Phil probably just sets up a forge on the sunny beaches of hawaii and forges away =P
My shop is currently half of my 2 car garage (soon to be all of it again once i get my brother's convertible out of it) + a large workbench in my living room (can you tell i'm a batchelor?)

I am working in my two car garage as well. I use up about one whole side. I dont have a huge set up, one tall cabinet to hold supplies, a work bench which supports my vise, drill press, and KMG. The space in the middle seems to be cluttered, but thats my fault. I would like to build a vent system so I could forge inside the garage so that I dont bug the neighbors for when I begin forge work... but thats in the future anyways, we'll see.

Hi Friends,
Before my farm's lease and my family's needs changed, and we moved to the big city, I had my shop in a garage and a shed. I was fixing to build a beauty of a shop though. I had 30' trusses and timbers gifted from a contractor friend. I also had a huge stack of corrugated metal (salvaged from a self storage facility doing a rebuild) to roof a 50'x30' space. I was just getting ready to pour a slab when we pulled up stakes and moved to another island, so I sold it all for a song.
Anyway, now I'm in Honolulu, with no space, so I have been setting up my shop in an open court yard (hey, at least its got a concrete slab) at the Waldorf High School were I teach various hand crafts. Everything is under tarp canopies, umbrellas or roof over hangs. Rain drift it a big problem, but having no "shop" is even worse.
[Note the jewelry equipment (centrifugal caster, burnout oven and vacuum pump) in the last pic is stuff shipped in from Stacy Apelt. I got some of the other stuff from another forumite, Ryan Whittemore, such as the griz belt grinder and horizontal band saw, at one of Indian George's hammer ins.]
All the best, Phil
