Wait until you figure out that the toilet makes a good place to drill holes... All the filings/dust go into the toilet LOL
Been there, done that.
Many times, and will repeat as needed.
Lacking a garage, a spare room or a shed, kitchen is the best place by far, specially because it was designed to get dirty, in a bad way (liquid spills, dust such as flour, etc.) and designed for easy cleaning.
Absolute worst case you can hose the whole room down 🙂
Clean hard floor is easy to sweep, easy to find dropped little thingies, try that on a carpeted bedroom and lots of furniture for them to hide under.
Having a hot coffee pot at your fingertips is a bonus,also the hot gas flame to burn wire enamel.
Bonus points for the nearby fridge 😉

The good thing is the regigerator is close at hands. slap a nice hunk of cheese between two slices of sourdough and a glass of red wine or a beer. What's not to like?

Being single most of my gear and test equipment etc is in the living room.
5 big disco speakers in the room.
PC is about 5 feet from work bench so I can connect USB devices.
Scope and sig gen on the bench with soldering iron.
Components are in numerous trays and boxes, strangely I know where every component value is despite being spread around.

Sandwiches don´t really count as "food".
To be more precise, they do feed you, no doubt, but cutting a piece of bread in half and stuffing some cheese or cold meat inside (original Lord Sandwich´s invention back in the day) does not really count as "cooking", and that´s the point.

Debatable. Hillel the Elder, a guy who lived in Jerusalem during the first century B.C., made sandwiches using Paschal lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened matzoh bread. And I would suspect he was a copy-cat too.

OTOH, that article has a falsehood. Illustration captioned "A young boy carries a huge multi-tiered 'Dagwood' sandwich" is clearly seven individual sandwiches.
I kept my microwave oven on top of the Craftsman 3-drawer intermediate chest filled with tools and handheld instruments. Convenient when I was waiting for dinner to cook and I decided to deal with the dripping faucet; took me barely 5 minutes to remove the handle, unscrew the guts, take out the valve seat with a hex key and file down the seat to remove the corroded notch that prevented it from sealing.
And there were those times I took a hacksaw to frozen meat to carve off a chunk for dinner.
Top tip: don't use the top of the electric stove for a work surface or storage. Sooner or later you turn on the wrong burner and then there's smoke.
