I had a very well equipped wood shop "back home," with machines, tools and equipment collected over a lifetime. But, with the minimal space available in even the largest homes here, it just would not have made sense to try and move it all. The day after we moved in here, I applied for membership at the Villages Woodshop. It took me six months to get in, but the wait time for new members is less now. There are two shops, Rolling Acres and Brownwood, and both are incredibly well equipped. I really can't think of anything you would not be able to build/make given the shop's resources. There are classes for expanding your skills, and some highly experienced members that all seem eager to help folks. It's a great way to meet new people, too.
Sure, you can set up a small shop in your garage. But, you might consider joining the Villages Woodshop too. You might just find they satisfy your needs without taking up valuable space in your home.
