   * Wall behind the current wooden metalshop bench has a removable lower panel for access to the laser room.

+  * Lathe positioned with access to feet, 30cm to the right to allow for maintenance, 50-60cm to the left to allow for access to the gears and for long workpieces, 60cm behind to allow space for a coolant system. 80cm working area in front.
+  * We need to ensure there is access to the extractor fan connected to the Laser Cutter.

 === Questions ===
+  - Grinding. There is a wide range of use-cases to consider. Some may have stricter contraints (ventilation, hotworks area) than others.
+    * Hand tools. Under consideration.
+    * Tool sharpening. TBD
+    * 'Sword-making'. Hotworks area only.
+  - Extraction for Lathe and (proposed) Mill. Intensive operations using cutting oil or coolant may create a lot of fumes. Do we need to plan for an extraction system?
