My upstairs workshop.
Most of these engines are waiting for repair.

There are two benches here, but it's still hard to find free work space.

Downstairs workshop.

Worked with my mate most of the day fitting a new corrugated bitumen roof on the workshop.

With all the hammering and banging, all the stuff fell off the walls, and I'm afraid I'll have to set to with a will tomorrow in order to get it back to it's usual tidy appearance.

At least it's water tight again.

Since I tidied up my workshop and put a telly in it Iv been spendign a lot more time in there because having a telly helps create a very relaxed atmosphere, your having a difficult time getting something to work and getting all hot headed and tempered just put on some standup and have a laugh and relax.

well I go tto think why not hook up a spare game unit to it

anyone here who knows me well will know that I have an interest in old school gaming (early 90s and 80s) and I had an NES unit going spare because my bedroom telly cant take anymore systems (its got a playstation 2, Sega megadrive and a couple more obscure consoles hooked up right now)
anyway now I can sit back on me workshop stool and play NES

nothing quite like a bit of Contra

I like your pressure gauge that's on your pegboard, i also like the vintage drill press

Hey Les.

I've got the very same Dremmel Drill Press attachment you have there on your Workshop picture.

Do you know where can I get the clamps to hold the piece you are working on?

I know many of you can build your own but I am not that good and lack the equipment to build my own.

Off course, Dremmel does not produce/sell them.

Rob.
