Some of you may remember me!! I have still been keeping an eye on you all and watching all the advances in the pen turning world. There is some very nice work out there.
Well I have finally got a shop back, it has been around 10 years since my last real shop.
It is a 3m x 5m garage attached to the house, took quite a bit of work but got there in the end.
First had to renew the old fibre-glass roof and decided to make come new doors to replace the old broken metal up and over style.
Made a separate small clean room in one corner where i can do my assembly and photographing. Just enough room for a seat.
Just been spending time trying to sort out where is the best place for all my stuff.
Just a few of my pen blanks
And of course you have to get something new to put in your new shop, so here is what i got.
Boy is this beast so smooth and quiet, with the wood that is on the shelf i reckon it is touching nearly 1/2 ton in weight.
And here are the first 3 things to come of it. No pens yet still sorting all my kits out, but soon!! :biggrin:
