Thanks fellas!
Wanna see how the rest of the 'shop camee together?
The Spray Booth.
I'd made an item for a friend at our old house that required a paint job (the details I'll go into later when I show what I've made when no one's around at work and I've had the metal lathe all to myself ). But seeing as we were renting I had concerns about paint going everywhere, so I built a small spray booth in the corner of the shed. When we moved and I saw the potential in the place we're in now it was obvious that I needed to put the spray booth back in.
Again all the timber is from stuff that I've scrounged but all the rest (drop sheets, tarp, screws) I've paid for. All up I'd say less then $30 AUS.
The first night I had it finished I turned off all the other lights and the only one left on was for the booth, man it was creepy! If there had been someone standing in there I would have screamed for Linda to come save me!
And just to show inside.
The Drawing Desk.
As I looked more and more into building props it became obvious that I needed to draw up plans to build off of. So I built myself a little drawing board and pulled out my old set squares and pacer. But when I got the rest of the workshop set up and my workbench done it gave me the need to have an allocated drawing desk. Enter my old kitchen table that I no longer needed to use as a workbench (I paid for the ply board, screws, glue, handles, all the rest is recycled)-
Building the right hand pigeon hole to house my folder and drawing board.
Building the centre draw for all my equipment.
Sawing the grooves for the draw's MDF base.
The second pigeon hole done...
... For the WIP drawings draw.
That's about it for how the workshop came together. I've got a couple of other things that I made on the metal lathe at work that I'll post when I dig up the pictures.
