This past weekend we bought a new house and it has this workshop attached to it. It used to be the garage and was converted about 10 years ago. Has 20 outlets, recessed swivel ceiling lights and what you can't see behind the door is another wall if workbenches.

My current thought is computer refurbishing as that is a skill I acquired in the 90s and is somewhat profitable but my kids ordered me to put the treadmill and wavemaster in there and make a home dojo.
What would you do with it?

If it is climate controlled (or able to be added easily) then it would become my reloading room and general workshop. That would include firearm maintenance and probably computer maintenance and repair as well (I also acquired that skill and do a bit on the side for family, friends and the occasional paying customer). Probably not any of my woodworking though, unless part of it can be easily sectioned off to keep dust down, etc.

Based on the color of the walls I suggest some sort of Bloodsport, like cockfighting or Bullfighting.

Or take up hair cutting and bloodletting.

Not nearly enough standing room...

Actually looks like a decent setup for a small shop (fix your lawnmower and whatnot)
Easily enough room for a small selection of tools and enough left over for computer work, id say.

I have a few fans?? It certainly has enough outlets to run a lot of equipment. Forgot to add it has its own separate breaker box.

If it was me I'd probably be looking to turn it into some sort of man cave but that doesn't sound in line with what you're thinking. Sounds like you're aimed more at something productive as opposed to strictly entertaining. That so?

Ya got 2 choices:

1) build dollhouses

or

2) build guns


Since you're posting here I assume its #2 ... unless you are going to build dollhouses in which there is gun manufacturing occurring inside them...

I don't see why you can't combine the two ideas somewhat, with how the room appears to be sectioned.

Yeah. It is getting a TV. I have my garage TV in mind. Its an old 30" CRT that's duct taped together. The front keeps falling off because I hit it with my SUV last winter.

Clearly a real man's TV. I used to have a TV like that. It was a 13" I got when I was around 4yo. All the buttons were missing from 20 years of abuse, so either you had to have the remote or use a long something or other to slip inside the holes to press the internal button sensor thingy. Poor thing finally gave up the ghost a couple years back. RIP my friend. :cry:
