Thanks for the tour.

Bamban, I like your sliding tail stock mod. Can you show us more of how you converted it?

I'll fill in the low-rent end of the spectrum...

This is a temporary setup. The top is 2 layers of 3/4 MDF with white laminate on all faces to help resist movement from changes in humidity (a serious problem in Georgia). The laminate is also impervious to most solvents, fluids,etc., resists dings and dents, is easy to clean, and it provides a nice surface for jotting down notes, measurements, etc.

IMO, that wood top would look nice, but you should use it elsewhere and drop in a laminated version instead.

Eventually I will have a decent cabinet under it, but the sawhorse setup works well enough for now

Cavediver, can I join you in the low-rent end of the spectrum?

 

[Zathros]

In What category would this be? Mini, micro or nano workshop?
Just 2m x 3m metric

Very nice setup wrmiller

Thank you. The stupidest thing I ever did was sell that little SB1001 lathe in the background. I've been trying to buy it back ever since, but my friend won't even consider it.

I may have to steal it...

I got everyone beat on low end Mill stands. I have my LMS High-Torque on a cut-off piece of Formica counter top, sitting on the bed of my 60", cast iron, Oliver wood lathe. The Grizzly G0602 lathe is happily nested on a heavy duty base built between 2 oak, built-in storage closets.

Zathros - your "shop" looks like it's in a very small / tight space - and you've made full use of every square inch!

I would say "closet size", but still a few steps above the "pocket size" workshop.

By the way, due to the way you posted your pictures, they appear as simple red X's inline when using a web browser on a Win7 PC. I had to use a little trick to see them.

When using tap-a-talk there is a special way to post them so everyone can see them. Here's a link:
