Started woodworking 2 years ago using a pallet as a table to make a picnic table and birdhouse out of pallets... then naturally I built a bench (pic to follow)... since then my tools built up more and I built more stuff out of pallets.
Then I looked to YouTube for some ideas, found some good channels and got inspired.
So this summer I took the plunge and built my own workshop with lumber from a merchant as buying a shed and building the interior would of been an expense I couldn't justify... being a family man with quite a few youngsters.
It's 8x8ft and roof is 7.5ft (I think, not measured the height) to 6ft depending on where you stand.
Between the blade of table saw, mitre saw and router bit to the walls measures 5ft 1" as I figured the biggest thing I'm likely to make will be 5ft and I can transport it easily enough.
Everything else just fell into place as I went.
Not perfect by any means and still a few things to finish off, but for me a total amateur with no experience I'm very happy with it.
