What is the hassell part?

Producing clean work? Dealing with the space available?

[Guest willie]

If you have the time and manpower to do it my answer would be go for it. It can be a pain in the arse but it can also be very beneficial to you business.

I do limited mobile work, such as farm equipment [tractors, combines etc. ] It is a pain usually so make sure to charge acordingly $$$$$$$ !

Try to organize things as much as possible. When you get there you don?t want to look like an episode of the three stooges.

I carry three toolboxes and have a plastic milk carton for spray bottles and one first aid kit.

The toolboxes are organized by task.

The first is for mechanical (ie tools for removal of panels and rear decks)

The second is for side cleaning and installs.

The third holds heat guns back glass supplies drop cloths and replacement tools.

I am still working on my mobile table but right now I am just using a cutting mat laid down on my truck tailgate.

Also, I don?t know if you will do this but you should try doing some dry runs. Set yourself up with the things you think that you will need then try and do a job, even if it is in your shop driveway. The mock runs will help to expose the things you take for granted while working in your shop while exposing other weaknesses that need to be addressed.

Good luck
