Ekkehards workshop

[Ekkehard Schuhmann]

Hello all,

after my introduction a few days ago, I would like to show some pictures from my workshop.
I have had this workshop for over 30 years now, and it has already gone through several evolutionary steps.
I let the pictures speak for themselves.

Regards

Beautiful shop you have there.  As Dave said, you have used your space very efficiently!   

Looks like a very relaxing place to spend a lot of time!

You make me very envious of your fine workshop. Whats that hiding under the plastic covers? Looks like a high speed launch.

Awesome shop! Everything is so neat and it's very well equipped. It's obvious that many of your tools have been modified to suit your needs.

I suppose under the plastic cover is a model ship.  It looks like your mill has been CNC'ed?  Also, can you described that very interesting watchmaker's lathe?

[Ekkehard Schuhmann]

Also, can you described that very interesting watchmaker's lathe?

This watchmaker's lathe is home made. When I started building the ship model in year 1996, I needed a small lathe to make all these tiny parts.
From a friend I got the rough dimensions of the lathe and the rest is just doing. If you have a bigger lathe and a milling machine, you can build a small lathe.

You make me very envious of your fine workshop. Whats that hiding under the plastic covers? Looks like a high speed launch.

It is a ship model, more precisely a submarine-hunter from Polish navy (GDANSK class). The active time of this ship was around 1950. Scale of the model is 1:20, total length 190 centimeter.
Lather this year I will complete it. So once it is finished, I will post some more pictures.

Regards
Ekkehard

Hi

I am not really into model boats, but that is spectacular.

Awesome model ship!  Thirty years is a long time to stay interested in one project.

I like how that big toroidal transformer is on display in your watchmaker's lathe speed controller plus shop made QCTP & holders.  Very impressive!

[RReid]

Yours certainly is an impressive workshop; and full of good ideas and inspiration as well.

[Dave Otto]

The ship is amazing!
So much detail and the finish is spot on.

Thanks for posting the very interesting photos of your highly impressive and well ordered , attractive workshop.  The lovely watchmaker's sized lathe that you have made, and the detailed and immaculate model ship, are a great testimony to your skill in making full use of the excellently thought out workshop.
