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.

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:
