My (washing) machine shop.

It looks like a well designed kitchen. You stand, or sit, there and everything is in arms reach. I am envious since I now use two stools and walk the three to four yards between them every few minutes.

The mill has successfully been digitised! The scales were fitted using existing holes in the machine, to do this i ordered a longer than needed scale for the x axis which allowed brackets to be used to mount the scales. For the Y axis, a piece of steel bar was mounted to the mill using an M6 countersunk bolt and the scale was then mounted to that.
For the quill DRO i cut up some old callipers and a piece of angle and araldited it in place, im surprised how nicely this worked out

Update to my workshop, I have recently bought a new lathe to replace the 7x14 mini lathe. It is a Halifax 524 which I won on ebay for the opening bid price. Its can swing 10" diameter and is 18" between centres so is a decent upgrade. I believe it is a slightly upgraded copy of an atlas 10" lathe, there are some parts that are a bit more beefed up from the original Atlas. It came complete with a 3 jaw, self centering 4 jaw, independent 4 jaw, 9" faceplate, tools, materials, steadies and a homemade 100T indexing attachment. Very pleased with it and its a lovely thing to use. Naturally I had to have a sort out of my small shed, luckily I was right with the tap measure when it came to seeing if it would actually fit

That looks like a sweet little lathe and some good tooling too, a nice find! There's no wasted space in that shop!
