Thought I'd reinvigorate this thread a little, here's my workshop. It measures 3.2 m x 1.5, so a rectangle with worktops on three sides. Its totally enclosed and has a door on one side,
First picture is the right hand end of the workspace
Second shot is a bit more balanced and perhaps a better view
Third shot is the left hand side of the workshop, where I do most of my case work and bits of engineering.
And outside the workshop, in a different area is where all your SD's end up for the crystal mods
A new machine project is currently underway (top secret) with luck and perseverance it will open new doors on a number of rep issues.
