Re: Financial help? Work space?

Hi Alex,
Space is always a problem, a couple years ago we lost a donated work shop and had to scramble. the school had no unused rooms, (during the day)
We ended up buying a 20' con ex (shipping container) and putting it in a back parking lot near the weld shop.
Every day after school we rolled out 2 lathes and a drill mill plus 2 carts and a bench with the robot. at the end of the night we would roll it all back out and clean up. Used up about 1 hr a day

The next year one of our sponsors let us use a two car garage for 4 months
(much Better!) over build season. we had to supply our own port-a-john
and wash station but it worked out well.

Last year the local college came thru and gave us an area we can call our own.

This may not be much more then an idea or two, but it was our solutions to the problem of build space and they did work.

Where ever you end up don't forget the First aide cabinet and fire extinguishers, setup a safety station early

Have Fun!
Geo.
