    Lots of nice tools, but way too crowded for my taste.

      Don't we have a guy on here who has a shop about that large but not as crowded with equipment. With a telescope and observatory too I believe.
      I cannot remember which user it is.

        Here's how I know I've been thinking about woodworking too much: on the way to my mom's house I pass the now-closed Fenton Chrysler plant. It has a sign that says something like "For Sale: 3 million sq. ft. under one roof." My first thought was "Wow, that would make a great shop." LOML threatened to kill me, chop me into pieces, bury the pieces, dig them up, sew them back together then kill me all over again.

          Video of his shop. Cameraman could use steadier hands.

          I reject your reality and substitute my own.

            I'm too forgetful for a shop like that - couldn' t remember where the table saw is at.

              My shop is quite a bit larger (40x60) but looks empty compared to this one. I never seen so many tools in my life. I used to say that one could never have too many tools, but now I take that back.



              By the way, my shop is for sale as we are soon moving to New Mexico. Now it's fun time as I get to design and build a totally new place…

                Does this guy make anything of note. Or does he just spend his "Golden Years" counting his bounty.

                I mean that's overkill, no doubt.
