This sounds really cool, having a dedicated space is a must when you get into any type of scale production. My number one advice would be to severely limit how many projects you have going at a time so you don’t end up with a bunch of half- 3/4th done things.

If you do chop a finger off, duck tape it back on. My grampa cut through all but the skin of one pinkie, duck taped it back on and went to hospital, and they were able to save it by sewing it back on.

It took me a decade to figure out how to find the space and build what I wanted. Bottomed out interest rates in COVID made me pull the trigger and take some time off to make it happen.

Yeah - too many projects leads to disarray.

Damn - good to hear that I guess. My contractor bud said the same thing lol. I was never that concerned until I had the planer height set a bit too high and it shot out a 6ft oak board into my hip. Couldn’t even stand up for an hour. Put the danger in a bit more perspective.

Glad that you’re alright, woodworking is a great craft. Always be sure to value your work higher than you actually do, because as time goes on less and less people know how to do it, and humility may be a virtue, but money keeps the lights on.
