My basement workshop is only 18' x12.5'. All my equipment is on rollers so I don't have anything in my way. The only time I don't want to work in it is a day like today when I sucked It up and thoroughly cleaned it , it looks so nice I don't want to screw it up again.

You mention that you have been busy as an apprentice carpenter all day. That could take some drive out of you. It reminds me of when I was working as a diesel tech. After working on vehicles and motors all day, I had no desire to even maintain my own vehicles. Sometimes what you do for a living you don't find enjoyable as a hobby...or the visa/versa. Other times a person just needs to right kind of inspiration when they are in a slump.

Right about that, after a lifetime in machine shops my only concession to metal is a mig welder otherwise forget it.

I suppose a lot depends on what other things you have going, I have a vegetable garden hand a greenhouse (I grow greens all year round) also chickens, do volunteer work (mainly building projects) have a chainsaw and generally keep busy, so my workshop time is valuable to me. Still hate to mess up my clean workshop though. It is a Workshop though ,not a wood shop.
