But I consider us lucky. We have a room and a sort of storage room in our school to use as our own. The main room is for fabrication, and storage area contains our shop. We currently have a grinder, two drill presses(one broken), two bandsaws (one needs some work), a cutoff saw, and some tools that are currently configured for woodworking such as belt grinders with sanding belts on them right now.
But overall I suppose we have it better then many teams, especially because we are able to work right at school and so have easy access to the room at most times.
