Haven't contributed much to this site, but here's a look at what I've been doing lately in my basement workshop. It's a multi-functional area of the house; it houses my play area, tools, and various artifacts related to my hobby, as well as a rack for my grand-daughters toys and play things. In addition to having the TV/lounge area, there is also a spare bedroom, an exercise room, and a full-bathroom, all fully finished and decorated. I have upgraded in the machinery department; out with the Delta drill press, and in with a Clausing 8530 mill. Still have the trusty South Bend 9A and the Atlas 7B shaper. I keep the in-process project rack close to the machinery section, both for convenience as well as a constant reminder of the next batch of motors that need parts made for them. Also have added several outboards to the collection, so the "real" furniture (I don't count the TV area couches as furniture) has gotten a major rearrangement too. The television screen is large enough that during the fall I can work in the machine area and watch football at the same time. I have a lot of fun with these old motors, they can keep me entertained for hours at a time.
