Spent some time in the workshop today. I donated a bunch of old Rivett lathe parts to the Colt Arms Museum yesterday so a considerable amount of space has been freed up.
My shop is located in a spare bedroom of my house. It's 13x11 feet.
When you walk in the first thing is my Atlas 618 and a cheapo bench grinder.
Next, you see the 1909 Rivett #8 Precision Lathe. It's being restored. I'm awaiting a few parts at present. I likley should move it out of the shop to make use of the space.
I have a nifty little vibratory tumbler on the lathe table and a small hydraulic press sitting on the floor.
My tool box rounds out this pic.
Next we have the Taig milling machine, a cheap Chinese drill press and a borrowed Taig lathe. I'm kinda a clutter bug so my benches are not usually this tidy. There's an old shop vac under the table to get at the mountains of swarf the mill tosses everywhere.
Last we have the shelves. This is stowage for my metal stocks, tooling, engine parts and pretty much anything else I use with regularity or am too lazy to put elsewhere.
Anyhow, there it is. My refuge from the world.
Thanks for looking.
