My modest shop

I do have my own private potty.

That looks like a very nice place to have some fun.
Nice to have a throne close by, too!

Thanks for the pic.

Thanks, I am just getting started with the mini mill and lathe.

I am upto making some basic helicopter parts. It still seems like everytime I turn around I need a new tool, fixture, or measuring device, but I am getting there little by little.

Get used to it ;D

Very nice shop. The great thing about have tools is that you can make many of the tools you find you need.

I love that collection of plastic models.

for sure.


sitting and spinning,

[MakMov]

No fear. I sit over here.

That's some of my plastic anyway

Nice setup.

It looks like you own a Hobby Shop.

Have you built all of those models?

If so, when do you have time to do anything else?

Thanks,

I have heard that before.

No, those are all unbuilt. I did have the intention to build every singe one of them when I bought them; however, as you can see I haven't got around to building most of the yet. There is only about 450 kits + 1 wooden ship, dozens of stick and tissue, 10 scale RC airplanes, 18 RC helis, 2 RC cars

It keeps me more or less out of trouble.

Lately I have been learning to use my mill and lathe building up tooling, and working on some drawings for a small 60 Degree 48 valve overhead cam V12 IC.

I drew up a really tiny 10mm bore X 7.5mm stroke but the smallest plugs I could find wer 10-40 thread and couldn't fit 4 valves and that plug in the chamber so I am upscaling it.

A 16mm bore is about as small as one can go realisticlly with 4 valves per cyclinder and a commerically avaliable Viper plug.

I just got a get a new photo etching kit, since I sold my Autoetch, and update my resin casting equipment and I will have a pretty complete in-house model shop.

Nice shop MakMov. My shop serves a dual purpose like yours. I machine and build my engines and I also build my plastic there although my stash is nowhere as large as yours. I mostly build cars and bikes with the occasional plane thrown in.
It doesn't look like you have your mill bolted down. Does that give you any problems?

[MakMov]

It is not, and no, it hasn't really gave me problems.

I will eventually build an another bench for the lathe, mill and press and bolt them down then.

Please start up a WIP build thread for this one!
