If by 'shop' you mean my parents house, then yeah I live in a shop. My workshop is an 8x12 shed I built when I was 14...its mostly storage now. I do a lot of personal stuff at work after hours but its mostly just basic tools...big difference is that I have a roof overhead and some space to work. My garage is an empty spot in the driveway lol

I make due

Heres a link to a thread I made on BackYardMetalCasting, I run my foundry outdoors right next to my shed. I've scaled up my operations a bit since since these pics, there should even be a YouTube video of me pouring aluminum.
