Thanks again guys and something you might not be aware of is that I make all those bowls (around 350 now) in a floor space of just over 90 square feet inside a 10 x 10 shop .
A few days ago I made my second video since building that micro shop and posted it on my Woodworking Friends site. Then I figured some of you here might also be interested in seeing it so here it is .

Hey Bill,
Looks pretty well organized... my first shop in Houston was a 9 x 10 garden shed in the back yard... I had two work benches, a 14x40 Home Depot lathe, a chop saw, two scrolls saws mounted on a work table, a table saw, a Ryobi bench mounted band saw, a bench mounted belt sander and a bench mounted drill press plus I stored the lawn mower and garden tools and my ladders in there....I had to go outside to change my mind and if I needed to change tools, everything had to be moved outside until I could get the right tool in position... I had about 2 x 4 space to stand at the lathe...
Pictures of my shop..... worked for me.
Even now I'm in a 12x24 shop with 3 work benches, two lathes, an upright band saw, a table saw, a bench grinder sharpening system, a table mounted drill press, a 1" belt sander, same two scroll saws (they're stored on a shelf now), a planer, microwave oven for drying wood, a toaster oven intended for stabilizing wood (haven't used it yet - stored on a shelf) plus 3 racks that holds bowl blanks, chain saws, some storage boxes and other assorted items.... thank goodness for overhead rafters.. where I store linear lumber, spares for some of the tools, several long extension cords and my face shields.
I do like your bowls...
And I had forgotten that my son gave me his 1014 Jet lathe that I squeezed in to the shop in Houston...
