   Hi Gerald
   Hey you can do a lot in a 1200 square foot shop.  I cleaned up they  
other day so the pictures look good.I've have been in a year long  
reorganization/efficiency mode. Or as they say in pre- school. Clean  
up.. clean up ...put away. Ans so the battle against shop clutter  goes
     SO just looking at what's here may give you some ideas of what  
you can get in 1200 square ft. I love this shop. It has heat, air,  
great lighting & plenty of electricity. Both 220 & 110. It has four  
sky lights & I can't say enough good about that decision. This is my  
wood working area but can use it for many things.  My entire layout is  
3000 ft & four seperate rooms.  It works really well but for most of  
my life I worked in a 1000 square ft.or less. We can work well on a  
bout 4 pianos at a time in the 1200 square ft piece. The action fore  
finish area is only about 600 ft Which is  where they go when the saw  
dust clears.
   The dust collector is not in the room but behind a wall & not  
hooked up as of yet.
   Write privately if you wish
