Space needed for a shop???
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:44 pm
So at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, say 1-2 years, I am looking at finally moving the "shop" from the house to either part of a garage or one of those pre-fab shed type buildings in the back yard. I will also be upgrading equipment, not sure what yet but the usual stuff:
6 color 4 station press minimum
conveyor dryer, probably not the "compact" version but likely electric and not a really huge one
Flash Dryer (have a BBC 16x16)
Heat Press (have 16x20)
Shelving and storage for supplies/ink/screens, etc
Washout booth (I can probably just put this on the outside if we do the shed, but will be indoors if we build a garage)
Anything I am forgetting???
So what kind of space should I be looking at? Making the most of a smaller space is likely what I will need to do, thinking 10'x12' or so, or is that too small? I do not plan to have any big extra space for anything specific since I do not bring clients to my place. most of my business has been online and via e-mail and I expect it to continue that way.
