Nice, very nice. I do confess for having an addiction to the "old school way" of things. Job proper that is!

Hi Guys, thanks for the new comments.   I saw your window pictures, Terry, just wondered if you had taken the plunge after seeing mine! Does make a lot of difference.
Phil, pgp,  have a look at my posts in the Engines section for pictures of what I have made in this and my previous workshop.  I'm doing bits and pieces for a near complete Stuart Turner steam hammer just now, made the little brass oil box yesterday.   When I have a bit of time, in a while,  I'll do a little piece about the steam hammer build.  Also want to continue the beam engine write up before too long...

Cheers, Dave

Hi David
Great photos, having visited you on several occasions I know your workshop is always as neat and tidy as the pics show, I was wondering if the next time you are at mine you could show me how to make my workshop as tidy. Always a great pleasure in seeing your photos and the parts you make and our little chats.
Best wishes
John.
p.s Thanks for introducing me to this forum it`s great

Hi John, thanks for the compliment!  Nothing at all wrong with your own attractive and busy workshop, as members will see when your photos go up later on.  ( They won't get the coffee though...!)
Cheers, Dave

Dave,  Apologies for the belated responce,  but yes I was influenced by your pictures (and Capt. Jerrys)     As you say, it DOES make a difference.          Regards        Terry

Thanks Terry.  Glad you are enjoying all that lovely light coming in!  I had 16 years in my previous w/shop with daylight only coming through a door ( but while I was working, I was mostly in there of an evening ).  I was determined to see a bit of sunshine when I set up this existing shop.  One of my brothers was / is, a builder, and he made the windows for me in the previously blank wall.     Dave

Nice man cave Chips; & tidy too, mine is a converted single garage that I've insulated & boarded out, with recycled desks & shelving for my work space, will pop a pic on site when I next get chance.

Hello Dave, nice workshop you have there. :)

I have a single car sized shed down the back, which I thought would be too small to house anything, but your workshop shows my concern is unfounded.

As promised... my man cave... :happyreader: All securely alarmed by the way as some low life turd got in back in 2014, fortunately we managed to disturb him before too much was 'relocated'  :Mad:
