Sticky What Machines Do You have?

[Everett]

Wow, I just realized today that I had not shared in this thread like everyone else has, even after years of lurking here, lol. So to be fair, thus far this is what is in my (currently unfinished new) shop, in various states of repair:

Functional (once drywall and wiring in):
- First LC-1-1/2 TS mill
- King Canada KC-1236ML 12"x36" lathe
- Alba 1A 10" shaper (about wartime era)
- King Canada KC-129C 4-1/2"x6" Bandsaw
- Lincoln TIG200 welder
- Ryobi 10" bench top drill press
- More bench grinders than you can shake a stick at

Project Machines (in various states of repair)
-Westward (Taiwanese) RDM270F 20-1/2" drill press
- Speeder (Taiwanese) 7"x12" bandsaw

There are still some machines that I would like to either obtain or build (such as a belt grinder) but will need time and funds to get there, such is the story for most of us. I will never call my shop "done," even after insulation is in, drywall and wiring are done, machines are in place, and tools sorted into cabinets again. That's because as soon as it's "done" then something comes along to need rearranging everything again (new machine, moving, etc.), lol!

We used Rockwool for insulation and 1/4 “ ply on the walls as well as led lighting that makes a big difference we also put in a full size electrical panel because you can’t have enough 120/240 plugs.

I have a 100+ year old Dalton 7 1/4" X about 24" lathe, and a King Industrial 20VC Mill/Drill.

Don't you just love the old iron. My Delta Band saw was procured from the Cub/Scout camp at Bragg Creek west of Calgary when I was 17 years old. It was rusted and slated for the burn pit. I rescued it and cleaned it up and painted it. My father used it as part of an Osprey-II home built aircraft which unfortunately was never finished. I have it here now in Victoria and I hope it will stay in my family forever.

 

[frankonthetis]

Very much so John, as does my son. Just hoping when that time arrives he will keep and appreciate some of my old beauties.

@Farmboy1 for the win....

 

[DavidR8]

I might win for the most stuff in the smallest space.

 

[YYCHM]

I might win for the most stuff in the smallest space.

Bet you I have you beat on that one

 

[Susquatch]

Bet you I have you beat on that one

I might win for the most stuff in the smallest space.

There is a problem here:

Most stuff in the smallest space could be:

Stuff/ft3
Stuff/ft3 min
Stuff max/ft3
Or stuff max / ft3 min

I think you guys are stacking the deck through ambiguity.

Not sure why you would even want to win under any of those measures though......

But hey, I'll play too..... Not gunna bother entering under either ft3 min categories though. Do farm tractors count as stuff?

 

[whydontu]

Two moves ago I had my lathe/mill combo machine and all my tooling in a lean-to garden shed 6’ w x 6’ l x 6’ h, tapering to 5ft high at the lower end of the roof. Walls were covered floor to ceiling with bin boxes on 6” deep shelves.

I suspect that you win by all 4 measures......

I don't know. We're going to have to go through with that get together to see who wins...
