    If an organised bench means an organised mind, what does an empty bench mean???

    You've gotta have the piles of sawdust and several unfinished projects you wouldn't want to fall below the unfinished project threshold - that's a quick way of getting 'inside the house jobs'

    cheers,

    See the RH sand of that pic? Throw in a couple more lathes & grinders, a thicknesser, bandsaw, pair of Tritons, etc. then take all the tools off the racks on the LH side and stack them haphazardly around the right. Finally cut off the LH side of the pic.

    That'd give you an idea of my little slice of chaos.

    This is a great thread all of us that have a stolen half of SWMBO's garage (when she decides to leave the car outside ) can just look and drool So here is my part of the garage at least I have the grinder close to the lathe and I try and convince her that i need more of her shelf space for all my good timber and not all the household nicknacks that she wants to keep there ( not winning so far)
    keep the picks coming

    I'm impressed - is the window treatment to keep the mozzies out?

    Default East Side - West Side Pt.1

    Don't have a backyard "shed" here in Jersey (used to have one when we lived in Kentucky...7 meters x 12 meters), so the workshop is relegated to the basement.

    It is also split into 2 zones (east and west) which are seperated by a door. The east side is the "working" side. The west side is the "glue-up and finishing" side.

    Here are the east side pics.
    Cheers,

    I suppose being a "cellar dweller" stops you being distracted by the view .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Special tools used to increase frustrastion, exercise and create thinking time to prepare for the next lathe session to relax with.

    ...what view????
    John, my full time business in Kentucky was making turned items for gift shops, and there were times I could have used two more drill presses with dedicated jigs for several of the items that had to be drilled before they hit the lathe

    .....but, business or not, like the (true!!!) saying goes "you can never have too many tools!!!!"
