What's a Quiet Shop?

A Quiet Shop, to me, is a workshop that co-exists peacably within a family home. I have two children (ages one and three). Located in the basement just behind the furnace and next to the washing machine, my shop has very few power tools. This allows me to putter at my bench in the evening without waking the children (and my wife) with a cacophony of screaming machines. It allows me to listen to Mozart rather than motors. The only sounds heard through the floor above are my occasional outbursts of profanity.
