: Hey all,

: I'm looking for a place to build this winter, and found a couple
: locations that are will to rent portion of a larger area to me.
: The obvious question they are coming back with is, "How
: much space do you need?"

: I'll be building a 16-18' boat, so I assume at least 20' in one
: direction, and probably 6-10' in the other, but I figured I'd
: better ask first. Strips will be ripped in a different location,
: so I will not need to store a table saw, bandsaw, etc. It'll
: just be the strongback, strips, and tools.

: Any ideas?

I am currently building a guillemot 17 and the space I have is a smaller space in a bigger shop. My space is 20' x 6' , this space is working out well the only thing is that I have developed a favorite side to work on as one side is against a wall but that is where I put my tools so it is good.

I would say this size is as small as I could go in a perfect world I would have 22' x 10'

Hope this helps
