My home shop

[hq308]

I know we all like pictures here and seeing as though I've spent the last day and a half re-arranging my shop and tidying up a little, I thought I'd take a couple of pics. I've still got a bit to sort out but this should give you the general idea.

This is my 9x20 on my home made bench, one of these days I'll get around to putting some fronts on the drawers. The long drawer at the top holds my stock and the 6 smaller drawers hold tooling. Also in the pic you can see my press and mig welder on the left and you can see a glimse of my compressor on the right.


This is my main bench, currently home to my X2 clone, my bench grinder, and my little 20 year old Taiwanese drill press my dad gave me.


This is my latest purchase, a 6 x 4 horizontal bandsaw. Also in the photo is one of my long term projects, a juke box that I'm making using an old computer.


It's even connected to the internet so I can check in while I'm out in the shop.


And the shop chair made out of a racing seat I had mounted on the base of an old office chair.


Thanks for checking it out. ;0

Ah so this is where the Belmont magic happens!

I'd post some of mine but i have no photos on hand and it looks like a cyclone has gone through it. Thats may be an understatement.....

Ok, man, I gotta ask.

I like that cabinet you made to keep the chips and dirt out of your computer.

Is that made of masonite over a wood frame?

Hi David there is nothing like that feeling , sitting in your workshop at the end of the day,
with a glass of thinking juice in hand, better than sex

Thanks Nelson, it's made out of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) with some cheap pine bracing in the corners. I still need to make a front for it, the piece in front of the monitor is just a piece of scrap I cut out to test.
