Some pretty nice stuff you have collected there. Looks like a Harley-Davidson crankshaft truing stand in the middle of the bench there, only not so heavy duty!
 
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the workshop
 
Very nice!
I like the hole mics.

Your collection is impressive and the shop is neat and clean. Everything is either on display or in its place. It would qualify as a museum or gallery and if you have a gift shop at the exit I won't be surprised.

I'm sure that you have more to share in your next set of pictures. Thanks for making my tool collection look meagre.
 
Looks like CERN particle accelerator service room.
Now I know how to spend my salary.
 
Thanks for your appreciation friends.
It could be interesting to have a good lathe, but it's better have accessories.
Tool holder "Multifix"
Chucks collection, included magnetic chuck
Collets W20 ans six jaws high precision chucks
Spherical turning apparatus
Versatile gear train
Milling and cutting gear accessories
Square and hex collets
Grinding accessories with B8 type collets

Zapjack,

Thank you for sharing your shop. I must admit I am impressed by your lathe and accessories. If I can dream about the unobtainable (for me) Monarch, I can also dream about the unobtainable Schaublin.

Best wishes for more future projects.

If somebody have it twice?
Regards
LeZap

It's nice to see some metal chips at the base of the mill and on the shelf of an adjoining table. It feels more like home.
 
I can see the robust table and twin vertical posts for the drill press adding rigidity but I thought that drilling accuracy comes from the quality of the chuck.

Is your chuck special too? Just curious as it's an upgrade that I would consider.
 
Very nice set up and collection you have there. Do you make or build any thing with all that?

By the way ZAPJACK how is your RR Merlin ?

You're right DJP, the drill had an upgrade many years ago
Also the massive table machinned in a raw bloc of allied steel.
Chuck is an "ALBRECHT" 0-1/4"

Stand-by. because I have some problem for the machining of the connecting rods
Mainly the "fork" one.
And I make the promise to build the Lanz HP at first.
After the "HP", I will finish the De Havilland Gipsy and than come back on the Merlin. Unfortunately, I have only 28 hours in a day
I have a very demanding work, I'm leaving home at 6AM and coming back around 7PM, when I'm not in a foreign country. I work abroad as technical consultant.
Regards
LeZap
