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

Reply to Wood identification neededby handibunnyIf you google "Moradillo" you'll get more information than you'll ever need. It looks like it will work up beautifully.

Reply to Wood identification neededby dgmanThe first picture is Wenge, pronounced WHEN-ghay or WHEN-Gii. It is a very hard wood. It’s splintery and very hard to cut. When finished, it is almost black. I use it when I need a black wood for Intarsia. I do not know anything about the other wood.
