Hello, everyone,
I'm in the process of building the lathe. Alignment is not that easy, but it will do for my China lathe.
The milling machine is now on a converted desk. The shelves are filled again. Somehow there is not enough space........

Wow, Michael!  Looks very inviting!  Very nice tidy shop you have made for yourself!

And I know what you mean. There is NEVER enough space!

Kim, I think everything stays clean until the first cast iron is machined and all the chips fly in every corner.

Hello, everyone,

Now it could continue with model steam engines. Let's see if I can still do it.

It's too clean!   Needs a big project right in the middle of it!    8)

Nice

There was a bit of swarf sign Dave, a bit more would make it feel even more homely  8)

I rather like the idea of having a space in the middle of a workshop it lets you put up an assembly table if required. (Mine went up and stayed there  ::)

It's definitely still too clean! But that changes when cast iron comes into play.
But first I'll continue where I left off in February. The bronze is already getting dark.
The Nicholas by Reeves continue to build.

Nice, you must have a steady hand: Nicolas is a fiddly little engine to build  :)

Yes, space in the middle is good.
At the moment I can roll to any place with the office chair that has wheels. There's something good about that too.  :)

Splendid  :ThumbsUp:  :ThumbsUp:  :wine1:

I have also used wooden boards fixed to concrete walls to make mounting shelves and tool racks easier.
Best regards

Roger
