5 people have clicked on "smaller than 8x10", which is smaller than 9x10 Goldth

E.g. my layout room is 6.5 x 11.5 foot = 74 square feet - a storage room/workshop room with an around the wall shelf layout, above benches and under storage shelves. Layout surface is about 42 square feet:

Btw - if you don't see the layout plan above as a closed loop, click on the link below to see the plan - the forum cuts images sometimes:

The layout I started on before the 6.5 x 11.5 foot room became available was on a 20" deep and 7 feet long shelf in our living room - about 11 square feet:

If you want to see really small, have a look at Carl Arendt's micro layouts website: http://www.carendt.us - they have layouts that will fit in a shoe box - guess it is true that there is no such thing as "too little room for a layout" Goldth
