Deano, have you given any thought to finishing the room? While it's an added expense and often delays layout construction (using up both time and money), in the long run it's a benefit. It's also far easier to do before you get too far into layout development. Studding and insulating those exterior walls will go a long way to keeping out the Wisconsin winter, and will result in a brighter room in which it will be more enjoyable to work. The open joists above will be a constant source of dust, but could be finished at a reasonable cost with a suspended ceiling. Of course, it's possible to get by without such niceties, but they will make the hobby even more enjoyable.
