Great to hear, Carol! You're sure to have fun. Just try not to do too
much too fast and burn out. This information might be useful to you:

Maybe you'll even want to help flesh it out as things progress with your
shop.
Our shop (in Canada, mind you) has still not even incorporated, and we
are about 5 years old. We have pretty cheap rent, and a decent pool of
volunteers, so we don't need to rely on grants. YMMV.
Good luck,
Macho
