I was in a very small house, and I had a tiny backporch. You would not believe how tiny it was. I put my 12-inch bandsaw right there.
I had an unattached garage, but had alot of stuff in it and a car....I eventually was able to turn the garage into a shop, but yes I did use that tiny back porch for awhile.
Have you considered those small buildings ....they are actually storage buildings and I think you can even put them on wheels.....like a trailer, so you could move it.
Other than that.....you could move...find another house to rent where you could have a small shop.

I have always cut on the patio or under the shade tree in the back yard.
Means I lose about four months in winter and more when the temps are unbearable, but it IS just a hobby and I do it for relaxation.Jim

And I understand (from my wife's perspective) that computer apps are totally made for nerds - in her opinion. The breakdown is often between two of...

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby evilbadgerYes I'm still using the one I built I did some upgrades to it though. I swapped out the pipes for linear motion rails and made the gantry out of aluminum.
