Shelves went all around the perimeter of the room, and on the shelves were sewing machines.
"He collects Featherweights" I was told when I asked.
You can watch a video about Dave and his shop here.
I hit the big box hardware store and bought a couple of big plastic bins to carry my quilts around on my cart. I got smart and brought some quilts with me so I could determine the correct size. I bought two of these bins. They held two of my scrap slabs quilt and one smaller wall quilt without smashing the quilts together. I picked up a few other things, (nothing to do with the kit: I bought basil, parsley, cilantro, dill and rosemary plants for my garden) and I finally ordered a portfolio to carry around my spare mats and portable design wall. Now I just have to wait until everything arrives.
Mary asked how I would make sure everything stayed on the cart.
Bungee cords, I replied, and yes, I already have them.

Superb shelves, and so many machines, the collector of all time I would say. Bungee cords, so much better than rope, twine or elastic.
I remember the year that Margaret Gunn's daughter won a sewing machine for her quilt and how Margaret was concerned because so few kids entered that category -- and her daughter was in that video as one of the seven winners! Go Dave Go! (and what a cool looking shop with all those Featherweights)
I would love to just visit that shop and stare. The video was great. I sew on vintage machines (except for the long arm).
That video was great. Made me wish I lived in the area so I could support the shop of such a generous man!
