PICTURES -- Moving to my new shop

I have not decided what to do with the roof, yet.

No, tool and cutter grinding shop.

Yep. A couple Mitutoyo comparators.

No, a CNC tool and cutter grinding that was described as "broke".

Give us a thumbnail of your business plan and a mission statement.

Well, you will have a BIG air compressor. Buy him a vintage Nathan 7 chime locomotive horn. I love the sound of those things a couple of miles off.

I want to sell surplus equipment at a greater scale. That's all.

Would there be a tax advantage (or disadvantage) to doing manufacturing at that location?

Close off the section you want to use with a full height wall, then rent out the front section to pay all your costs. Put 9' ceilings in your shop area and a nice heat pump for conditioning. Yearround shop!

OK. I saw the Universal Grinding sign on the building pics later.

You'll have the original price of the real estate back by the time you sell all those tools you won't be using.

I know what you'll be doing for Thanksgiving. ;)

No, and I have no talents in manufacturing. Going into manufacturing would be a great way to lose a lot of money and acquire a lot of valuable life experience.

I actually really like the high ceilings (though I need to do something about low hanging lights).

I wish.

I think, I know, too

That doubles your area, so HVAC costs double. Your call. If anything, I'd reserve a tall room for tall projects and drop the rest for comfort and savings. But it's not my shop.

That and renting out the front 2/3, eh?

Who was the brunette in the second pic, in front of the building as reflected in the window? Isn't your wife a gorgeous blonde?

I want to run it as a crude, but effective money making machine. HVAC expenses will be about running fans.

It was someone else's wife.

Depends on what you manufacture.

Best Regards Tom.

Yeah, if you want to roll your gantry hoist around without breaking bulbs.

Lift the lights and paint the entire inside pure white, from floor to ceiling. It will effectively double the lighting. A few upside-down and reflectorless fixtures will illuminate the white ceiling and reflect it back down.

Oh, I guess not if you're using it to store/show/sell surplus.

Borrowed for the day, eh?

I thought that it was an oversized bidet. :-)

Is that 240V three phase? I consider it pretty likely, but you didn't say.

Enjoy, DoN.

Of course it is 3 phase.

...

If iggy's doing that, he won't own his shop for long.

It was the seller's wife.

Even worse!

COOL! I'm green with envy. I have been scrapping some old gear I stopped using years ago to get more room. But, there are great advantages in having my shop at home, and not having stuff here, there and someplace else, too.

This is also very true and a great consideration.
