John's very messy workshop
bogstandard:
John,
By the looks of it, two things are needed.
The first is that you need a good tidy up in your shop, and then, I think we need to get someone to show you how to embed piccies into your text. The reason for that is twofold.
First is that by using a hosting site for your pics (free to you) it doesn't gobble up precious site webspace hosting your pics(someone has to store them for you). The other, is that when a pic is embebbed, if anyone replies to your posts, the pic is there for them to see while they compose their answer, whereas if you just attach them as you have, they are not shown when being responded to, so people have to remember what the pic looked like before replying.
When I used to do model boats as well, my workshop used to be very similar to yours, where it fell, it stayed. I cost me an absolute fortune, in hand tools. When I gave them up a couple of years ago, I decided to get organised, and as anyone will tell you that visits, my problems seem to be hand tool storage. When into boats, I continally 'lost' tools, so whenever I was out and about, I would pick up new ones. Now I am organised, I have found enough hand tools to keep me going for five lifetimes.

Ok, noted...I'll invest some time in working out how to do that... I've heard that there websites that allow saving of images for free..Best do a search methinks..

John,
Someone on here has done a walkthrough on how to do it very easily.
As usual, I have forgotten where it is, but if you hang on a bit, someone will find it and give you the link. It will save you a lot of work trying to figure it out by yourself.

John,
That indexing fixture on the mini-mill looks like the one in Harold Hall's Workshop Practice book on dividing. It's been on my to-do list for a while.

Absolutely spot on....However the details in the text and drawings led to confusion when machining the the cast bearings..The sketch for the bearings showed a 28mm dia, but the spindle main dia is 24mm...Hmmm how did that happen..?
Must admit it took three attempts to get the body right :bugeye: still all good character building stuff...
