Big enough to do what?  

Build a king-sized, four-poster bed?  

No. 

Build a 16-foot canoe?  

No.  

But for puttering about with some hand tools and small projects, I don't see why
 not.  

By the time you get a decent bench in there, you'll be down to more like 8 x 10 
floor space.

What about the possibility of insulating one of your other, larger spaces?  

I just called the insulation contractor today about spraying cellulose into the 
open walls of my garage - primarily to help keep that end of the house the same 
temp as the rest of the house.  The big room above the garage always is too cold
 in the winter and too hot in the summer.  I'm hoping that insulating the garage
 and enclosing the walls will help that.
