My shop in Sydney - pics fixed thanx Doghouse!

[Justin_F]

Hi, To stay true to my word (in the Introductions discussion) here are some snaps of my shop in Sydney. They are (in clockwise order), The lathe

The roller door

The Bandsaw, drill press, sander bench

The assembly area

I think what I am missing is a rack for the turning tools - I have a lathe mounted block of balckbutt to hold 8 of the frequently used ones but have many more sitting in the shavings under the lathe. I would love some suggestions from you all about how I might make a rack (and where to put it - on the wall behind the lathe?). I would love any feedback you might like to give...

PS: did you notice the fridge in the corner? I think you should have a few coldies to celebrate a particularly good finish! (One the rare occasion I get one!)

Open to critique, always, and respectful of the knowledge lurking in cyberspace.

Oooh man, after the grief Jeff went through to sign me up... I am scared to mention this! The photos seem to upload but still show as red crosses... [V]

 

[Darley]

No worries reload them

It looks like the names may be the problem. Remove the spaces and use a smaller name that should do it.

Hi Justin,
Welcome to the group. You have asked for suggestions for holding your tools. Last weekend I was at Harbor Freight and found some 'bungi cord' thingys for peg board. My lathe is next to my radial arm saw, so I attached the peg board to the legs of the RA saw. My digital camera su***, but my sister is in town for the weekend, I'll use her camera to post some pics of my set up, probably post them Saturday night.

Nice set up you got, like your shelve with all the blanks, I see some WA banksia nut too[8D]

 

[Justin_F]

You are right about the Banksia nuts. You have a good eye - they are indeed WA. Do you use them?

 

[Darley]

Yes for small boxes or dresser perfum atomiser

Nice shop! Welcome to IAP! Where in Syd are you? I lived in Lane Cove for three weeks in 2000 during the Olympics, and spent a lot of time just outside the Olympic village. For those who haven't been there, Sydney is a beautiful city with very frendly people. I hope to get back some day and see more of the rest of the country, too!
