Well seeing what you did with that small space makes me feel better! I like the wraparound L shaped bench, and I think I will do something like that to reduce the clutter in what I'm using now. It's unfortunately a storage shed for household items, with the lathe nearly buried in the center. I do have 2 stand alone benches (piled high with the machine tools I could rescue), but not a full wrap around like your shed had -- the big problem in winter is getting everything outside long enough to be able to build anything. Waiting very patiently for spring and snow melt!  :med:

I wonder how many hams we have? I've been one since 1981 when I earned my novice ticket at 14. I'm now an extra class with the call, N5FPP.

Never a HAM, but a long time SWL with the usual fleet of AR80 / HRO and various Eddystone receivers over the years. Used to haunt Radio Rallies but I've kicked the habit <G>

Hi there, all,

I didn't mean to turn this into an amateur radio thread!!   :doh: 

I was more interested in the gas turbine aspect.

Where would I have gone to try to buy an APU!  Where do drag racers and speed records projects buy their turbines?

I remember that there used to be a firm of aircraft dismantlers at Hounslow (UK) whose yard was 'paved' with turbine blades.  They had a section of aircraft panel bearing the words 'Bristol Brabazon' over their office door.

Just curious.   :scratch: 

Best regards,

Pete W.
