Great start in breaking the ice R'Gi...

On first sight it looks cluttered, yet well organised... mine seems bigger yet totally disorganised in comparisson. 
In one way I envy your metal working nook, but on the other hand I just hate metal swarf in the workshop.

Where'd you get you Shaper project inspirations... have mine since Jan, yet to make my first actual cut. When I started wating one, I had a 1,000 uses planned, but in the 6 years waiting, followed by an impulse buy when available, that well has dried up.
I have my laser and 3D printer up in the house... would hate to try and fit into the workshop... though they would make extra bench-top space for more junk.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
