I've a good few friends that either started or run small mnufactruing businesses out of a garage or spare room. Those that moved to dedicated premises only did so once it made sense financially and were already supporting their family. Some moved rural, supporting a bigger workshop. I have 3 car garage, with one car in it, the rest is workshop. That fits ample tracking, several metalworking machines, bench space and tool storage. I don't run a full fledged business, just hobby jobs, but it could easily support as much. I've seen clean rooms, home built automated manufacturing rigs and labs I'd wish for at work, all in people's sheds. I truly believe a small workshop can do wonders. The capabilities of small modern equipment, and the ability to outsource jobs/parts by email only makes this easier. (edit: formatting)
