woodworking tools. He also half buried it into a south hillside. The north and east walls are concrete for about 9 feet. That'll help alot for heating

I will say this - starting out, you may not want to got whole hog. Build the business, not the building. Starting out with a half million dollar debt is a sure way to make you struggle. 10 years from now, you may find that you don't enjoy machining as much as you do now. Having a crushing debt load makes that more likely because you'll blame the business for your struggles. It doesn't sound like you're doing this, but just keep it in mind.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
