So that's why I kept bending the pins!!!

I have to say I don't use the machines as much as I would like but they are brilliant if you just want to make a little something. Only last night working on rerigging the tug I noticed the aft mast was a bit wobbly when the shrouds wee removed. When I investigated underneath I noticed that it didn't protrude below the deck so it was sadly lacking in support. One of the disadvantages of buying second hand.

Anyway I had made up a tubular extension in a few minutes on the lathe from a peice of turned down aluminium tube and glued it into a bracing peice. I could never have done it without the lathe.

I did H**ver up the swarf afterwards though.

I can't believe modeling takes place in THAT pair of rooms. Not a dent, scratch, or drip mark. Now Barry's place looks more believable albiet he must be of small and slim stature.

One of my spaces change from Garage, storeroom, woodwork, metalwork and occassional model plane work. Slim and tidy I am not. I have recently had an extra depth if insulation added to the loft so not much going on there yet. I envy (sort of) THAT pair of rooms tho'.

From left to right an anticlockwise panoramic trip around my half of the shed; last but not least my recent “extension” to store the models away from the dust etc.

How I envy Richard all that space!!

Nice clinical workplace Bunkers,I think these workshops reflect the personality of the owners/users very much,love the walk through to the garage and overflow storage area and those lovely motorcycles as well,it is a real seafarers den.
Lovely workspace,I see that you managed to get a TSR.2 kit.

Grahame,another tidy worker who has a place for everything,I like the model storage area as well,very practical.
This is proving to be a very interesting thread.

Well I am not slim by any means,so the cockpit slot is for easing my body into place on that seat,here is a shot taken a couple of years ago of my garden workshop/shed,I use this from late spring onwards with the two large doors wide open.

Wonwinglo happy at work in his tiny outside workshop.

Barry your pictures aren't showing for me for some reason any ideas why.

I got the photo OK, bit grainy. Was it scanned from a print or even a slide Barry? Is that a bigger size "Popsie" behind you ? Nice work station(pulpit).

It was done with one of those free cameras Duncan,thats a Mercury Monocoupe L.7A built from a kit I found in a newsagents shop at Twyn.
