Hi Mark,
Nicely setup workshop, and dream choices of machines and capabilities. Love that planer
You should probably go to the next Lake Goldsmith Steam Rally, they have more than a few Ruston Hornsby machines, Phil ( your long lost brother
) could find out a bit more.
Regards
Ray

Hi Mark,
Truly awesome shed! looks like you've got pretty much everything covered. Better yet you still appear to have room to move.

Not for long. There'll be a stack of clapped out lathe beds next to the planer soon if he's not careful.

Thanks everyone.
This is a great hobby and I definately find great pleasure in the older machines and the incredible workmanship that goes into some of them. Well looked after they should last many lifetimes.
One has to be careful not too let a passion become an obsession. For me thats when you need Tesa rather than Mitutoyo, Wohlhaupter or tree rather than Narex, Hilger and watts rather than Starett, Mahr rather than Mercer. Unfortunately I think I'm already a lost cause.

Hi Mark, A great collection as everyone has said, just wondering though if the 2 hi-bay lights on top of the locker in the second photo is part of the hydroponic cash crop division of your farming enterprise?
Thanks for sharing the set-up with us and making us all very envious. Cheers,
Rob

I doubt it Rob... I have found they are not that good for that application...oh wait...Should I have said that?
Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

Part of a bulk buy and awaiting the next shed that is already in the back of my mind.
