The old shop became too small! Only one thing to do.. Find a new one. So me and my partner in crime (He's a smith and I'm a apprentice machinist) decided that it was the time to terrorize my father into giving up one of his stables. There is a lot of work to be done, first of all removing all that brown stuff the sheeps left there! We're going to lay down some new floor, expand the door, paint the walls and ceiling, put in some new windows, put in the wiring and of course move all the machines! hehe.

I'll try to remember to post pictures!
Here are the first few.

It certainly looks like you have your work cut out for you but at least you have some of the right equipment to help do the job. It will be interesting to follow along while you transform this into a workshop. You have made a good start on it. :bow:

Cheers :)

I live in the cold north! :p Denmark.

Yes the Cazeneuve is the crown jewel! hehe So far I've stood with 8-10 different lathes and Cazeneuve is above superior when compared.

Impressive. I've put down and leveled enough concrete to do maybe 75% of your floor space... once, and I never want to do it again. :bow:
 
wow things are looking really exciting now thanks for all the fast updates Thm:
 
Your shop looks real nice. It is good to see that you kept after it and you sure have brought it a long way from what you started with.

Thanks! I can't wait to move the machines down there! Sooooo many projects to begin and get done! :D
 
Very cool. Putting a shop together is a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed all the pics...including the outside ones.
