The Workshop 2014

[Woodbloke]

A swift tour of the 'shop, (20x12') pics taken earlier this year for the Axminster Blog:



Selfie with the buss pass :lol: …followed by:



…the hand tool bench, leading swiftly onto the:



…Northerly end, with the pillar drill, lathe, p/t, sharpening bench and assembly table, rapidly followed by the:



…Southerly end with the big Startrite and smaller Euro 260 b/s (soon to be replaced :eusa-whistle: ) the vacuum press and wood store behind (mostly English walnut, elm and oak) The North end now contains a UJK ci router table as well, but that's not shown in the pic - Rob

Rob,
That's about 22sqm in new money.
So far I win the prize for the smallest workshop (13sqm)

Still reorganising mine but pics will come soon.

Blimey Woodbloke that is an aircraft hanger compared to mine. Nice shop would love to have one that size.

Interesting to see you are now a 2 BS man Rob (maybe you always were?) I did not notice the smaller one when we unpacked the big-un
Do you keep the small one for curved work by any chance? I seem to recall reading that once a blade has been used for curved work, it is less keen to cut straight.
I try and keep a mental note of which blades I've used for what but I need a more reliable system.

Does a Buss pass mean you get to use this for free?

I see some unoccupied wall space back there:

I think you can cram in a little more, Rob.

Very well organized. With no tablesaw I assume you break down long boards and sheet goods with a circular saw? Do you have a stool to sit on when you're having a beer at the end of the day?

Great Dalboy I knew someone would beat me. I hope that us small workshop owners can help those who would like an aircraft hangar but don't have the space.

Size is not important, it is what you do with it that counts

I've always had the Euro 260 which I use for all general cutting inc shallow curved stuff, which don't affect the blades too much. I think it's only if you do a lot of bowl blank cutting i.e. tight circles that the blade becomes biased.

I think you can cram in a little more, Rob.

Kirk

It's pretty much used up all the space now Kirk and yep, rough cutting is done with a circular saw before machining. Alas, no booze in the 'shop…sharp things and hooch are poor bedfellows and thus far I've managed to keep all pink fleshy bits intact - Rob

 

[Pinch]

Wow! They say we all have a double look alike somewhere in the world.

Rob, yours is definitely another Rob... Mr Robert De Niro - uncanny!

Good to see a clean and tidy shop - tis the only way to work.

You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? [turns around to look behind him]
Well, then who the hell else are you talking to.
You talking to me?
Well, I'm the only one here.
Who the f**k do you think you're talking to?

Superb film!

All of De Niro's films are top dollar... I reckon

Rob, are you sure you don't have a yellow cab in your garage :shock:

 

[RogerS]
