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!

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!

It's not what you take away, it's what you are left with that counts!
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.
Attached 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.
MY DREAM!!! Savor the taste of having your shop made the way you want the size you want it and where you want it....Originally Posted by Adobe Machine
just let someone else do all the ladder climbing!
Hi Guys, I,m new to the site and when I saw the title of this post, I had to chuckle. I owned a Radio controlled model shop until 6 weeks ago when the lease ran out, I literally have the shop in my house. (A few thousand £'s worth of stock anyway).
Over here in good 'ol Blighty, we're lucky if we can afford a house let alone a workshop!. Mines a 16'6"x6' shed in the backgarden.
Jealous isn't the word!

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)

You drill your own holes in the swiss cheese and turn your own hotdogs ???
Lol.
Cool kitchen.

Not in the kitchen but,very close.In a room in front of the kitchen.Used to be a patio before I enclosed it.I paid a lot of money for the mill and lathe.I want them in a place where I can control temperature and humidity.Another benefit is that it forces one to keep everything clean.There is a window between the shop and kitchen.Great place for the coffee maker.I use a wet/dry vac to clean the machines and,occasionally I clean them with a good degreaser and a toothbrush.They look and work like the day I bought them.The crucible furnace is another story.It resides in the garage.
a drill press in the kitchen could function as a can opener or mixer with the appropriate attachments. unfortunately mine is in the basement.

router finally being built!
y axis done!
hobbycnc controller done!
...mounting nsk rails and thk rail. aligning leadscrews
Half my basement. About 600 sq ft. I have some woodworking stuff in there too.
Allright vacpress....but doesn't all that lubricant make your coffee taste funny.....
Nah. For a hardcore hobbyist it tastes funny *without* any way oil in it

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.
well mine is mostly in the a attached garage but my compressors and bead blasting cabinet is on the back porch and I use the kitchen stove to bake my powder coating parts ....... maybe one day I'll get a large shed but that's a nightmare trying to get the permit form the city
My home is located above my hobby shop, lets get the priorities straight here
Mine used to be a detached, 400 Sq.In. garage. - Ooops - I mean SqFt... It's way too small.
Now I lease a 1500 SqFt site with 16' ceilings. It's about 2 miles from my home but it has a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and an office area with a lovely view of the shop. It's my second home.

Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.
