if possible an other work sub forum could be a huge draw for persons who have essentially per-say a non tool project. OK shops are actually tools many may not consider them as tools but if they have ever had to work outside in the rain or snow or blazing heat they soon realize just how important a tool a simple lean-to or a tent or a room within their house become a very important tool. the interiors of same are tools as well a closet is "what?", it is a volume of enclosed space where things are stored or the space could be used as a dark room or a controlled environmental testing faciality or a hose of other things. A mezzanine normally thought of as a mere addition of storage space. However I built a pre engineered building once where I installed over 50 tons of extrusion and injection molding equipment. Even mounted one machine on the roof of the building because I required a machine to make 10 meter long roll formed extrusions. Rather than doing this in the horizontal plane requiring an elaborately precise run off table with guides or conveyor rollers I chose to modify the machine to operate in the vertical plane since the roof was 16 meters above the ground floor and the mezzanine was 8 meters this allowed me to construct a machine at the edge which would grasp the product then rotate it to horizontal and lower it to an awaiting transport preventing damage to the finished product net floor area savings of more than a dozen sq meters when the elevating rotator was in the at reast position it merely hung off the edge of the mezzanine and was locked in place by one end by the structure of the roof.
