Nice shop Videoman. Don't know how you guys keep your shops so clean I'd be ashamed to post photos of mine, I had the exact same 14 x 40 lathe only under a different brand in Canada.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Thanks, guys, appreciate your comments. I forgot to mention I have one of those grizzly 7 inch surface grinders and a little electronics bench which are to my back as you look at the mill. I'll get the camera out and add that, if anybody is interested. Don't be bashful about a cluttered shop, though. Cluttered shop is probably a busy shop. I admit to not having enough real projects to justify all this stuff, I am a toolaholic. I do some repairs for the railroad museum, although they have a great old Hendey lathe, and invariably have some friend with a boat or something who needs "just this one little simple thingy". And I make little metal chips out of perfectly good stock just to keep in practice!Angel

William,

Being a toolaholic is almost a requirement for this forum so you're in good company. Big Grin

My shop.......well at least half of the Cnc side of it. The other half is out of camera shot.

This is in my 24' x 46', 3 car garage I added on back in 2004.

Radiant heat in the floor, fully air conditioned in the summer........yes folks......there's no place like home!

All my manual machines are in another section of the basement.


Best Regards,
Russ
