Now that I think I can post some pictures, I wanted the forum members to see my shop that I call, "Piddler's Lab". I borrowed the name from my late friend and fellow amateur radio operator, Robert Hamrick, WA4QDU.
Below is the outside of the "Barn" that houses the Piddler's Lab along with my Daughter's, "Karol's Kat Korner".
Just inside the door is my half of the barn. Karol says I am taking more than my half and maybe so. Each end of the barn has a loft but it is beyond this ole man to make much use of it. You can see a portion of the loft on my end in the photo below.
Here is the Sherline bench with tooling stored in the drawers below. Both the lathe and mill have DRO's and I often think back of counting turns and forgetting where I was. Don't leave home without a DRO if you can manage it. Oops, I left one of the drawers open.
Below is my little work station where I seem to "piddle" more than I should. We have a wireless router in the house and getting online in the lab is easy on my little laptop. Don't ask what is in the "Red Solo Cup" because I won't tell.
Moving along and showing more machines: Here is my Chinese X2 mill and 7" x 12" lathe, both of which I still use even though the Sherline's are head and shoulders above them.
I started to not even show this pic below because I don't use it that much. It is there if I need to turn something a little bigger. Somehow that just does not sound right. Maybe an oxy. I won't say moron because that would include me.
And now, a wide-angle view of the "Piddler's Lab":
This image is a bit "over cooked". I made it with my phone so go figure. This was made before I added the Sherline lathe and mill on the bench to the left.
Thanks for viewing and I welcome your comments.
