Hey everybody
This is my first post but I have been reading your comments for some time.
My name is Rick and I'm a sheet metal fabricator by trade (30 years) and a weekend woodworker for enjoyment. Basically I've just been making frames for my stained glass projects and a few small tables and the like. I've decided to build a bigger shop in the back yard and I would like some input from the professionals on what to do and more important what NOT to do.
I have enough space for about a 24'x24' or 20'x30' bldg.
I'm planning on a metal 2 car garage with 7' walls and a gable style roof with 2 roll-up doors. I'm leaning toward a slab foundation with 2x4 sleepers and a 3/4" plywood floor. I need help with dust collection, shop layout and anything else you can think of. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for all your help , Rick.
