Since there are always questions about my workshop, I have created a small overview here (photos of the entire workshop can be found below).
I don't have a real workshop, but use the basement of my house. This offers only limited space for tools and machines, so everything is very compact and space-saving. I try to avoid work that causes a lot of noise or coarse dirt and concentrate on things like 3D printing or laser cutting, which I can also do well in the basement. I also had CNC in the basement for a short time, but that was too loud and too dirty for me. Due to the lack of a garage or shed, I then returned the CNC.
