the shavings factory

Some friends have been asking to see what I have made in the workshop, so here are a few shots of some ofwhat I have done out there. Feel free to browse around and leave comments if you want to. You can even order stuff. I might not make it , but you are allowed to ask
To start with, some shots of the shop itself and bear in mind that a workshop is always a work in progress.




This is the workshop from the radial arm saw. The Triton sawbench and router table have gone and been replaced by a better saw bench. Not that there was very much wrong with the Triton, but the new one takes up less floor space. The temporary workbench put up 20 years ago has finally been replaced















This is the shop from the other end. the white piping is for the dust extractor system



The saw bench that replaced the Triton. Perhaps not as good a saw, but adequate for my needs and uses less floor space












The lathe. The machine that does most of the work. The two boxes on the wall in the middle above the piping are the speed control and the reversing switch










The radial arm saw is an old De Walt. Made in the days when they were painted green instead of black and yellow. Very useful piece of machinery












The drill press with the Jig table in place
