[hackerspaces] How to optimize the space

[William Saturno]

And really try to have a CRITICAL EYE. I now critique on "Is it essential?"
Or "Is it going to be utilized in a realistic time frame" parts for a
someday project is a sure bet that there's not enough interest to use it I
try to keep the space dynamic as possible.  The interest of the members 5
years ago isn't always the interest of the members today so move out of
that pottery wheel that hasn't been used in 2 years.

I'm also trying to figure out a way to use a "parking lot system" for
things that don't get Everyday Use. ( welding equipment, metal casting
equipment, wood bowl turning equipment) They go on to individual wheeled
carts and get parked tightly together. It's still not working yet but it's
an Idea in progress
