    Default My shop (reasonably) tidy at last!

    G'Day All,
    Just thought it about time I put up a few pics of my workshop, not that it is top of the range, but it's mine and I'm happy in it. The bench is the first woodwork one I've made, as you can see it's a few years old. The wood lathe I made my self of my own design and a bit of trial and error, but it works fine for small jobs and learning on. The metal lathe is only a few months old and will be used to make a few improvements to the wood lathe. Most of my power tools are fairly new as the old one's went kaput one after the other, I know they are not the "good" ones but I'm still learning to use some of them, that's why I'm a member here!....Well, I just thought I'd show you that I am serious about my hobby and not just a smart a$$, to all who have helped me in the past, I thank you all!...

    I was one of the messiest woodworkers I know and the only time my shed was really decent was when I took a weeks holiday and spent every day for 9 days going around from one corner to another , its a big shed 100 square meters and I had been collecting junk in it for 13 years . Boy did I throw out some good stuff ( that I was saving for fixing later , might come in usefull one day ,might need that one day ) 2 ute loads , should have had a garage sale really .
    Kept it pretty good since though .
    Looks good Eric .

    It doesn't have to be top of the range as long as you are happy to be in it. Nice to see that it is tidy, just keep it that way.

    Well actually, I got bored and I'm waiting for the sparkie to do some lighting for me so I've come to a standstill till Friday. Then I can finish the renovations. I'll have pics of that too!.... I have enclosed the covered area out back and added a spa room off the side of the workshop, down side is I can't use the welder when the spa pumps are running (haven't been caught yet) sparkie says it won't hurt anything but I'll have to reset the spa (akin to VCR/Micro wave)!..

    Savage,

    I don't know how bad your shed was, but it likley was not as bad as mine.

    I am hoping to correct that problem fairly soon but there will be no photo's taken of the inside of my shed untill I do. I aspire to be a woodworker with a clean shed.

    good on ya mate.

    steve

    Looks like you have got it sorted very well. Good to see another woodworker venturing into the metal.
    Cheers,
    Rod
