I think you should have gone for two (or more) stories with a hinged dome roof and a hoist

, although it looks like the dome isn't really intended to open.
My wife is also a weaver and spinner (why we ended up with sheep for nearly 30 years) from a family of weavers and spinners, although she's been essential
ly inactive since our first kid, now a 35 year old mom, decided they were climbing toys. Mrs. Moose's oldest sister is a very active weaver with her own dedicated weaving room and an impressiv
e collectio
n of yarn and thread for it.
The Mooselake Manor South's undersize
d garage shop just gained a
Jet 1221SP wood lathe, although it turned out to be too high for the workbench (way taller than the 10x15s at the turners club) and will require an expeditio
n to the lumber store to build a new stand. No bandsaw here either, and any more additions may require their own
ceiling suspensio ns. It joined a little
3018 CNC router whose second test cut was an eccentric Gearotic gear in cardboard (first real project was a plaque with Mrs. Moose's name) that should be suitable for milling PCBs along with wooden gears. The managemen
t has cautioned that the shop stocking spree is coming to an end.
Hope you find time before Christmas
