I was requested to post a few photo's of my shed where I make swarf,:
This is my "new" Prazimat lathe:
It was purchased in 2009 along with my BCA to mark the completion of my University studies and being allowed to return to the love of my life: making things in my workshop! Moving round this is my hobbymat lathe and assembly bench, where all the fiddly stuff is done.
On the end is my Prazimat Mill, which to be honest has been primarily used as a very expensive drilling machine until this September when my Company generously funded the DROs for both this machine and the Harrison you will see in a second. (I still have yet to make anything using the DROs but they have already demonstrated how poor the dials were for measurement!)
This is my biggest lathe, rarely used but wonderfull to have if it is needed, this is my only lathe with a taper turning attachment:
Next set of tools is my Harrison mill, surrounded on either side by a pair of cutter grinders and then my BCA.
Lastly in the corner my old Myford, she is two year older than me and following extensive restoration I hope she will out last me, most of my model making up to 2009 was done on her.
Hopefully something of interest to you guys.
