Mark, this is awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
What will be the size of the museum? Ideas on how many saws you'll have showing, or how they'll be displayed?
The building will be 23' x 118', the lot was only 25' x 140' so that is as large as it can be and still give the contractor some room to work between this one and the adjacent existing building. There will be a short drive way/approach to the back side of the building off the alley.
Initially I expect I will have around 150 to 200 saws on display, hopefully I can find space for another 150 or so eventually as I get them cleaned up and put together. I will need to go for high density display rather than artistic so I expect shelving on the walls and some free standing shelving units in the main display area. I am still working on trying to fit everything in and keeping it all accessible.
The side walls will be 12' so the higher shelves will need to be angled down to put the saws on display. It may work out that some saws will be hanging from the ceiling as a way to make them more visible. I know a lot of folks like the look of a post or log with bore cuts to display saws, I think I will have to forgo this option in favor of a more compact display.
This is what my workshop area looks like currently, actually I have a few more saws on display but you get the idea.
The back wall with mostly 10 Series McCulloch saws.

Need a mannequin dressed in plaid cutting a log with an aluminum hard hat, just an idea.

This is part of the display at Ace Saws in Australia, I won't have this kind of space available.

Youve definitely got something great going here. Sounds like it'll be an impressive display of saws.

...and little podium close by with a button on it that when pressed, a nearby loudspeaker emits a deafening chainsaw sound for a good 15-20 seconds
That's impressive Mark. Good size building. For what it's worth you
should be able to display a thousand saws in that space. My main
saw room is 16x22 with over 250 saws in it. Then I have a 12x16
shed with another 125 saws or so.

I am confident that the workmanship on the museum will be as impeccable as on your workshop!

Do you think a couple guys from Indiana could get some discounted admission tickets to this when its finished?
Oh and will there be security there? Just asking for a friend.
I will be selective on who gets in, but I cannot deny anyone that shares the best first name of the generation...my wife is in charge of security and she's kept me safe and secure for over 42 years. Concerning your companion, I will be open to bribes.

Found these pics in one of my woodworking books. 1966
That's back when men were men. Imagine lugging them saws around the woods today.

Mark,
This really needs its own thread (now that we know you are not just pulling our leg, and making a joke about your 'garage').

I second this! What Mark is doing is super cool! I'd definitely try to take a trip down there to see it when it gets all said and done!
