: Nice work, Malcolm.
: On shop size. It depends on your definition of big. My 'shop' is a
: converted garage, 23' x 13' that was made into a temproary
: apartment so it doesn't have all the floorspace available in
: width. The clear space is still 23' long but is 8' wide in the
: middle section.
: For Ireland, a shop is necessary given that we can get four seasons
: in a day, weatherwise. :D Particularly if using powered tools.

While you most certainly don't need a big shop, a big shop is nice. My current one, "still" under construction will be 50' long and varies from 13' to 18' wide, nice space for building kayaks :)
