Both are fun - and you get to know your camera even better while repairing it.
Well, main work area. The most important things being the cookie sheet with rubber sheet in bottom to keep parts from bouncing or rolling away, and the carpet that stops bouncing and keeps dropped parts on the surface.
This is its own room these days. Small room, maybe 7x8 feet. There are shelves around the walls for storage, test devices, etc. And I have part of a closet for dead parts, mailing, etc. Maybe 125 square feet total. It's nice to not have to move everything to eat, etc. (the source of the cookie sheet system, by the way- can pick up a whole job as a unit and put it on a shelf in the pantry!).

My cameras are tools, and a "means to an end" and not "an end in themselves", and in more than sixty years of photography, I have not had to spend more than £ 600 total on their repair.
If it gives you pleasure to attempt to repair your equipment, fair enough but I prefer not to.
My dream would be to have my own room to work in, but then my wife wouldn't see me at all
The carpet is a good tip.
I have balls from ball bearings falling onto 110-year-old tiles, and it's unbelievable where they end up in the kitchen, if you even find them.
Is this in the basement or in an extension?
My working place is in my living room:
Brilliantly organized in the smallest of spaces.
Charming!
