Nice shop where does everyone come up with so much room?
I say, find a space and fill it! As long as I do not trip over things and have to turn sideways to squeeze through between things, life is good; when I sold my machine shop business of 35 years to retire, my buyer said he did not want to buy certain machines, I had either to leave them there, unpaid, and be junked, likely, I brought most of them home, including a 19" Regal Leblond lathe, a 20-24 Gould & Eberhardt universal shaper, a Pratt & Whitney vertical shaper, automatic gear cutter, #1 Norton cutter grinder, #2 Brown & Sharpe universal mill, in addition to the 6X6 Peerless hacksaw, #2 B&S surface grinder, 21" upright drill, delta sensitive drill, Fray vertical mill, and oh, so much more! Also have woodworking and blacksmith shops; probably more floor space than the residence.Thanks for all the replies. I like to stay organized, but lately I haven't been working on too many projects.
I prefer the open space in case I need to pull my truck in for work, and in the spring/fall I bring the snowmobiles in to work on them. The space looks big in the pictures, but it's only an 18' x 20' space.
Nice workshop Machinehead:

Router bits that are carbide tipped would be sharpened with diamond, but not HSS bits, which can be sharpened with either conventional grinding wheels or CBN (cubic boron nitride). The carbon inThat's the same one I have. I'll be sure to get some more pictures of mine up later on today.
