hows it going everyone.. google as not been my friend when it comes to turning shops.. i got all my big cutting tools and what not in the garage.. but since socal summers suck and winters are pretty much a lite summer, i talked the wife into letting me setup the lathe and stuff in the spare bedroom.. vacuum and dust collector will be set up to help with mess.. i set up my bench tonight, its made from the rarest wood on earth.. internally lined with titanium for strength and gold ball bearing for buttery smooth drawer action bought from harbor fright with a 20% off coupon lol.. my lathe a turncrafter commander 12" will be here thursday and carbide tools should be here by then as well.. i need to build or pick up one more bench for a mixing station and i should be good on that.. prolly put my drill press in there to..
but the main question is what is the main things you guys have with in arms reach of your lathe? how is your shop setup? i really want it to work in the spare room.. i had a glass blowing shop setup in my garage before and summers just sucked would be triple digits and really unmotivating.. but with this option i got AC and heater lol.. way easier to keep a eye on the kids to so thats a plus..
Show me your station, your bench, your studio.. what do i need to have by me besides the carving tools.. sandpaper, glue, polish? ill prolly make a few pens here and there but mainly will be doing 1 sides handles.. and prolly more acrylic then wood..
heres my naked studio lol.. looks sad right now.. needs a tv and computer.. def need some art on the walls to... wish my view was of the front yard and not the back but i guess the dogs could be entertaining to look at haha thanks in advance cant wait to start mixing my colors coming from my glassblowing background i have a lot of cool ideas i wanna do with some color pours and styles
