My Little Machine Shop |
| I put together a small beginner's shop with a Mill/Drill, 9x20 Lathe, 4x6 Bandsaw, and miscellaneous tooling. Plans for this new hobby include learning how to machine hardware for applications, such as microwave/RF projects and a longer term goal of building an 1/8th scale working model of a 60-ton, 3-truck Shay Locomotive that will run on live steam. Picture below show everything crammed in my tiny garage for the winter. The compressor is in a temporary place, until I rework another corner of the garage. | ||
