Before I moved to the country and built a real shop, I was working out of 5X7 offset corner of the garage that I put a workbench in. I put large caster wheels on the back legs of my 12" Craftsman bandsaw that were off the ground when the saw was upright but rolled on the ground when I tilted the bandsaw backward, this saw was fairly light. In hot weather I could roll my bandsaw out under a shady maple tree in the front yard and work. I would have my shave horse under the same tree for drawknifing staves to shape.
I found that working outside under a tree to be very satisfying, much different from working inside a closed-up shop.
