The forum asks for " My workshop" pictures so, as a new joiner, here's my empire!
Some pictures when first arranged (i.e. while still tidy). Now so messy I need a shovel to get in!
These pictures are from a couple of years ago but still pretty much the same general layout. Where the chair is in the pictures, now sits a mig welder and large gas bottle and I have added anti vibration mats on top of the flooring (which is on a raised wooden floor) The actual machines sit directly onto the concrete floor below. There is also now a 6" bench vice and an 8" double grinder with a polishing spindle at one end on one worktop.
Overhead are 3 double fluorescent lamps and a halogen work light for both the lathe & the mill.
The workbench and cupboards are kitchen units bought off eBay. I have 5 double 13A sockets, one 20A each with an MCB and one 3ph socket so plenty of power points.
It is very cosy as the roof is insulated and I have replaced all the windows with double glazed units. This was after I broke one large window pane and the price of the glass alone was very nearly the cost of the whole double glazed unit. When I put the window in behind the lathe I made sure it could open to the side so that anything long could go right through the headstock (and the open window).
The DRO on the mill has gone to the right hand side and a power feed added on the left side
Now a lot more lived in!
