For background, I am an avid RC modeler and build and fly planes as big as 10’ or more. In addition I love to occasionally do some woodworking. That said, I need a space big enough for work benches, power tools, painting, etc… It doesn’t have to be a huge space but it needs to be a couple hundred square feet or so.

I know I could probably convert one bay of a garage, but I would still need two bays for cars and one for a golf cart. That would mean a 4-car garage. It that what others do?

Thank you

We have a 2 car + golf cart garage EXTENDED by 4 feet deep and 2 feet wide. This is sufficient room for my carpentry tools / machines. I simply do most carpentry jobs in my driveway, or, at the very edge of my garage (where the door comes down), keeping the majority of sawdust outside.
Works for me!
