Some of these pictures were a little earlier this fall before i finaly got the sheet rock up.. it only took 3 years...

The lathe station and dust collector..

Air purifier and sound sound deadening box around the air compressor, a computer fan hooked to the pressure switch comes on when the compressoer turns on and cools the box, two filter grates in the front provide a filted air flow to the compressor

here are the drilling and cutting stations, drops from the dust collector are conmtrolled via blast gates...

this si the sanding/grinding station, it hosts two belt/disc sanders, one 6"beltX 9" disc and one 1"beltX4" disc, one drill doctor, a variable speed grinder and a wet system for sharpening lathe tools, the table saw is stord under the end of the bench, 2" drops from the main dust collector go to the large sander and are controlled by a 2" ball valve

the main work bench provides enough surface area to do the finish work, all lips and hardware are stored in small benchtop bins, replacement stock and "odd" supplies are in removable cases under the bench..
the spray booth is made from a pair of clear storage bins, the small one is a filter box, it contains fiberglass and charcoal media... keep in mind, because I use the air flow from my dust collector, only non flamable paints are sprayed into it... all other flamablees are sprayed outside...

large and small stock racks are at either end of the shop..

I'd be too embarrassed to let you see my digs right now. What a pig pen. I can't find crap, but I am almost done turning for the winter. Been going crazy the last few weeks. I hate turning and look forward to finishing up that operation. I will still do a few here and there but the brunt is almost done. Now on to the operations I enjoy.

BigFish Dungeon!

Larry where's the lathe?

Its in the shop/garage. Where is yours? This is a corner in my basement where I do my thru wiring and such!

Just finished rolling gray concrete paint over the shop floor I didn't get uncovered and swept up last week. All I have left to paint is the narrow area I store long stock in, but that might not get done this year. I find it really helps keep the dust under control. And I needed to ge a year's worth of dust/sawdust cleaned up before I could stand to do anything more down there....

I don't own one, I thought it would be in the cave with the rest of your stuff

No...all the dirty work gets done in the shop in the garage. Turning, drilling, sanding, clear coat. In the basement I paint, thru wire.

Some before shots. Stuff piled all over so I could paint...

And the rest of the mess...

Ton of work to do...been meaning to get this done for years. Maybe now that I have hung out my laundry, I'll actually get it done the way I want it.

Gotta vac the shop first but yes!

Looks Awesome Larry

Larry, why aren't you fishing the Fishinfreak's plug. :huh: :D

Hey you can't call your place a dungeon. Thats what I call my shop.
I have dibs on that phrase. You will have to send me 1 plug for royalty payment.:humpty:

Howe Caverns....I've actually been there....

me too, many many moons ago on our way to Cooperstown i think. It is nice but it ain't no Carlsbad Cavern's

Yep...thats where I was heading when we stopped there

Did the Cooperstown/Howe Caverns trip when I was a kid! Great time for an eight year old!:kewl:

a work in progress - need to move my Jey air filter out to the new area and get a cyclone collector. For now its shop vac.
