My shop is half of a two car garage when the truck is pulled out. Thankfully it is a basement garage that is the width of the house so with my SS MK 10 flat against my work bench there is enough room for me to walk in between the truck and SS. I am in the process to build a mobil cabinet that will have my planer, 6" jointer and chopsaw on, plus storage for other tools and what not.

My "shop" is a 24' enclosed trailer. This gives me 190 sq ft. It is insulated, heated and air conditioned. It works great for me, sometimes I break down sheet goods outside, but can do it on the homemade panel saw in the back of trailer if the weather is inclement. I have 2 20 amp circuits running from the house with heavy extension cords. 1 circuit for lights heat and air. 1 circuit for tools and dust collection. Water is plumbed in and drained with garden hose attachments.
I couldn't do this without a Shopsmith.
First picture is from the back looking toward the front.

That is very nice...
I have long wanted a small shop in a trailer but I don't need anything that nice or that big. I wanted one when we had more rentals and for the farm buildings. We are down to two rentals now and so far I have a good working deal with a renter where I rent to him for less but my phone does not ring... If something breaks he fixes it. I did go repair the water pump after he about went nuts trying to fix it and I did pay a septic tank guy to pump the tank (I'm a nice guy
) but otherwise he has fixed everything else and has done some remodeling (with specific permission). He used to be a cabinet maker of sorts and does "decent" work. The best part is that they sometimes pay the rent a few months ahead. Pretty nice after of years of fighting for rent out of that house. They want to stay there indefinitely. The little village is his wife's hometown.
Yes, as a matter of fact I am rambling.
I do that a lot these days.
Any who, I still need a simple small shop trailer for such things and all of these dang buildings around the farm...

No, I don't travel with the trailer shop right now. It is semi-permanent, but plan to use it for various away from home projects someday.

I'm actually at 240sf of shop space, plus another 120sf storage space in a loft (though that is of limited use, being 11' up from the shop floor.
that's a pretty good snapshot of the shop as it stands now.

I've never posted any pictures of my little slice of heaven. This looks like the thread for them. It's 12 x 14, with a pretty low ceiling (I'm 5'4" so how high does it need to be?), in the basement (lower level) but I get to use the garage whenever and I get to use the 'family room' to do assembly (I set up a couple of saw horses with 2 x 4's on edge and a sheet of mdf, it all comes apart and stores nicely. These pics are a couple years old when I was working on our kitchen re-model.
