Hi Guys,
After years of working full time from my garage workshop I’m moving to a much larger factory unit.
Work is primarily rifle building and I’ll be building a small team.
Mostly I’ve worked on a single bench for all my jobs but I was thinking of running task benches in the new shop. ie. a bedding bench, a stripping and assembly bench, a barrelling bench, another other task specific zones and conventional/individual tradesmen for benches for the usual hand fitting.
I thought this may be more efficient to have the most common operations permanently setup on these stations to avoid having to get the stuff for those tasks and pack it away and reset for the next job.
Is this a common way to run in a larger shop and can you see any pitfalls in it as a layout option?
Cheers
Tom
