I'm a graphic/web designer in profession and I got into woodworking some years ago.
As a designer I love to CAD everything down to its detail before I build it. So having no space to work and only a 5x5 feet storage room, I did everything from there.
That project was called "the smallest workshop in the world", and later as Fine Woodworking magazine rename it in its article featured in there Tools & Shops annual issue (Dec.2010) "Think your shop is small? Think Again". ( http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/31929/our-tools-shops-issue-rolls-to-the-printer )

Also my workshop set-up project was feature in the...
"Best Workshops" book from the editors of Fine Woodworking magazine (http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/106786/update-best-workshops-from-the-editors-of-fine-woodworking)
and...
"Extraordinary Projects for Ordinary People" book from instructables.com ( http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Projects-Ordinary-People-Do-It-Yourself/dp/1620870576 )

If you like to follow the progress of My Workshop, you can do that "HERE":

Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us… Wisty -- New Project = New Tool... it's just the way it is, don't fight it... :)
