Mike Linn - You didn't say how big your shop is.  Been reading all the notes
about how to build a "shop" or "forge."  To me the "forge" is the place where
I keep my fire.  The building may be called a shop, but I use the old
fashioned name of "Smithy."  That doesn't mean that you need to do the same,
but I hope you understand when I say that I am planning to enclose some of
my "backyard Smithy" since it does get cold/windy/wet/hot here in western
Oregon.  
  Keep the good info flowing guys and gals.
