    Cool Is your Hobby Shop located in your home?

    Is your Hobby Shop located in your home? Or is it located in a barn shed, or other external building on your property, or is it in a remote location!

    Right now mine is in a shed at my parents house, I just bought some property behind my house and had it leveled, so I can put a shop there. All I have to do now is raise the money to build it.

    Smile need a bigger garage.

    Mine's in the garage, started with a small lathe with the urge to design and build model engines, then came the small crucible furnace, bandsaw, molding bench, then the cnc router plus a couple of linux servers and ........

    You know, whatever size a garage is it's not big enough!

    Had our home built recently with attached garage and purpose built shop, after final inspection added another detached storage for the shop with an isolated welding& grinding area .
    Visited frequently by deer, javalina,cayote and occasional bobcat.

    well. i know i am the only one with a lathe and milling machine in the kitchen... however, the kitchen is aropund 1,200 square feet.. so it has the space.. also in my kitchen is a wide array of other tools, big work benches, etc.

    in the past i have had a recording studio in the kitchen(differnet place)

    i think the kitchen is an ideal place for machinery or equipment. (apparently)

    a drill press in the kitchen could function as a can opener or mixer with the appropriate attachments. unfortunately mine is in the basement.

    well.. i find the texture of aluminum shavings rather tasty.

    OK?

    also, i havent got a basement, or a garage..or a porch even.. it isnt a normal place. but check this out:


    The 'shoptchin' is the far rear left-most room.. For scale, the whole place is around 5000sf.
