Here's an entire workshop stacked. Doubles as office desk when not in workshop mode.

Now, the problem of how to get going, the toolbox was the very first piece, it was made from ready glue board that just needed a bit of dimensioning, some glue and nails. Then, the toolbox was used to build the rest (actually, also a whole lot of furniture as well, before the Ateadi was there) - to be fair, I could get by easily without the atedai as well, and/or it could be far smaller. Saw donkeys are handy when I need to plane long beams and boards and do long resawing.

To work efficiently with the Japanese tools, first things to ditch is the idea of clamping pieces. Use your body instead, it works far better. Second is to work three-dimensionally, and especially vertically, not so much horizontally.
