I would love to have that much space. My little corner of the garage is so small that if I let it get too messy, I can't even find myself :)

Bjorn, I especially like the brewery section of the garage. I'm a home brewer myself.

 Yes, got the alloy foot too, not used it many times but for some numbering punch work.  Been thinking of making a alternative power source for the pillar tool drill head to make use of it as a radial drill thing, but I might make some sort of toolpost grinding thing/small milling atatchment for the myford, and that would make drilling the drilling function redundant maybe.

I have two versions I use. One is with my Foredom to attach to the tool post. The other is a tool post grinder I converted to drill.
