I ordered up a JMR 1000 series electric hydraulic bender on Black Friday. It has a somewhat blemished coating on the bender arms but it's barely noticeable. The blem dies I bought also look just fine. I was surprised to see a Baldor motor on the pump which made me very happy. I opted for a one shot 90 cylinder as well. I have not fired it up but I'm heading to Tractor Supply in the morning to buy hydraulic oil and some tractor paint for a few projects I'm working on. I look forward to putting Bend Tech Pro to the test tomorrow!

I also went and looked at a commercial space I'm considering leasing. It's small - I wish I could afford 3000 square feet but I can't. So I'll have to make due with a 1500 square foot suite that has a private bathroom and a 300 square foot office. The office is bigger than I need however I'll put some storage racks in there for inventory if I decide to lease this place. Overall it was a pretty good day!

What does shop space run per sqft/yr where you are at? I've considered leasing some space around here or buying another building but it's hard to justify it for just hobby use.

It depends. This particular property has eight suites and was built in 2005. It's broken out as: 300 SQ.FT Office with heat/ac, 60 SQ.FT Restroom, and the remainder is warehouse space. It's as small as I could possibly go and at .45 cents per square foot triple net it will be around $1020 a month. I'm going to make them an offer for $900 a month and see if they bite. It's south of Sacramento in a rural/industrial area. This is on the lower end of cost for this area though there are a few deals out there in questionable areas for as little as seven cents a square foot.

If I had the land I'd just build a shop and that's my plan down the road, however for now leasing is my best option.
