Steve - Welcome. Looks like you are where I was a number of years ago. With just a little nudge you can be out of control too. On the subject of setting up your shop, please check my page out along with the write up on my shop. I too love to collect wood and was fortunate enough to learn (when building my shop) that there was a small log yard/band mill operation just outside of the town in which I live. Gee, what an experience. Maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, elm, pecan, etc. etc. Word of caution, don't get spread so thin that you can't do anything well.
