Great looking workspace. I like the large windows, gives a lot of natural light, it seems.

Thanks for looking and commenting, guys. 🙂 The large window is nice, but I wish the room had 2 fewer doors! Spanjaard, the lathe is, unfortunately, over 50 years old, and was used quite hard during its first 15 years. It was given to me nearly 40 years ago, and I did my best to refurbish it, but the ways are worn near the chuck, so it's impossible to set the feed gibs for a good fit for the length of the ways, and it tends to chatter when turning metal. I've mostly used the lathe on wood and plastic, and it's difficult to turn anything much smaller than 1cm in diameter with it. Good eye, spotting Escher on my door!

Album info
My workroom after a major redo (sorry, I didn't take any "before" photos). My workroom is about 13 1/2 feet square, so decently sized, but each of the 4 walls has a door or window in it, so it's difficult to utilize the space efficiently. For years, I had a 6' x 3' standing height worktable in the center of the room, but since I started building models again, I just couldn't find an arrangement that provided me with the work, storage, and display space I wanted. I finally realized that I would have to rebuild most of my work tables, and reorganize my storage to get what I wanted. So far, I'm pleased with the results, and not only have adequate work and storage space, but have about doubled my display space for finished models.
