Denmark huh? This forum is certainly far reaching!

Good looking shop, is it just for hobby purposes or do you make it earn it's keep? I occasionally put mine to work paying the bills.

Love your avatar. Mr Neuman is looking very studious.

Oh, it's only for hobby projects but if someone wants something made he'll have to pay for materials - if he insists on donating - I'll let him !

I'm not THAT crazy :nuts: even though it's close !

Alfred E. Neumann has just grown up and lost his hair as we all do - don't you ?

I finally got around to taking some pics of the shop. The shop is divided into three sections: woodworking, metalworking and reloading. Since we're not here for woodworking or reloading, here are pics of parts of the metal working area. Some small power equipment like grinders, sanders, etc are not shown.

Well I did get my rollup door installed. Getting real close to easter which is when I host the family for bar-ba-que and egg hunting. Have a lot of cleanup to do. I'll post a few pics.

Love the old XL175. Used to have one and it was a fun ride. Campy

I also have an old ct 70 like we rode when I was a big kid. After raising 3 daughters my wife gave us a son whom is 13 years old now. Thought I'd help him rebuild some oldies and see where it goes from there. He is working on the go-carts, getting ready for Easter. tommie

My little two car garage is a serious mess, but I am going to post up pics of my machines anyway. This is my stuff.

MY LITTLE HORIZONTAL/VERTICLE ATLAS MILLING MACHINE


TWO OF MY THREE METAL SHAPERS, THE GREY IS AN ATLAS 7B, THE BLACK ONE IS AN 8"SHAPE RITE
BOTH SHAPERS ARE TOTALLY COMPLETE WITH ALL GUARDS AND FACTORY VISES.



MY CRAFTSMAN/ATLAS 12" SWING METAL LATHE. I HAVE MOST EVERYTHING BUT A TAPER ATTACHMENT FOR THIS MACHINE.






1957 VARIABLE SPEED DRILL PRESS AND 14" BAND SAW, ALSO CIRCA 1957

I might just as well face it, I don't need this old Atlas drill press, and I believe the old Craftsman to be a far better machine, but I just cannot bring myself to part with it so it sets in the corner waiting for it's restoration.


I love this ol 7" Craftsman grinder


Old Craftsman power hacksaw, it works great.





Craftsman horizontal bandsaw

Old Western Auto bench drill press. Actually not half bad, in fact, a lot better than it looks!

Dake arbor press.

My air compressor

My old Gerstner top and Kennedy roller.



I don't know why, but some of them failed to show. Oh well......

I have a Craftsman bandsaw like yours. My dad bought it in 1959 from a fellow that told him the motor was burned up. When my dad got the saw home, he checked it out and found the red reset button on the motor and it's worked fone ever since. A few months ago I had to replace the tire on the top wheel. I went to Sears and the man behind the parts counter looked up the saw by the part number I gave him. The saw was built in 1952 and at that time, replacement tires were 75 cents. I paid $12.50 last year.
