The only reason I would ever consider a shop too big would be if I was constantly heating it or cooling it. I dislike the size of mine, I'd like more room. Everything I have with one or two exceptions is on wheels because it has to be moved now and again. My dust collector is pretty much anchored because the shop is pretty much plumbed. If I was finishing on a constant basis I'd want a separate finishing area. There's actually a Facebook group that is dedicated to small shops that I belong to. There are some great ideas there but for some a single person working in a 10,000 square foot area is a small shop so you kind of have to adjust. Glad to hear you're getting some dedicated space to work in.
