I've posted some pics of workshop stuff. There is a couple of shots of a jewellery box I did as a gift for a wedding that my daughter went to last year and one of the router table recently completed. The last one is of me sawing up the hard way a lump of burr elm to make drawer fronts for a cabinet to be made later this year. I don't know what it will look like, it all depends what I get out of the burr!

Have cut and pasted into a new thread - hope this one works and everyone can see the pics, third time lucky :!: - Rob

Hi Rob,

I can see the pictures in this thread, but your avatar is still awol.

That workshop looks just a bit too clean and tidy. :wink:
 
Hi Woodbloke,
I can see, I can see :)
Nice and clean ( note to self , must clean work shop :roll: . More than once a year is not enought :( )
 
TOO TIDY :D Where do you hide all the dust?
Very nice workshop though.

You will need to keep us fueled with more pictures now.
Everyone loves pictures round here :lol:

Hi Rob
i read your series of articles in F&C over the last few months, they were an interesting read. I particularly appreciated the clear diagrams that accompanied each part. Have your made any changes or got any new equipment?
welcome aboard by the way
 
I try and keep the workshop tidy by doing a clean up once a week before the bin men come. Iv'e got 4 extractors, ambient air, circular saw (Kity 419 and Xtables), planer (Kity 639) and power tool vac (also does band saw and disc sander). Hand tools include chisels by LN, Norris A2 panel plane and Calvert-Stevens (hugely fettled) smoother, LN block (little beauty). Good range of power tools - biscuiter from Lamello, De Walt drill, Metabo random orbital sander, Bosch and Trend routers etc. Also have an Air Press for veneering, a Coronet lathe and bandsaw. Honing by Tormek and diamond stones. Bench was made some years ago following the pattern is Joyce's book (3.5" beech top, end vice etc). Workshop is heated in winter by an oil filled rad and is de-humidifed 24/7, also insulated in the walls by 50mm Rockwool and in the roof by 100mm glass.
Glad you peeps like seem to like the set up, will keep you posted with pics and project details as they progress - Rob
 
Now you are just showing off :wink:
I hope to keep my workshop that clean one day ( and pigs will fly )

Hi - I haven't really made any changes except to get rid off via ebay an APTC mortiser which never kept the same 'set' :x and replaced it with a Record grinder to grind lathe tools. The Tormek is kept solely for plane and chisel blades. All mortices now are going to be cut using a 1/4" router which will be far more accurate - Rob

Sorry - didn't mean to, but its taken me about 8 years to assemble this kit and I've made lots of mistakes along the way, but hopefully Iv'e got it about right now (still hanker after one of those huge LN No 8 planes :lol: from APTC though) - Rob
 
Good to see the pics up at last.

By the way you are cutting that burr your workshop could do with a bigger bandsaw :)

Pics seem to keep on disappearing into the ether - don't know why. How do you post pics directly into a thread without the reader at the other end having to click the URL?

Bandsaw was bought from APTC some years ago (Euro 260) and suites most of the work I do, except for cutting up burrs, besides this sort of exercise keeps the flab at bay. Just remembered - Easter Sunday - Easter eggs - Doh! i've almost finished this bit now so I'll have to see what i've got and then plan out what I'm going to do.
