No good deed goes unpunished.
My workshop is also a spare room in my house and measures 4.2 metres - although I lose 1 metre for through access, by 2.4 metres.
In that I have a Sieg C6 lathe, an X2 mill. There's 2 metres of bench space and lots of drawers for tools. Lot of woodworking power tools in there as well
Not much room for expansion, and only 1 power point
