Three more workshops. Why are they all so neat? Or am I just very messy?
by John
Reader Tim from NSW, Oz, sent these pics
Optimum mill, Chicago compressor “very quiet”, Myford Super 7 lathe, drill press.
Optimum 6″lathe, drop band saw, linisher. Plenty of light. No swarf on the floor (no snakes apparently).
And from Victoria Oz, Neil sent these shots of his workshop, with some work in progress visible…
Reading Neil’s signs reminds me of a sign which I saw on someone else’s mill or lathe… “Not to be operated by fuckwits”. Maybe I should put up such a sign on in my workshop, but then, it might invite comments about the current occupant.
And finally, my friend and mentor Stuart’s workshop…
This is Stuart’s kitchen, which he is putting to the best use! Note the laser cutter, which will cut metal up to 1mm thick, and the optical comparator. But does the laser slice the toast, Stuart?
Stuart’s actual workshop is the garage. The car, very sensibly has been expelled to the outside. Note the Boxford CNC lathe (the same as my Boxford CNC lathe), and the old green manual lathe on the back wall, still gets a lot of use. Disgustingly neat and clean. Starting to get a complex about this.
And in the other direction is Stuart’s CNC mill (blue base), CNC router on the bench.
And finally, I decided to add a shot of the spare bedroom in my home. Note the Boxford CNC lathe,
This is the spare bedroom in my house. You are welcome to stay, after moving some stuff.
My Boxford CNC lathe in the spare bedroom. Well, no-one comes to stay very often!
Another view of the spare bedroom. 2 Boley jeweller’s lathes. They do occasionally get used.
And another view of the spare bedroom. Plenty of bedtime reading. And another jeweller’s lathe in case you get the urge in the middle of the night.
So there you are. Please send your photos of your heaven on Earth.
