Hi Scruffy!

Unfortunately I'm not seeing a picture - should there be one attached?

There maybe should be a picture, but as mentioned, the beginning of a workshop, there is nothing to be seen yet I suppose....

I know, I know...I could'nt resist...;D

Still....th_wwp

Ok I think I worked it out now

 

[Herbiev]

G'day Scruffy. Looking forward to seeing those empty spaces fill up

 

[Propforward]

Excellent - very nice workspace! I look forward to seeing your lathe acquisition. Getting a lathe is such an exciting and fulfilling experience - so it's always good to share that. Thm:

Well you have a shop with flloor space . a good place to start. I started in the basement with a workbench . Later my wife let me have the shed room attached to the back of the house off the kitchen . It was her craft and storage room for a while. Her craft area now shares the guest room.
i still have a good bit o the shop in the basement.

I lost a little more the missus made me but the kids bikes back in there

Geez, I wish I had that much room! My mini shed is only 2.4m x 3.8m (8' x 12'). But I did move all the woodworking gear out!

Yeh, know about that! Eventually you will be able to move them out. If I built the roof I promised to make, they'd even be under cover!

That is the size of the late Rudy Kouhoups shed . He did great things.

That's not a shop! Being a fellow Aussie, I'd recognise a SHED anywhere Shops sell lollies and sausage rolls...

Seriously though, it looks good. I've got about the same size by the looks (18'x25' ish?) but with the dirt bikes and project car jammed in there, I have to suck my gut in just to move around.

Have fun filling it up.

 

[surfside]

Nice start! Get more tools soon.

 

[scruffy]

hahah yup mmm lollies, I haven't measured it but that sounds about right, 3 mountain bikes 7 BMX's and the Missuses Barina. I haven't even seen my project car in 6 months

I havnt been on here for a while Finally got myself a lathe. Its only a baby but hopefully should get my skill back up

 

[Herbiev]

Nice looking lathe. That should get ya ticking. If that don't the VB will

 

[scruffy]

I cleaned it up last night, the guy I got it off had no idea what to do with a lathe. Tool steel not ground mounted kind of dangerously and not ground at all. The little machine was full of steel dust, the carriage was bound up and notchy. Get it all cleaned up and realize that I don't have a bench grinder at home to no tool sharpening. Will go and get it tonight so I can have a go at it this weekend.

size isn't everything..... apparently.

i have seen some amazing jobs turned up on one of them.

when you go get your grinder, get some safety specks as well

There must be a lot of engines that you can make where the biggest diameter is not much more than an inch. Plenty of work suited to this lathe.
