Well my "shop" is really quite a bit larger than the photo shows, as that is just my workbench "nook". About eight feet to the right, out of the picture, is my Grizzly G0704 mill, that I have added a three axis DRO to and about ten feet to the right and essentially behind me is another tight little nook where my Atlas 618 lives. All the rest of the space in the "shop" is shelving, and a large free-standing pantry, with lots of stacks of boxes wherever they can be stacked!

The wall immediately behind me taking the workbench photo looks like this .... when the boxes are moved out of the way:

Then here is my Atlas 618 from several years ago, as I was completing installation of a cheapy, sorta Z-Axis DRO:

Here is a brand new (now 8 yrs old), just unloaded and assembled little milling machine, pre-DRO. It actually ended up about two feet to the left and rotated CCW 45 degrees:
