[size=+2]The Fidgiting Widgitmaster
Widgitmaster contributes to several of the boards regularly and also sells some of the things he makes on eBay. His home shop is very clean and well organized:
Mill, lathe, and surface grinder. It's all there! Lathe is a Birmingham YCL-1440 I believe... Update: Now with divider partition and more tool storage! The Woodworking End... Love the Big Bench and Handy Fridge! Nice Welding Table With Everything Underneath. Not Sure About a Wooden Welding Table Though... Da Mill. Huge Vise! Shot of the Metalworking Area... Love the Monarch! One Last Monarch Shot... [size=+2]RKepler's Garage Stall in Heaven
A panorama stitched together to show Russ Kepler's shop in a garage stall. Makes it look very spacious! Also another Monarch 10EE man... Russ sent me a note with a few details. The shop occupies 3/4 of a 3 car garage, with shelving being about 6 feet of the space. The wife's car still fits in (Aye, and he's a wise man for making it so too, eh?). There's an Atlas 12x36, the Monarch 10EE (rebuilt, he mogliced the ways and put Turcite on the cross slide, replaced worn parts, all took 9 months), a La× FT2 (Bridgeport on steroids, 10x50 table), Atlas shaper & mill both working but seldom used, Delta surface grinder, and a bunch of support equipment. Russ indicates it's all in support of his hobby projects which include fun stuff like model stean engines of which he's made more than a dozen. All in all, an awesoem shop. Russ Kepler's Monarch 10EE Before and After Shots: These are such cool lathes! Here's what Russ builds in the shop: Great steam engine models... Every major machine tool has a jib crane near it, making for a total of 5 jib cranes in all. The organization is impeccable, and there are both manual and CNC machines. Jib crane along top right, FADAL mill on left... Neat organization abounds... Pair O' Manual Mills, Power Feeds on Axes, DRO's, and Parts Drawers in Back... Nice CNC Lathe. Already squared blocks on lower right? Very well organized welding area... Precision grinding area... [size=+2]Community College Shop Love the workcenter and hanging air lines... Mill tooling cart on right is nice too... Lots of storage crammed into a small space. Maple block surface is nice! The Metrology Area. Note the Mill Tooling Rack at top right (Attached to Mill)... Moving out a lathe to make more room. Trash can is on 2 wheeler to make it easier to haul out a bucket o'chips... Haas Mini Mill is a new addition to the family. Love the forklift!
