Lets See Your Shop!

[mranum]

My shop is more woodshop than metal working. I realized after posting this that I don't have a lot of pics of the rest of my shop but this is the main work area. The shop is a 24x24x8 garage. What you don't see is a small contractor style table saw built into 4'x4' work that also has a built in router table. That sits closer to the center with a Jet 6" jointer along one side it and a Shopsmith 10ER thats used mainly as a D.P. and a sander sits on the other side. A little further behind it is a Belsaw 12" planer with a 6' outfeed table. On the outside wall to the right of the bench is a small Craftsman shaper, 10" Delta ras along with some storage. Along the wall that has the hand tools is my rebuilt Shopsmith 10ER thats primarily used as my wood lathe and last comes the wall mounted lumber rack.

Here are some pictures of my shop and machines. I dont really have many just showing off the shop, so some are with jobs in the machines.





Here I am welding up a rotorshaft






This is my big lathe. 1942 Monarch with 30.5" swing and 144 centers


Another of the Kearns boring mill

Great shop Aboms & TL. The hobby shops are real sweet. Not many friends have decent equipment or a shop setup nice as this. Good to know some of us aren't total slaves to the computer (unless it's CNC)

And to your point, here is what I call my shop.
Eventually the 2-car side will become the shop, as soon as I sell my bike.

Still no lathe or milling machine, hopefully I will have some $$ coming my way within the next year or so. Besides, there are not that many nice ones here compared to you guys farther East.

Auggggghhhhhhh!, You guys just gotta rub it in don't ya? Now I have to really get busy and do something about the hole I call my shop. You sure know how to hit a guy when he's down.... Oh well maybe all these really great looking and clean shops will get me off my wheelchair and get my butt busy. I am too embarased to send a pic now, But when I get it cleaned and organized I'll put up some pics. Darn, and my day was going so good before I saw all those nice clean procuctive shops. Ouch....

Here is my new shop.
It is 24x40 with 11'6" ceiling, has a large and a small roll-up door and a full bathroom.
I hope to get the final inspection the week after Memorial day this year, and to have the driveway done that week as well. I need that driveway to get my electric forklift out to the shop from the garage at the house.

I like the size of the shop, but I think I would have put the bathroom in a corner instead of in the middle of where it is. I LOVE all the lights. You can't have too much light in a workshop.

When you get older you need to position the bathroom to a more central location so your close to it from anywhere in the shop, as for some of us the bathroom is any corner your close to :lmao:

Baby steps! The mill is here, AND I have moved to the "big" side although the bike is still for sale.
Out of funds for the moment, the lathe will have to wait.
I'm considering going Gingery as a temporary measure.

Don't remember if I posted these pics or not so I'm doing it here.

This is my 12X30 storage unit shop fairly organized and not badly equipped could use about 7 or 8 more machines.:biggrin: Eventually the plasma table is going to be stored overhead via a hoist system of some type. Once it's out of the way & I get my 4' brake press & surface grinder in operation it will be a nice little workshop.
