Turning a small, pink tool shed into a workshop...?

I saw Bill Moran's original shop a long time ago, and it seems to me it was a small shed not much different than what the Feisty one is describing. Does anyone remember what his original workshop was?
 
My shop is a converted mini barn 13'x 21' with a 7' ceiling,It has a very small loft on top with about 5'6" clearance so if your not crouching the entire time you're in the loft you can hit your head on a rafter,but all in all it works nicely for me.

It was a small shed on the farm. I have pictures somewhere.


My grinding shop is barely more than 7X7'.....and there is a lot of stuff packed in there.
 
spent alot of time in the corner of a 2 car garage with my HTing stuff in the basement. then moved into half of a 16x22 shead (still had soem of my gear up in the house cause of climat controle )
and now my workshop is just about finished 16x24 2 floors with heat (might get AC also down the road) has taken me more then 10 years to get to this point
 
A good friend of mine worked out of a small toolshed for some time. Had to get creative in the winter, as if he ran his heater and his sander at the same time, he'd have to go back in the house to reset the breaker. :D

You definitely find out how good of a tetris player you can be, as well as finding multiple jobs/purposes for one tool.
 
I moved from a 24 X 32 ft. shop into a 10 X 12 ft storage shed . Got all my stuff in there including the heat treat oven . Dust collector is outside though and piped to the inside . I actually am liking it better , quick and easy to heat and better lighting with less fixtures .
 
My workshop is a 10x12 arrow shed. Its a little cramped but works for now. If you are planning on going bigger in the near future, I would not invest too much time and money on the small one.
 
not to long ago there was a guy here who made his first knife on his balcony
Looked good as well
 
Bit of a quick update:

Since I'm a giant wuss and my Grizzly 2x72 arrived when there was a couple of feet of snow on the ground, I decided to set up shop in my attached garage. I still had to get a bit creative with some plastic sheeting to help mitigate the dust, but I feel like it was a good decision.

If I remember, I will post some pics when I'm in the shop tomorrow night.

Now if only I could figure out how to grind a decent bevel, I'd REALLY be going places...
