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.
Yes, its in the house, basement, attack, back room...
Yes, its out on the breezeway exposed to the elements
No, its located in the detached garage or shed
No, its located in a remote site
No, its at work in the company shop.
Oh, if I only had my own shop to tinker in!
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!

It's not what you take away, it's what you are left with that counts!

(Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)
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.
A 2,5 x 3 meter room in my appartment.
It's not big but I'm happy with it.

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.
