    Default Workshop in Bali

    Hello folks,

    Thought you might like a few pictures of the average woodshop in Bali.
    You can find these in many parts of Bali, this one is located near Senge. Not far from the place I live.

    Pic 1: Massive bandsaw. If you buy a machine like this, you get without covers. These are "homemade".

    Pic 2: Morticer no doubt. As you can see the keep a clean shop!

    Pic 3: Planer, note the dust extraction!

    Pic 4: Shaper All machines made in China

    Pic 5: Machine to make round sticks. Works like a giant pencil-sharpener.

    Default One last picture

    Workbenches are almost never used. Feet make nice clamps though.
    Behind the worker you see a giant scrollsaw.

    Hope those lads manage to keep all their fingers and toes into old age.

    Any pics of the work they make in these shops?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    I haven't got any pictures of their projects but I had the pleasure of visiting Bali about ten years ago and some of the work they do in these workshops is stunning.
    Reality is no background music.

    I love the way they work in Bali and the other asian countries. I went to Bali about 10 years ago also and was amazed at what they made with so little. Same in Thailand last year. Of there in a couple of weeks agiand and will have to remember to take photos of the way they work, and their "safety" standards.

    LIke 3 storey high scaffold that leans about 2 metres. Extension leads for welders that are no more than what ever wire they have lying around, twisted together and covered with a bit of plastic tape. One was about 50m, with about a half dozen joins.

    Sorry Zenwood, I don't have pictures of their products. Most of what I saw there were doors, windowframe's and a few cupboards.

    I was there to ge a quotation on wood I intend to buy there. The wood will bu used to make sliding-doors. So when the rainy-season starts I'll be able to close of my workshop more easily and better.

    Default Ear and eye protection.

    Maybe we could all put in and send'em some goggles and ear muffies? Will they wear'em? Will the business owner buy'em?

    Oh dear. Those poor Indoneasian forests. They have no fish stocks left so will they come and buy our forests?
    Don't pass them by! Be daring and caring!

    Dampen their misery....sit with them and talk a little.

    Buy them something to eat and a tram fare to a local mission.
    I'm so lucky that I've somewhere to live and have family support.

    check out a youtube video called "woodwork in Sierra Leone" to see a similar example of producing much with not much...

    I think they grow up from birth using hands and feet for everything, and would no sooner put saftey boots on their feet than they would on their hands.

    Makes me think my workshop is actually pretty good!

    Actually, my workshop is capable of much more than I produce
