Title: My Man Cave!
Post by: lazylathe on July 26, 2012, 12:20:18 AM
Well this is what my man cave looks like at the moment.
Luckily for me i have an understanding wife!
This means that i have nearly all of the basement to furnish with machinery!!! :pink elephant:

Looking from right to left from the steps

My very messy bench...

Then onto the computer desk with a Mac Pro and a pc desktop.
To the left is the Myford ML7 sharing a bench with the Keller Die Filer

Moving more left we find the South Bend 9A lathe that needs to be restored...
A 1929 Rhodes shaper that i love! :Love:
In the corner is the restored Clausing 8520
A large tool chest and the very important shop vac.
And last but not least a machinist made power hacksaw and dual grinder.

Hi Andrew
               Looking at that banana shaped shelf over the workbench, i would say that anytime soon your bench may get much more messy :disappointed:.  Appart from that every thing looks wonderfull. :ThumbsUp:

Cheers Dek. :old:

LOL!!!

There is an L bracket hiding behind the parts cabinet that is keeping the shelf up.
It is on my "To Do" list...
