I decided that I will convert the living room into a workshop. It is large enough, heated, there are power outlets, the walls are already painted -- much more inviting than the garage. The only drawback is that I'm renting this place, so I can't drill lots of holes into the ceiling to install lights. Need to think of another solution for mounting some fluorescent tubes.
Today I cleaned out the new shop, and started building two modified EAA 1000 tables. So much for "sheet metal work":
Didn't finish, because I want to keep peace with the neighbours and they have a small child, so I don't want to run the circular saw or the biscuit joiner too late in the evening.
