Mate, I'd settle for what I can see. And that plasma table must be huge.. 1.8m wide and 6.1 m long.
I have a 1200 mm x 2400 mm cnc plasma (home built) with a Hypertherm PM45 on it. And that takes up nearly one bay of my 6m x 8m shed.

I've definitely got shed envy... :D

yeah its nice to have access to the equipment, I work out of a 40' x 40' shop that is heated and air conditioned after my normal job.
I got all the necessary tools there as well, tig mig, plasma cutter, hyd. tubing bender and by the sounds of it the most important part to this build a 6000# fork tuck... Im expecting my steel in today for the frame and the cooking grates should have a weekend project if i can find the insulation

Nice, I-Beam might be a bit overkill on a DP though... :D

Yeah we go through about 700-800 tons of steel a year. We've done some crazy beams now and then like 7qty W14 X279 that we're 45'. There close to 13,000# ea. Now that's a over kill
