I just added a new workbench, and bought a grinder stand at Harbor Freight for my engraving ball vice.  My shop is currently in the garage, but I will build a dedicated workshop this summer. 
This setup works pretty well in a corner of our two car garage.  Only one car fits though!

   Its great seeing what everyone has set up for a workshop. I am anxious to get mine going. But right now it is packed with boxes of I don't know what. Moving is a huge pain. I would guess it will be a couple weeks before it seems like we are getting anywhere with unpacking.

   A lot of you have wonderful shops with lots of space. I would be interested to see some of the small spaces that some of you use. I think it would be useful to see some solutions that you have come up with to deal with a lack of space. Even the guys with the big workshops run out of space eventually. I have about 90 square feet of indoor space and some space out in the garage for the larger machines.
