Workshops My shipyard/your shipyard

[Artin]

Some of the smaller machines are on bases that I clamp to the work table when I need them

 

[Artin]

most of the hand tools are all in the drawers , and the tool boxes in all there is about 90 drawers that are full of tools

I am speechless...just WOW, Great shop and shipyard (two in one).

The craftsman's heart beats faster, beautiful large area, great machines.

No place for a bed, that's sad, I would sleep there for sure.

Would be no punishment, no snoring noise only the smell of oil, steel and wood.

Hello everyone. This is my shipyard in a relatively tidy state. There are some truly magnificent shipyards out there. Thank you for sharing. One thing stands out - if you want to build models you will find a way to do it even with limited space. I had been putting off starting up in this hobby again until I had the right tools and place to do it but then I saw the Bismarck collecting dust under my bed and I was busting to see if I could fix it or not and the bug I had as a child and then lost caught me badly and it won't let go. This is such a great hobby and I am sure everyone who does it feels great satisfaction in solving problems and fixing mistakes and ending up with a lovely model. Is there ever a perfect build? Maybe, maybe not but I have found building and learning is very rewarding and therapeutic. Happy building to you all

Looks great!

 

[Uncle Davydd]

Looks great!

Thank you. It works well enough too. Cheers

G'day Shipmates,

I have just finished visiting all the wonderful ship yards in this section, from the humble to the dream workshops and I wish to contribute some photos of my workshop after a major rearrangement and tidy up, most of these photos were taken in 2019.
My shipyard is not connected to the house.

I am running out of space for machines so I started making trolleys for the small machines these can be easily wheeled into place for use then wheeled back when not in use, that's the plan anyway....

This photo shows the bench in it's normal state, mainly highlighting the vertical draw for proxxon tools, this photo shows the draw in next photo with draw out.

Dremel Land!

 

[Artin]

Hello,

this is a " Mödelsäge" - Type B

I enclose some more pictures

I love this saw , I wish it was still available would buy it in a heartbeat at just about any price

 

[Artin]

Since my kids are all gone I have a wealth of space in the house. A workshop for building and a study for writing (and flying on the simulator of course).

If there is anything that makes me jealous, seeing all your wonderful workshops, it is the neatness and the discipline they show. I'm a bum. My wife is not even allowed to enter my workshop (and she is very happy not having to visit me there).

There are a few things I would like to point out. As my eyes are getting worse (a beginning of cataract), I need a lot of light. So I bought me a strip of aluminium (4 mm thick, 4 cm wide), screwed that on both sides to my working table and pasted in three strips of led lights (the brightest one I could get). Total costs about 50 Euros. It gives me a wonderful bright light on my work. (Only the neighbours complaint that I live in a lighthouse.)

I have a lath, which can also be used as a table saw. I won it long ago in a contest.

My pride and joy is my workbench. It's a massive beech bench with two vices. When I was still teaching wood and metalwork it was my residence and I was allowed to take it with me when I left to work for the Rijksmuseum. On it I stashed a Dremel saw, a vertical drill and sander. That's it. Since I work in paper I hardly use them, perhaps I should get rid of them, just like my wood stack underneath the bench, but I can't (yet).

Furthermore it's a total mess. Models pile up and I don't clean (enough). And for a reason. The only time I cannot find what I am looking for as after I cleaned up (a bit).

Don't tell me that you can spot my careless behavior in my models. I simply have some different kind of discipline. Perhaps once I will learn to clean my mess, but if I were you, I would not hold my breath..

Nice xebeck on the shelf there let’s see some pictures

 

[Ab Hoving]

Haha, that's not a Xebeck on the shelf. It's just an experiment to prove that the galleys built by the Dutch around 1600 were of a different type than the Spanish one, which were waiting to attack from Bruges. It ended in the battle of Sluis in 1603, when the Spanish were beaten.
Never finished the model because I thought I proved my point, but it is looking at me in an accusing way....

I think this is a painting of that war

 

[Ab Hoving]

It looks a bit like it, thank you Steef. This picture however represents the Battle of the Haarlemmermeer (1573), not the Battle of Sluis (1603). I had an original specification contract for the Dutch galleys and thought I could fill the details and the gaps in my knowledge by using contemporary paintings like the one you show here. It turned out that the painters had extremely productive thumbs to suck from and I had to abandon the project because I could not fill my ignorance with the images they presented (on some of them a large broadside of guns was painted below the rowers, which was totally impossible and conflicting with the sources). See here below:



My purpose however was just to show that according to the contract the Dutch version was way different (and much simpler to build) than the Spanish one, in contradiction to what a well-known modern scholar presented in a book about the subject. I was satisfied with the model I had, but it keeps staring at me and it still seems to force me to carry on with the build. Perhaps one day....
