Afterburn-
“I have not read all this, and maybe it has been said-
I don't understand the "mancave "thing at all.”

My shop area has evolved overtime, Started as a good spot for storage. I use my garage to house cars and mechanics tools so there isn’t much room for woodworking but plenty in the down below.
My son and I do quite a bit of woodworking, he’s built several chairs and tables to give to friends and having a completely different enclosed area to make sawdust, noise, stain and finish projects is great!
I don’t have any couches or a bar there but there is a small fridge to keep water and beer cold.
I refer to it as my mancaveshop but it’s more shop and storage than anything else. I’m always “allowed” anywhere in the house at anytime 😄

Being retired for the last decade I do admit it’s a good getaway spot,my weights and workout bench are down there too so I can grunt and grown to my hearts content while listening to music I like, my wife and i have different tastes.
I don’t know if that helps to explain it, it’s great use of an otherwise huge and empty space
