[TheForge] Shop size

[Ron Childers]

Kent,

You can't ever have too big a shop- Make it as big as the law, wife, wallet
or space will permit, and higher than you think you will need. Isolate it
from the horses- someone left the door open and the cows got in my shop and
really made a mess. Also, while I was working in S America, my (now ex) wife
thought my daddy's old forge would make a dandy stand for the horses'
mineral block. Even if it's a "pole barn" clean, lay it out, and level it
before you dig the first hole. Visit some other shops and see how a large
building can fill up. Also, don't get too rambunctious before your hand
heals- do as I say, not as I did...

No more biodiesel...

I have about 3-4 weeks of downtime due to the hand surgery, so I'd like to
hear some suggestions on how big to build my shop. The only condition is
that it will be combined with a horse barn, but that won't be too much of a
problem.
