Let’s see them work benches

Have @ guns on the go 98 on the left an old 50 on right. Love working down here.
The v-block holding the 98 on left is priceless.
The gun rack on left goes closer to edge of table, but using v-block.

The vice with pistol is worth its weight in gold. Tools accessible to both sides. -

Love the Windsor chairs…made quite a few in another life. Always have one in the shop..a spot to reflect..drink coffee, and dream….John

I saw the lathe first and knew you're in UK. Then I saw your name.
My shop gets like that but 2 lathes, 3 milling machines, and 2 drill presses. The workbench and a half is on the other side of the shop with my metal shaper and tool boxes but I don’t have a picture of that. My lathes and the Enco mill are on workbenches.

Have just had a good nose about your shop....a man who's built up that much kit, tooling, and ancillaries on his shelves (including kasenit) must be producing some special stuff.....would love to see some examples 😀

Okay, I'll play. Here's my mess....Bench 2 is just my fill station, the other two (Bench 1 and3) are my work areas. PB Press included in Bench 1.
And YES, I USE all of them, just keep em a tad clean so I can find stuff.

Nice Mike! I kinda figured you for a workplace like that. I'm still trying to convince the wife that it's perfectly NORMAL for a guy to bolt a Vise & bench grinder to the top of a clothes dryer!:p

Interesting... I have the same router sled (from Crafted Elements, I think) and I use it to flatten boards. Never thought to place it in a 'box' for 3D work such as with stocks. Can you give a little insight as to how you hold a work piece in the box to form?
It’s for the inletting. Have to keep the slab vertical with clamps. Do not use it for outside forming.
