Dear Folks
I am new to the Wood Working Forums, and this one specifically (This is just my 2nd visit to them) completely blown away by it, the scope and scale, breath and depth is truly inspiring. Congrats to the person (people) who concieved it and keep it running.
I imagine i will be devoting way too much time to exploring it.
I am also relatively new to woodworking, although i have held a long unsatisfied desire, over many years, to own and operate my own woodshop. Finally this little destination is on the horizon, and i am sailing toward it with full speed. I hope to buy a small house
in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne by this time next year, the size of the land it sits on is inconsequential to me, except for its ability to accommodate the construction of a practical, dream woodshop.
My budget for construction is between $30 K - $40 K (at a push). This will be a new structure 'built form scratch'.
I hope to incorporate as many practical and functional design elements, as possible on my budget, to make it a joy and pleasure to work in. Also i hope to somehow make this a profitable business venture down the track, and not just an expensive hobby. I realize this may be
a bit of a dream, but to borrow a line from one of my favourite movies "The Shawshank Redemption" , Hope is a good thing, probably the best of things.
So if anybody in this forum, can offer any suggestions as to layout, setup, type of machinery (i already have a range of static woodworking machines in storage at my current home now) or any other factors i should consider to make this shop practical, easy to use and joy to work in i would greatly appreciate. All suggestions are welcome, at this stage, (especially the funny ones), this is the culmination of a life long dream, ( i am 57 years old and been dreaming about for a longtime). it is something i would like to get right or at least substantially so the first time. As a first timer my experience is to state the obvious limited. My desire to learn, particularly from those who know, from 'hard won experience', is strong.
Any suggestions, will be gratefully and humbly accepted.
Cheers Woodsy15
