Well hello and welcome to the forum :wave:

That's a neat workshop you have there, have you any photos of what you've made?

Nice use of space, seems like a very inviting place to pass the time!  :thumbup:

Hi Eric.  :wave:

Welcome to the Collective..... :borg:

I often wonder how my workshop would look, if I tidied up a lot!   :poke:

What do you make in there?

Hi Freaky :wave:
Wow! nice shop.. :thumbup: from the looks of it it's a spare room in your house..? don't see any swarf .. yet! unless you're clinically inclined to do the whole room after working on stuff. I would love to utilise the spare room likewise, but SWMBO had the last say on that point.. :(..  so its an outside shed project for later.
Noticed you have black marble/granite slab/cutting board for marking off, that's what I intend to use rather than the 6mm plate glass that I have for now, but it does the job, must go hunting around kitchen supplier workshops  :dremel: by the way what model is your lathe?

Hi George,

cleanup is just as fun as building a project ! They call me for nothing freaky  :loco:
I also have a plate glass on my granite lying

At my last house I had my shop in a shed   In this house I have my shop in the spare room  :ddb:
everything has its pros and cons

My lathe is a HBM 250x550  (almost the same as a Quantum D250x550) only the spindle nose is the same as the Lathemaster 9x30 lathe
I am very satisfied with this lathe

Nice looking shop, but it looks more like a hospital operating room than a metal shop.  :lol:

Where's all the chips from projects?  :D
