Ok, so the term "boiler room operation" usually means pump and dump stock swindlers run by guys with "the" for middle names. My shop however, shares space with our gas boiler - a blessing in the winter and a bit of curse in the summer, although it does have a duct off the central AC.
Anyway - my shop is a work in progress, an exercise in efficiency, and an incredible and relaxing escape from the Manhattan rat race.
Here are two wide angle photos showing most of the shop. The Lista workbench and tooling cabinet are on lockable casters with mucho-weight on them so stability isn't an issue. Underneath the workbench are air compressor, shop-vac, disc/belt sanding station, and a small stand mounted power hack saw.
The opposite side of the shop is where the lathe, grinder, bandsaw, and finishing area are.
