I have a decent wood shop in my basement, I could only wish to also have a metal shop down there as well...
It wasn't mandatory, but both courses were still offered here 18 years ago.

hmmmmmm my machines are never that clean. Repainted one of my milling machines in Ford "Wimbledon White" two part....... looked great for all of a week.
Maybe it's the working in a windowless "cave" of a basement garage. Seriously though, nice work space Cyclotronguy |

When they started allowing boys to take home ec, the mandatory shop classes for boys went down the toilet, and that is why my residents literally don't intuitively know which direction to turn a screw. I am terrified when I hear them trying to remember as they recite "righty tighty, lefty loosey" HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! They have great brains with lots of information packed away, but no intrinsic mechanical ability. I am extremely thankful for having my own tool set when I was THREE and having parents who were understanding when I dismantled the doorknobs, the vacuum cleaner, the toaster and a slew of other household items like lawn mowers and bicycles. I learned a lot. Boys today haven't the slightest idea how to use tools today unless they are into cars and there aren't too many into actually doing the work. They spend their parents' money and get it already done. Parents have failed their children. |

Nice! I too repair woodwinds and brasswinds. I have been doing so for 37 years. Mostly school band work, although I have a few customers that don't look at a tuba as a trashcan.

Very cool... I recently bought a table saw and thought I was doing pretty good but after looking at your work area maybe not...

You have your questions and I have mine, which is what sort of audiophile items can one make in a machine shop?

Never acquired the skills
My hats off to those with those skills. Still have trouble lining up two picture frames the same height. It's not the math, it's the physical act. |

Very nice. I "need" a 10-12" South Bend with a 3" clearance on the spindle for threading/profiling rifle barrels. And a Bridgeport. Spent many hours in the machine shop making various bits & pieces for experiments while a grad student. Your set-up looks about perfect for the use you have. Am afraid I'll have to wait for the next lifetime for mine.
