Andrew Wildman:
Just thought I would show some pictures of my workshop.  I have moved house in the last few months and so after a lot of faffing it is just about usable.

Cromwell and Harrison lathes and ajax drill



Victoria and AEW mills, herbert high speed drill and a chinese band saw


shaper


surface plate


grinding and welding area


assembly area


clean and electronics bench and CNC centec mill

Andrew Wildman:
Now the workshop is up and running I can carry on with my tool and cutter grinding restoration project

the vertical way was very worn so I lapped in parallel to 0.005mm along its length.  Pre lapping errors:



aligning the base using a precision level:


scraping ways flat and parallel


machining top of the table


base complete


scraping bottom of table:


measuring x ways

Andrew Wildman:
measured results

showing over 0.5mm wear!

Machining ways

I love it! 1 2 3 blocks AND a gardening fork in the same shot.   :lol:

Andrew Wildman:
That is British sheds for you!
The oven was in there for a few weeks, although not working
