Here is a photo of the milling machine - you can see the next project motorcycle frame on the bench in the background on right.

This is the AC/DC 230amp Kemppi TIG welder.

The lathe and compressor and small panbrake.

30 ton shop press and my rather messy at the moment engine assembly bench with stainless steel top.

I guess that is enough - plenty of room for better organisation to take place.
Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Nice space , was the pic of the tig taken with a different camera , as all I see is the red X for that pic ?.
 
Nice workshop. Looks like you pretty much everything you need there.

Here is the TIG welder pic - not sure why the post dropped it out - also forgot to mention the wooden box under the fuel containers is my Lincon Plasma Cutter. These two units are housed in boxes with wheels so I can move them around the workshop to make space and also stack stuff on top of them when I need storage space for a spell. Hence the fuel containers which are for our desert trip this year across the Simpson Desert in Australia.

Thank you for taking an interest, I know I appreciate the forum even though I have only just joined.

Nice space you have there. What is your next bike project? That frame looks familiar, but I'm drawing a blank. Cheers, Mike
 
The frame is for a 1962 BMW R69s. I have not made any progress there as I have been tangled up with work on our slide on camper. The workshop is getting a rearrange soon and then the work on the bike can start in earnest. After the rearrangement I will see if I remember to post up some "after" photos. Things have to be moved around to fit the new lathe I have ordered.

Well here we are in October and progress is being made on refurbishing the workshop. The bike has been cleared out for the moment and we await delivery of our new lathe.
Probably about two to three weeks away.

Here is an artists' impression of how the new lathe should look when placed in the workshop - courtesy of Photoshop.

Then today I purchased a new tool chest - into which I plan to put my tooling and measuring equipment. The toolbox is on a scissor table, so I can move the heavy chucks and tailstock etc around the workshop, without busting my gut.l Here is the new tool box.

So things are coming together - yes slowly but it will all be better when it reaches the next stage.

Cheers
