    Default Lathe room renovations Part 1

    After the Wagga event, we had some visitors in Jim C, , Ken W and their partners.

    With the help of Col (the local Club President) and son Dan, and Ken took charge and transformed the turning end of my shed. Ken and did the reveals for all the windows, Dan (under supervision) lined two sections of the walls.

    Thanks guys for all the help. It's coming together, so many thanks.

    Here's and Col gluing up the new tool rack:

    And the new rack installed:

    And said rack almost completely filled.

    And new spots for the VL 175 and VL300:

    Sorry, no pics of Ken W with his brace off and barely observing his 5kg lifting limit.

    Lots of room now for timber storage (racks arriving soon).

    Do you get a kind of vertigo where you are impelled to throw your self up onto the wall and impale yourself? Or do you dance with your arms above your head every time a bowl doesn't fly off the lathe?

    Hey Jeff, the eighth slot from the left is empty, what's going on .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Hey Jeff.

    What are you doing with all them blue toolrests on the bench. The ones that reckons are no good.

    Please put them into a box and send them all to me.

    That should make happy.

    Cheers

    Tim

    no , but when you reach over the rack to open a window or even stumble and put your hand out , or turn quick with your elbow sticking out , or reach for one chisel and catch the back of your hand on the one next to it ( seen that done ).
    just giving an opinion thats all
