My shop

[Moxis]

Today I found this forum so immediately I decided to introduce myself. And at the same time my workshop, which is at the basement of our house. These days we have very cold weather in Finland, nearly -20 degrees celsius, but very warm and comfortable at the workshop.

Very nice, multi-function shop, Motti. I now have competition for the cleanest, most organized shop!

What is the flooring material?

Thank you Charlie. Our house has been built 1978 and at that time they used linoleum plates for flooring material. Being still in very good condition, we kept the original material and didn't change it with our many renovations.
Somehow I like working in a clean workshop and immediately after having produced sawdust or disorder I like to clean it before continuing working.

Hi:

Super clean and organized shop! In the freestanding bench, there appear to be pipe clamps incorporated into one side. What is that about?

And, welcome aboard from Canada (near Toronto).

Thanks Minh-Thanh! Attached please find some pictures of the models I have built during the last few years.

The Jeep, Sturmgeschutz and T-26 are in 1/6 scale,

The ship Lempi is in 1/25, it is equipped with Marcher steam engine.

The ship Maaninka is 1/50 scale, it is also radio controlled and driven by electric motor.

Bugatti is in 1/6 scale, it has an electric motor built inside her engine, but not yet with RC.

Thanks ajoeiam! The plate Tool Rules is very important, besides it are a few rusty tools made of chocolate.

Thank you Craig!

The workbench includes pipe clamps in different locations. The purpose of them is to keep bigger workpieces steady when working with them. Attached pictures might show how to use them.

The most used piece of equipment in my shop is Shop-Vac:

Red hose comes from the pickup tool, feeding a cyclone and dropping the heavy stuff into the black metal bucket; the black hose then feeds the vacuum which exhausts through a silencer. I empty the bucket periodically (it never gets more than about 20% full) and about once a year check the vacuum filter and empty its tank – very little gets past the cyclone.

I also have a small Shop-Vac near the sanding/deburring/grinding area to connect to the small dust ports and cleaning the area up afterwards:

Shop-Vac is tucked away in the upper right corner.

Heavy grinding and woodworking is done either outside or in the garage, where I can use the leaf blower to disperse the sawdust.

1/6 scale! Those aren't models, they're toys for the grandkids (but much too nice for them to play with).

Very clever use of the clamps!
