G'day Zoly, they are entirely different models, I had the MF70 before and it is a smaller less powerful mill plus you cannot use it as a drill press as you can with the one I have now,
Best regards John,

WOW, you guys sure have impressive workshops.

My work space is both cramped and a hotchpotch. The only time I clear the tabletop is when I have something too big to fit on it without something getting in the way.

After this post there should not be any excuse for others thinking their shipyard is too messy for show :D

Wow, Swabbie.
I can relate.
Looks almost as 'messy' as my workspace.

My ship yard is finally completed. It has taken my son and I, over 4 week to complete the transformation and I'm very please with the result.
It it wasn't for my son who spent almost his 4 weeks holidays, helping me, I don't know when this would be completed.
I was more of a foreman than a labourer, Jon didn't want it any other way.
:D​
The only thing that I have to do is to make new labels for the drawers and to put labels on the toolboxes that are on the top shelf above my socket sets etc..
These 2 photos below show the whole area and the only difference is that I took off the dust sheet that is on the RC building cradle.

The next photo is the my new spanner and sockets shadow boards.

The next series of photo shows the 2 lights can move both vertically and horizontally, so I can have the light source where I need it the most.

And this shows how the vertical adjustments works.

The photos of my dust both florescent light shows it can slide back one forth on two tracks.

All of my tools which makes dust that have an dust exhaust, (would you believe have different size mouths), so we used a 32mm PVC pipes and permanently attacked it to the exhausts.

And for my dremel router table, we made an extractor which works brilliantly.

I have only one vacuum hose and on the end a rubber joiner was used to go over the 32mm PVC pipes.
View attachment 44232
All of the power for my tools are plugged into a power board and the end which goes to the outlet on my extraxtor/vacuum cleaner. When I operate any tool the vacuum turns on and stays on for twenty seconds after the tool is turned off.

Above shows the corner of my shipyard with the cane rubbish bag and my silver cylinder for my spare timbers.

This final photo shows the drawers where I still have to put name tags on so I know what is in, what drawer.
;)
My son, kept on bagging me about the small step ladder, which I use to look in the top drawers. I told him it's not easy to be 'vertically challenged'. :eek:
Hope that you all, like my new shipyard.
:cool:

Hi Greg,
Having seen your semi-ready workshop a while ago I know how nice and big it is (I can just envy it) and now it looks perfect and bloody well clean!
Janos
 
Man do I feel undertooled! Nice work areas guys. Right now I am confined to a 4 foot square area in our spare bedroom - because it still has a bed in it :D . Have a 18 x 24 foot room in the attic that needs to get cleaned out in order for me to really set up a proper work area, but right now is a cluttered mess with a capital M. Maybe I'll be able to get it done this spring. But then that means finding a way to heat it in the winter - already has A/C window unit. Oh well, something will happen to make it work out.

Upright on the table is my current project Boudriot's Ambitieux 1680, on the shelf in the back is HMS Warrior 1781. I stopped working on that one a few years back for personal reasons, you can read about it here. http://www.hmswarrior1781.com/

Jeff,
I understand your feelings regarding Romero and fully agree with them. However, fortunately, Warrior is still there. Are you going to continue with it?
Your workshop looks great and so do your models.
Janos
 
You have a very nice workshop and you are working on a very interesting project (and a big one) with the Ambitieux

Thanks Janos, I may get back to it someday, I certainly learned a lot from it. It has some compromises (as built from the Romero Practicum), it is made with the Harold Hahn style of frame construction which is neither prototypical nor historical and is extremely wasteful of wood ... and that has always bugged me too. but who knows, maybe....
