Compared to some on here its not much but its where work gets done.
12X20 one car under house garage. With the car tool box and compressor theres not much room for anything else.

Here is the tool box it was my dads 70's vintage Craftsman filled with misc Craftsman SK Snap-on Kobalt and IR tools. Total disorganization inside. Looking at it today i noticed how rough it has gotten and will get a total make over soon

Most of my work gets done in the basement nothing is in its place but I know where everthing is.
Work area one has a bench a 50's or 60's Delta Drill press Craftsman bench grinder My Kennedy box for my percision tools a 50's or 60's Delta 12" sander and under the bench is a same vintage Craftsman 6"x24" belt sander on a stand.

Work area 3
My sandblasting setup vintage Craftsman bandsaw and to the right a 70's Craftsman 12" table saw that cant be seen.

Most of the tools were my grandfathers or my fathers some might get used daily other a few times a year but when they do get used its kinda neat to know that im the 3rd generation to use them and what projects were doen with them in the past. Hope you all enjoyed the little tour of my world like I have of yours.

Monte Carlo in the top photo?
The drill press is golden! Way lots of good life in that tool.
The blast cabinet is something that would be really nice to have. I keep having to make trips to my friend that has one in his shop.
Good shop you have there!

Looks like a sled motor ,or PWC , the jugs are off.

1998 Ski Doo 670 MXZ snowmobile. Bought it last year with a blown moter melted a piston. Slowly putting it back together the jugs are on the stand with the bench grinder just got them back from the machine shop. Took awhile to find a useable set on ebay the ones that were on it were alerady bored to the max and trashed.

Beautiful tools! That is a very nice Delta floor press and disc sander. Nice pick on the Craftsman/Companion bandsaw too!

Your lucky to have hand me downs.

My dad was never a DIY'er (well I'm slowly getting there myself) so I didn't learn to much in that regard and when I moved out realised I had no tools.

Slowly getting there, but like you said yours have history and that would be nice to reflect on whilst using them.
