G'day all
A bit like Ed above, though not as well organised, my work space is also in two areas, namely my micro-shed with my new lathe and tool storage, and my carport area where I do my general work.
The photos below show the micro-shed that used to be the old dunny and laundry areas at the back of the house. I have recently clad the shed walls with a nice recycled hardwood and am still in the process of laying out the tool positions for the wall. I have done the saws, some of the chisels and hmmers/mallets, but the planes, setting out tools and most other tools temporarily live in the plastic storage boxes.

The second area is my general working area, when I have removed the car, and rolled out the jarra work bench which is on industrial type casters and ditto for the bandsaw, there is plenty room and fresh air (well ... as fresh as you can get anyway.....) to work in.

I think you should tell the "boss" to get used to the car in the position shown in the 3rd photo
Gives much more shed room.
Cheersregards

Actually, the car is shown in the carport, but the Boss is happy to move the car out anytime. We only really have it in the carport at night, particularly the weekends, when it's not a good idea to have the car in the street if you can avoid it.....

The Shed: 12' x 18' fibro
I can only be jealous of anybody with space as I've just seen in the couple of posts above
Here's mine.
Attachment 97730 Attachment 97731 Attachment 97732 Attachment 97733 shed_6797.jpg
I also specially tidied it up for the photo
There's a carport off the front into which I wheel the tablesaw, bench on wheels and timber holder. It also has various chunks of wood which I've scrounged off nature strips etc.
Yep the chisel rack is behind the lathe. The chisels I'm using at any one time usually sit below the lathe bed on that shelf. I'm also risk averse and make sure the lathe is off if I need one off the rack. The rack is also not big enough and needs modification to take more chisels (they're on the bench behind the disc sander at the moment, plus one on order from Hughie) The chisel rack is on hinges to give hanging space behind for dividers etc (last photo).
I've also made a duckbilled sandpaper holder a la TTIT (thanks for the idea) which is attached to the lathe. The dusty scoop behind the lathe is simply attached to a piece of 1" pipe which is welded to an old wheeled chair base (found up the street one arvo after work)
12' x 18' is equivalent to about 3.5 m x 5.5 m for all those born post metrificationregards

GoGuppy, thanks for pics, lovely wall cladding.
My eyes are not good but, if I can see a scroll saw, would you mind telling us what work you do with it, please?

Thanks OF. I think you are referring to my old bandsaw, it's a Craftsman three wheel design, which served me well for a quite a few years. I upgraded last year to the carba-tec one shown in the carport, when I decided I was getting a lathe. Funny thing was when I picked up the Leady, Bruce was there working on the big brother model (ie one size up!) model of Craftsman.... Given the quality of his work, it must indicate that these bandsaws are not that bad..

I thought I was the only one that couldn't swing a cat but it looks like there's a few of us out there
My shed is a WIP in itself - just got the slab down for stage 3 last week - which is also why the floor is (almost) clean. The concreter suggested he wouldn't take responsibilty if a gust of wing blew shavings onto the slab while he was finishing it so I had to clean up Stage 3 will be a roof-only work area but with the weather here I'll be able to use it pretty much all year round (not that I'd rub that in or anything ). The back-end shed extension is just for the air-con and wood storage. Then there's the covered racks - old Honda 4-wheeler crates that stack up - chockas with logs, boards and blanks. And the garage holds the chainsaws, thicknesser, jointer/thicknesser and thicknessing sander which are all on wheels so I can roll them out on to the new slab (was pavers before) - - and a bit more wood .
Then there's the wee little shed for the DC which is a recent addition too - DC was wheeled out every day before and was a pain if it was raining and it had to stay inside
