Thanks.

A genius can work in and control each chaos - obvisiously i´m no genius, i need it organized. :$

That's exactly what I've been wanting to do, Specifically for painting. Very nice, I'm sure you have most of us here jealous.


Oh and I like the G3 iMac :thumbsup Still have mine in my work area aswell :lol

:confused

That was never my intention .... i was hoping it brings some inspiration to these with not enough space to have a big livingroom sized workshop. To give them some ideas for their own "how". Sometime it helps to see other peoples solutions for a certain problem to find own ideas.

Wow! Great work! I just started my own building area in the garage. You have way better tools!!

Thanks.

Not from the beginning, i´m buying them one after another. And the extras as equipment and tools for them is what makes them so wallet draining.

Thanks, it´s growing.

Wonderful or how we say in Germany

WELTKLASSE !!!!!!!!!!!

I always have to smile when I see pictures of workshops from Propmakers their are little cases with stuff no one else can use or would even think of keeping it.

Jäger und Sammler halt :lol


And if you ever throw something in the trash, 2 weeks later you need it and never find one again.

CLASSIC! :lol

@Lichtbringer, I wish I could buy a lathe, but it's not the time... Maybe I'll ask you to build some pieces for me :lol

Gorgeous setup, you have an amazing amount of organization!

I am flying in on the 5:30pm flight from New York (United 2145) tonight.
Please pick me up because I am bringing a few items I need help fabricating: See below:

Darth Maul’s Lightsabor -
Arnolds Terminator shotgun
1/64 replica of the Deathstar (episode 4 version)
Computer Case from Chuck TV show
Solar Babies roller skates
Dante Montana (Star Hunter) belt and holster
Replica Mask from THX1138 - PB848 head

Thats all I could pack right now, but I might ship over some things after we get started. Do not feel like you need to clean up the house or anything, I can just sleep on the sofa.

WOW, I cannot wait to work in your new shop. It looks Awesome!:lol

Maybe I'll ask you to build some pieces for me :lol

If i am capable to do it, and have time for it ..... - ask, maybe i can help then, maybe not, maybe later.

The badest answer you can get is a "no, cause .....".

 

[Lichtbringer]

Gorgeous setup, you have an amazing amount of organization!

You don´t want to see what would happen without it. :lol

I may not have time all the day - would it be OK if you get your own set of keys, i show you the bath and kitchen, and then let you work on your own? Off course i would have the evenings to give you a helping hand. My wife would understand that .... maybe. :confused

Ah, one thing - no 1/64 Deathstar, sorry. My "big projects facility" is not available. A guy who said he is a "PAK-Protector" ordered a funny thing he called "Ringworld". Might keep me busy for some weeks, i´m afraid. :unsure


lol:lol

Thanks a lot. Btw - i watched Solarbabies last night, wow, it brought up a lot of memories "when we were young".

Today i got my newest toy. :love

A Vertex rotary table (+ chuck):

Some now might question "What? A rotating table? Stupid german!"

These things are used to drill holes with exact definated degrees between them on a circular way. Like this (a bought piece, just for visualisation):

Or you can mill from the center to the outer edge at definated degrees.
How it works - you want 8 holes/slots - 360° divided by 8 is 45°. Drill the first, rotate it with the handwheel on its front and the index for 45° and drill the second, then rotate it again 45° ......... until you are ready.

You want 17 holes? 360° divided by 17 is 21,18°. Drill the first, rotate it for 21,18° and drill the second, then rotate it again ......... until you are ready.


Another way to use it is sideways, like this (again a bought piece, just for visualisation):

Drill, rotate, drill, rotate, ..... first row, done. Then move the table for the distance you want the second row .... drill, rotate, drill, rotate, ..... second row, done.

Or you drill, move the table, drill, move the table, ..... one row done. Rotate. Then drill, move the table, drill, move the table, ..... next row done.

Of course you can also mill a slot, rotate, mill another, rotate, ....
