I couldn't fit a saw with an iron base cabinet in my "shop", which is a section of the garage that we've never parked cars in since we moved here. The cabinet I'm building is going to be on wheels so I can move it into position to cut wood. I only do precise cutting with it, and use circular saws and such on bigger stuff that I can't even bring in the garage to cut when it is full size. It sucks.
However big you build your shop - it always needs t o b e bigger.....

My main shop is 30 x 50 ft.
It should have been 50 x 100...
'struth, because if I could get the space I'd put my 26 foot long travel in it out of the weather when I'm not using it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Yup. 9 fully driveable cars.

I don' t know how it could be.
Once you discover something, you're done.
You found it.
You can't keep discovering it...

My daughter and I are building a lego city.
We have a police station, fire station, hospital, castle with moat, airport and plane, roads and railway line.
Now we are building a train with a shed, then we're looking at houses, parks and a river.

Working a 9 to 5 is bullshit. I'll figure out a business to run one of these days. Would rather work 80 hours a week for myself than 40 to make someone else rich.
That being said, I don't have time for a whole lot outside of work, jiu-jitsu, reading, writing, fishing, studying languages. Having projects is so far outside of anything I'm thinking about right now, lol

Come this November I will have worked 28 years in nursing. Before that I worked as a cook for 15 years. I have kept cooking as a hobby. One of my current cooking projects is maintaining two sourdough cultures and trying to master sourdough breads. I have two cultures , I call them Thing One and Thing Two. Thing One is whole wheat and the Thing Two organic white flour. For a long time Thing One out performed Thing Two both in microbial activity and flavor. This year the white flour culture has taken the lead. It rises 1/3 faster than the whole grain and the flavor is far more complex. Think a cross between yeasted bread and Greek yogurt. The whole grain is also very good. I have invested in proofing baskets, lames, oven stones, Dutch ovens, a digital kitchen scale, books. Once I retire, I will move somewhere which has more options available to create more cultures. Rye, spelt, etc. I made sourdough biscuits on Wednesday. My team mates enjoyed them. I hope to cook sourdough breads for a small bistro after I retire.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Well - that didn't work....
I just spent 2 days building a charcoal heater for my hunting blind. Based on a 2 foot section of 3 inch square tubing. Think of the smallest wood burning stove you ever saw. - then stretch it upwards.
It actually did work in testing. The upper part got up to 450f. Hot enough you could see heat distortion near the surface. The airflow was sufficient - as the charcoal burned completly.
Problem - the airflow out the chimney -1 1/4 inch water pipe - drew the heat away from the top - which never exceeded 200f.
Which means my percolating coffee pot won't work on it. FAIL.
I' ll go get some 5 inch square tubing - and build the V 2.0....
That's why they're prototypes.
