    Show us your Workshop!

    With me revamping my workshop I realised there doesn't seem to be many pictures of other peoples workshops, so let's use this thread to show us all your workshop! I don't know about anyone else but I'd be very interested to see other people's setups. I'll post photos of mine when it's finished.

    I May Have To Wait

    It seems from my previous posts that I may hit problems with shavings and dust running this machine in the bedroom, so I may have to wait till summer and do it outside or maybe find a workshop or friends garage where I can do the main roughing out and polish it up and assemble at home..
