Hello folks/experts,
I am preparing to begin building my shop and I need some advise on equipment that I am considering. My plans include a two bay stations with one having a lift, paint booth, and small office area. I was also considering a small machine shop with wire, heli arch welder, drill press and engine hoist. Also, I will need a air compressor.
So, does anyone have a preference on what type and make of paint booth (cross flow, semi downdraft or downdraft), brand of welder, air compressor capacity and brand (is a dryer needed?), and is a heater for the paint booth a requirement?. Any other advise?
My plans include one other person other than myself. If I can fine a good farm hand that want to learn a trade. Why a farm hand? A good farm hand already knows how to work and works without being managed.
