Nice. Two lathes? Two Lathes!:nono: How can a man have two lathes.:noidea: Now I am jealous!:greenwithenvy:

I actually have 3 lathes ... another South Bend is in storage. I should sell it as I know I'll never use it.

he has everything but room

Dan, you sure got that right. My shop has zero room for anything else. Every time I buy another machine, I have to sell something to make room for it. I actually would really like to move my 20T press down from the garage into my shop, but I simply cannot accommodate the footprint it would take. So sad. If I were ever to move, it would have to have the space to build a suitable size, ground-level shop.

The only good things I can think of about a basement machine shop ... free heat and A/C, and real handy to the dinner table. But just about everything else is a bummer. For those of you who have moved a 48" Bridgeport mill or a 3,200 lb Monarch 10EE lathe ... try to imagine getting those into a basement 10' below the garage floor! It will give you a headache just thinking about it! Bill

I finally got around to digging out some pics of my hobby shop. I'm retired and play here when I'm not golfing. Hope you enjoy it. Bill

Bill, When do you have time to golf? I think you have a shop you can be very proud of. You have put together a very very nice collection of machines and tools. We all thank you for sharing your space with us.

Looks like he must have designed submarines for a living, the way he has stuff put in every available space. :roflmao:

Beautiful shop though. I'm green with envy!

I had to look again and saw 2 vertical band saws and 2 Wilton vises. It's like the Noah's ark of shops.

Well I finally got around to getting some updated pictures of my small modest shop/cave.

Here is one taken a while back taken looking back towards my open shop door. Getting the sand rail/race car ready for a race. Don't have said sand rail any longer. Wallet has gotten a little fatter since giving up racing. This is prior to getting my new equipment and re-arranging everything.
