[Closed] Name something you wish you had in your workshop?

Mechanic

Dita von tease

Proper lathe and mill, mine are handy for small pieces but very limited.

milling machine wouldn't be bad

Collie dog.

And a pikey seeking missile

a dust extractor like that mr footflaps has 🙂

A vice

Advice ?

A flux capacitor.

Space

3 phase.

My dads vice, there's 2 somewhere but damned if I can find them

LOL Rat, about 6 or 7 transit vans towing caravans passed me yesterday on the Deeside road. Drivers wearing wife beater vests and a couple of low loaders with 'tarmacing' equipment.

A better 3G signal.

I miss having a breadmaker in my workshop actually - start it up on arrival. Work with the smell of baking bread and then its ready for lunch. Slice with a panel saw.

Unfortunately an incident with some boards falling over sort of parallelagrammed it and I've never gotten around to replacing it.

Moving into a new workshop next week that has a 150 year old forge. Wondering how well it might double as a pizza oven.

A competent bike mechanic.

Thermic lance

a bandsaw and a Mig welder.

A henry hoover just for me.

Wish i had a workshop..
A bridgeport cnc mill
A cnc lathe

A plasma cutter

A Bandsaw

A bridgeport cnc mill
A cnc lathe

It's one advantage of being in engineering. I tend to do most of my bike stuff at work as we've got all the tools and plenty of space to do it in. Oh, and I get paid while I'm doing it as the machines are 'running'

A full set of metal working gear and the skill yo use it. First i must master wood!

A Morticer.....oh and Kaley Couco 😆

I'm looking forward to having a workshop but when I do (July), I want a nice big press in there. I'll be fixing a number of BB's and wheels once I do.

4 Headed Pillar Drill
Lathe
Bandsaw

..Never realised how much I used them until they were gone. 😐

Pillar drill, bench grinder and lathe.

Stevied..

When i was in engineering i too made plenty of 'homers'

Trouble is now that i dont have access to mill or lathe i still have plenty of stuff i want to make.

🙁

My next acquisitions will be Router and Router table....

But the list is pretty endless, I suspect I'll still be buying stuff for years to 'complete' the workshop.....

Jennifer Aniston. All nice and tied up.

Bridport, and massive £100,000 bench dyno.
and a 911

ooh, just remember something else I want is a regulated benchtop DC power supply. Are there cheap ones out there?

Yep if you don't need high current. I have a cheap one from Maplin.

I only need a couple of amps.

this would do it.

I like the voltage range too.

Think mine is [url= http://www.maplin.co.uk/bench-power-supply-with-lcd-screen-219129 ]this one:[/url]

It's useful to have a current read out, so you can see what's going on.

A magic bike stacking thing that prevents pedal-spoke entanglement.

An absolute mint Mk2 Golf 16 valve.

I'd like a wheeling machine (English Wheel)with lots of wheel profiles
A TIG welder and a gas set (more for the gas axe than anything)
A box folder
A parts washer
Spot welder (for the times that a MIG plug just doesn't do it)
Plenty of planishing hammers and stakes
Huge air chambered compressor
Low bake oven
In fact a trolley dash [url= http://www.frost.co.uk/ ][i]HERE[/i][/url] or [url= http://www.machinemart.co.uk/ ][i]HERE[/i][/url] would be a good start............

Lathe & 3D printer

A workshop would be nice

Kelly Brook or Holly so I had somewhere to park my bikes 🙂

An apple scratter to go with the cider press.

me

the good thing with those little dc power supplies is they are great for anodising stuff 🙂

Workshop still under construction (am lining it with 25mm celotex and OSB board at the moment) however, when its finished i'll be collecting the following from my Dads -

Floor-standing Meddings Pillar drill
Myford wood turning lathe
Startrite bandsaw
metal work bench with a couple of monster Record vices
Bambi silent compressor
SIP MMA welder

+ tonnes of other stuff as he is downsizing and giving up his workshop.

Nice compact mill and maybe a smelly old myford

when people say 'lathe' are we talking metal or wood?

I want mine insulated with the same insulation they use in the TARDIS.

(moving into a new shed on Friday and boy it looks cramped. No space for ornamental ladies
