Working on a new tiny shop
vtsteam:
The lathe is located on the right side bench, which needs more work -- it will be extended wider, covered wth hardboard, and will receive probably shelves under, rather than drawers this time, so I can store metal stock and hand power tools.
I also want to make a different (sturdier) mount for the lathe, and move the motor, so the whole package is narrower.
I did manage to get some construction work done after all. I put up pegboard on this side of the shop, too. To do it, I had to move wiring and an outlet (not finished yet, but temporarily usable).
vtsteam:
This is the latest state of the shop, as I left today -- view from the door. You can't see the left hand wall pegboard with tools shown earlier.
Two 8' benches, 32 sq ft of pegboard, and 15 drawers, so far.

Excellent Steve - you'll be able to lock yourself away over Christmas, make it nice & warm & cosy and get on with those outstanding projects :lol:

Well, Andrew, very happy to enjoy Christmas with the family. But a shop seems like a present, itself. I don't need anything else! Definitely jonesing to start a silly pipe engine (or 3) so that thread challenge doesn't look so academic!
I know I have to finish the second bench, but with the lathe cleaned up some, it's so tempting to connect a power cord chuck some metal up. It's been 7 years since it was run last. But if I do, the bench will never be finished -- I know myself. Must resist!!!! :wack:

Your shop looks really nice and cosy. I can imagine how much it took effort and restrain....I'm trough four iterations on my shop and mine is a lot less organized, but I can fit all in now and even work.
I envy your bench space.
Pekka
