| + | * Welding in an area where there is no chance anyone will accidentally enter. The current layout is not ideal. | ||
| + | * Grinding should be available even when welding is being done | ||
| + | * Lathe in a position where workpieces that protrude a long way out of the left side will not cause a hazzard | ||
| + | * Group machines that are commonly used together | ||
| + | * Separate dirty and/or noisy machines from cleaner/ | ||
| + | * Workbenches in the centre of the room (following the woodshop layout) | ||
| - | There is a strong opinion that this is a metalshop and not a garage. Although some tools are provided for working on bicycles and motor vehicles, the intention is that any work is done outside. | ||

| + | === Questions === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The area by the roller shutter is generally less warm tha other areas. Does this make it unsuitable for operations such as CNC which involves a lot of sitting and watching? | ||
| + | * The roller shutter is the only entrance for large objects, but how large? | ||
| + | === Floorplan === | ||
| + | Several options. So far the only complete proposal is: | ||
| + | [[https:// | ||
| + | Other possibilities: | ||
| + | - Move the welding area to the far end of the old woodshop, making use of the extractor. | ||
