A very impressive workshop!

Clearly not a real workshop - far too tidy and you can see the floor!

where's the dirty mess you get from oily cylinder heads ..

he must have another greasy part of that shop somewhere .

all the best.markj

I expect he degreases the heads first. The best tool I ever used when playing with cars was a parts washer.

Barely a real machine there either. Just mainly those bespoke Serdi things.

I often wondered if those things are actually any better than a decent milling machine. Probably not.

Wayne....

It's exactly identical to my workshop.....well I say identical in that we both have 3 fluorescents on the ceiling, oh and a brick wall as well.

Only one wall? Don't you find it a tad draughty?

Regards, Tony

Mine hasn't any walls at all and it is REALLY draughty !! Brad.

Don't laugh. I once did a top end overhaul on an Aston Martin DB2.4 Mk III in the "garage" which was just a space under the house (house on stilts). No walls at all, "floor" was gravel. And UK winters? No thanks. Stinking hot in Australia right now.

And humid too - here in Brisbane it's like a sauna.

My first vehicle overhaul (a mere Series 1 LandRover) was done partly in the back garden while the shed was constructed - all the dismantling & welding was done outside, but the shed was up by the time assembly commenced.

These days the shed's looking pretty well equipped, but unlike the one we're really discussing, it has a well used look about it.

whats this

Possibly faster if that's all you want to do. Expensive though.

He does have a scruffy Colchester Bantam and a Bridgeport in one photo. (cue Mark McG to point out that neither of those is a real machine either...)

Mark has some pretty large machines in his place, been there and seen them running... It's like a dark cathedral inside!

I thjink he has a soft spot for the Colchester Chipmaster, but pretty much regards anything else under a couple of tons as a home shop toy.

Peter

I also have a soft spot for Colchester's - Chat Moss.

They are :-)

Walked past one of the lathes at work on Thursday. it was turning down a rotor forging about 3' diameter 180rpm. 1/2" DOC, 50 thou/rev. The reason I noticed it was that the bloody chips were ringing like bells when they hit the swarf conveyor!
