My shop in the attic

[ticino]

This is my workshop in the attic of my house.
As you can see it's a very small shop so there's no room for big projects. ;D
But I'm content with it.

Hi
( and welcome ticino,)
I can identify with the small workshop as mine also qualifies.
My mill is almost identical in size ,the lathe is what caught my attention. What size and make is it?
I ask as I would like to upgrade my mini-lathe to something a little larger however here in the UK there seems to be a distinct lack of machines between the generic "mini" and the full blown 3phase jobs that would never get through the door!
kindest regards,
Terry T

Hello Terry

My lathe is a HBM 450 lathe (Chinese "CQ9325)
It has a centerheight of 125 mm and it admits 450 between the centers.
You can find more information about the lathe on my website.
regards ticino

Hi Bentprop (Hans)

Youre shop is allmost twice as big than my shop.
My shop is +/-3.5 X 2 m.
And as you can see ,I,m sitting right under the angle of the rooftop ,so I often bumped my head. ;D
