I spent a couple of hours cleaning up the area that I have sectioned off to put my lathe and mill into. The new lathe is a bit longer than my current lathe but it will fit. All I have to do now is move my mill back into the other corner, where I originally had it 
This is the entrance to the sectioned off area. It is 1800mm wide and I'm hoping that it will be sufficient to wrestle the lathe through. If not, I will have to dismantle one of the shelving bays that forms the partition.
The lathe will live along this wall. I'm thinking about taking it almost all the way to the end, to maximize access to the headstock and allow stock to protrude further out the rear of the spindle.
The mill will move back into the other corner. I'm not sure where the brown cupboard will go and it may have to move out of this section. The worse part is that I pretty much had is set up just the way I wanted and then had to empty it out to move it!
I also took the opportunity to paint the short section of chipboard white. It was originally blue and I didn't paint it before as the cupboard covered most of it. Also, I found out that I didn't have enough paint to do two coats. Perhaps that was my initial reason...
