Im 14 and my parents have a 2 car garage, I am alowed one side that incudes a 4' shelf from the back wall, big sand blaster, miller 252, 1,500lb 6x18 surface grinder, 1,400lb 3x5' base metal lathe, 2x4' base wood lathe, my dads stuff in that side takes up a lot but I still have 8' wide walkway to the back. its better to have just a lathe rather than just a mill. if you want to convince him take everything out of the garage an spend a weekend cleaning and reorganizing, I did that and was alowed to get my metal lathe. Also mention the stuff you could have repaired with a bridgeport or lathe but only if you could, not if you could try. I fix tons of stuff for my parents so they let me get more and more tools. DO NOT WALK INSIDE WITHOUT CLEANING CHIPS OFF YOUR SHOES!, I got grounded from my tools for two weeks.
