The walls of the shop being assembled.
About half of the shop walls are up. You can see the entry way to the basement in the right.
The floor has 2 X 4's laid on their side and nailed to the concrete floor with rigid foam insulation on top of plastic sheeting, plus a couple of coils of radiant floor heating to keep the tootsies warm in winter.
That's 3/4" sheeting on the floor to be followed by 1/4" luan. The walls are 1/2" plywood. That makes it easy to screw things to the wall were you want to. You aren't limited to 16" centers.
That's cheap paneling on the walls. A bit of liquid nails and a few brads to hold the paneling in place. It's just to make it look nice.
The drop ceiling and lights have been installed. This gives a 6 foot 8 inch hight. So if your over that height you'll have to stoop a bit.
The luan has been glued and nailed to the floor and installation of the tiles is next. These were left over from a project when we lived in a mobile home.
Two pieces of furniture have found their way into the room already. The cabinet in back held a majority of my model railroad items and the desk my Dad built for me many years ago. That is were a lot of model were built on and many more to come.
A much better view of the cabinet. That's a Grizzly 9" X 19" bench lathe model G4000. It needs a lot of tweaking before it'll be a good lathe. Plus I have some additions I'd like to make to it. In the back against the wall is the Sherline lathe that I bought at an action. It also came with a milling attachment, plus some other tools.
A second bench holds the new base for the Sherline lathe,note that the milling attchment has been put on the Sherline, plus the Grizzly mini mill model number G8689. A very nice little mill. I'm dissatisfied with the dials and lead screws on the machine and will change them some time in the future. Also on the bench is a 6" beanch grinder for keeping those tools sharp.
More of a front view of the mill and grinder.
The computer table I built from soild cherry, MDF, and birch plywood. It has a nice big area for the screen and keyboard, plus a lot of room underneath for storage and those electrical lines.
The computer is being installed. The HP plotter and HP scanner are already in their places. The large HP plotter is going about were I'm standing taking the picture. And to supervise all that is going on is Miss Boots the New York ,Vermont and Northern Railway mascot.
