Not embarrassed Jim, just awfully cramped. It is, or was, a 
two car garage. In addition to workbenches, two band saws, a 
table saw, planer, shelves, cabinets, soundboard dryer box, 
furnace, flocks of tools and jigs, and the woodpile that 
devoured Hoboken, I had two Ds and a B in there at the same 
time last summer. Looked like I was raising Angus bulls in a 
shoe box.
