Finished my new mini mechanical workshop last week
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
The red paneled unit is just a deposit for nails and and cable fasteners, It was the only place left to hang it, upon it, if you take a very close look, you will see my Beolit 505. What you cant see is the 3rd wall (the room is a triangle) it is filled up with storage boards holding paints, thinners, cleaners, abrasives and whatever you need around the house.
I use the shop mostly for maintenance of my tools and once in a while turning parts for printing machines. It also comes in handy for making small parts for B&O vintage equipment, The small lathe comes in handy there
I have a big workshop with bigger machines which I am selling now, so this small workshop is for my retirement, as a mechanical engineer I cant live without it
Next step later this year will be a mini mill
Rich:Nice little shop. How did it end up a triangle?
My house is build on a corner lot, one street is at 15 + - degree angle to the other, and in that corner I had to put the shop
Nice little work space. Keep that lathe bed covered if your grinding or try and move that grinder further away if you have the space.
