Hey everyone. I do believe that this might be my first post here on Hobby Machinist. Just getting started in a little bit of metalworking. Bought a Precision Matthews PM1022 lathe a few months ago and learning on that, along with a few "upgrades" to it, like oilite bearings where the shield tilts up and down. Stuff like that. Also purchased a little Harbor Freight knock off mill from a friend of mine for practically nothing. Already working on the wife for an upgrade (the mill, not the wife).
I hope to build some quarter sawn oak tool chests for my metal working tools. I just realized that is backwards. Should it not be wood for wood tools and metal for metal tools..lol.

First pictures are when I completed the shop in 2008, and before I filled it up. 20' x 30' and still way too small. So this summer I am going to steal the lean-to where my boat is sitting and enclose that which will provide an additional 12' x 30'. Hopefully the boat sells early this spring.

Thank you for the comments. Yeah, those pictures posted goofy. At least I got one to the left and one to the right!
