New Workshop

Look forward to a visit again, I was there last year with Hoylake club and the Wirral club. I will definitely call in and view the workshop when I next visit, I always was nosy. I like to pickup other peoples ideas, they are usually better than mine.
p.s. I only have a Clark 300m lathe, so am very jealous of the Myford

Yes Max, the visitors to The Fort will be able to see what I am up to and ask questions etc. I have an idea we may have met in the past, probably at NB Lake.....

I wouldn't get too much work done I'd be too busy sunning myself on the workroom terrace enjoying the view 😁

That's what I call a workshop!

Looks like its going to be a nice work space. When you've finished you must put a picture up, it will give people like me who are useless at organisation ideas for a good lay out. :-)

HI there folks, I am In the process of expanding my workshop Into Fort Perch Rock In New Brighton, no room at home for my new (secondhand) lathe, so I have aquires a room In the fort, good for me, more space, good for the owner of the fort, as his visitors can 'look at the Idiot making toy boats' Here Is a photo of progress so far, bench erected, a surprisingly strong affair from Machine Mart, I just replaced the top and shelf with 18mm ply. Lathe Installed and leveled up. Todays job to build more bench space......
