Poll - Which best describes your shop. Inside or outside?

[Hillbillysmith]

Who has a smithy/shop/garage that they use for their smithing purposes, and who does their creating outside? It seems to me that I'm the only one who does work under the stars, but I know of a few people who do as I. So, where do you smith and if inside, how big is the working area?

I have a 10'x20' costco car port that acts as my shop. I have to push the forge out from under it before I use it. So it's sort of a hybrid. All my tools go under the car port. The longer I use the space, the better I get at using it efficiently.

I have an one car garage that I work out of until I get my forge hood hooked up in the shop (10'x20'). I pull the rivet forge just outside the roll-up door to keep the coal smoke out. A very temporary set-up (two years now). I only have room at the front of the garage for the vise, forge and anvil.

I'm in a 10' x 12' shed.

Not much, but sure beats the 8' x8' one I moved out of.

It's got an open front, so my work can easily spill out the door if size dictates it and the weather allows it.

I've worked outside, it was a pain in the butt. I only have a couple pics of the outdoors set up, this one has Richard in it. He was one of my first students and a fine young man.
