The part of the workshop for wood & metal work is only 10' x 10', so everything (except the planer and a couple of other things) is just packed in - I can only use them when the weather is fine (hah!) so I can take the table saw, router table & other big stuff outside first (the shack door also opens into this bit so even more space is lost).
There is a nice little Hobbymat MD65 lathe with the BFE65 milling head on it at the back - its the yellow thing buried under a load of other stuff (note to self - need to tidy that bit up...)
Now that the offspring have sprung off (all at university or just left uni), we will downsize the house in a couple of years (very sad as we built this one from our own designs).
However, SWMBO agrees I need a FAR larger workshop - at least 500sq ft - so that's signed & sealed then
Underfloor heating. Concrete floor. Proper storage room. Sink & hot water. Oh, I can hardly wait!
The current workshop has three parts - on the left is the office and test area, in the middle is the wood/metal bit, and on the right is the electronics assembly etc. Photo is from about 10 years ago when the boys were rather smaller...
