Reply:A 40' X 60" shop for all of my woodworking equipment and room to complete my machine & fab shop.  It really sucks working out of a packed garage and a few storage sheds.1/3 wood shop, 1/3 third fab shop, 1/3 machine shop under 15' mezzenine for misc storage & supplies.  15' wide roll up door, concrete floors and concrete outdoor work pad.  Outside, attached awning & concrete pad for RV.Then, I'd be happy Hobart 140 Handler w/ gasHyperTherm Powermax 380 Plasmaoxy/acetylene

I could list more, but not enough bandwidth.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
Reply:Tozz - the company I do some work for just got rid of a HUGE 3 phase shear, probably 10 or 12 foot with 14 or 12 gauge capacity. They asked if I wanted it for $500. I said yes but no I don't have room for it. I did buy some other BIG goodies. :stealth:John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com
