I recon that Neil is brave to post that, bet you know where everything is!

Len,

I think it has to do with whether they are stored in your album on ME server or if you host them elsewhere.

All my pictures are hosted on our own servers so we are not reliant on others.

And thank you for the kind remarks on the workshop, I presume you meant the first picture ?

Maybe this thread would be better as a workshop organisation tips thread

At sea we used shadow boards for keeping an eye on and organising tooling

Colour coding of tools can also make them easier to find in a hurry

Hey John

I seem to recall that we had this picture of your workshop after the "GREAT CLEAN UP" a few weeks ago – and very good it was too. The question is – what is it like NOW? You can't keep posting historical data just to impress us!

Good on all you guys with the nerve to share your secrets – I was thinking I needed a clean up but now I feel a bit better about it. The problem I find with the process is firstly that I will come across some long lost bit which diverts me from the task – so it takes ages. Then, worst of all, when I have steeled myself to take a load of "never to be needed" stuff to the tip I will, within a few days, find an urgent need for it.

Ho hum indecision and apathy rules.

Hi Guys
I think I live in a time warp with all my old machines . Shed/workshop needs a good clean Nobby

The photos show my workshop as it was about 10 years ago. later I sold everything

on ebay due to eyesight problems.

I was going to post some pictures, but I don't think I'll bother now I've seen JasonB's comment, as mine is rather untidy in contrast.

Aw, what the hell, in for a penny in for a pound! Here are a couple of pictures of the machine shop:

Not shown are a surface grinder, pillar drill, furnace and welding gear. Can anybody spot where the 18" shaper is hiding? In the second picture the space by the door on the right is where the Britan repetition lathe is going to go, when I eventually pick it up. That explains why the Clarkson T&C grinder is parked in a funny place, as it is being moved.

Here's a picture of the tooling, cutter and measuring equipment store:

PS: The first comment is tongue in cheek: I have a high regard for Jason's work.

Here's mine, having built it my wife looked at it for a few weeks and then said " it sort of reminds me of a signal box" , cant imagine how it ended up looking like that

Ancient Brown and Shrpe horizontal mill has now gone to a new home, other machines are a Dore Westbury Mill, Boxford AUD and a Qualters and Smith hacksaw.

ok chaps, what's gone wrong with my photos?

Hi "Durhambuilder"

You need first to upload your pics to this site.

Log in, go to the top left and click on " My photos" This will ask you to create an album. Just give it a suitable name then go to the tabs below marked "browse Images". Click on the first of these and locate the image you wish to post on your PC. Continue adding images in the other "Browse" boxes.

Go then to the thread you wish to post the image in and, at a suitable point in the text, click on the camera icon. locate the image in your album and click OK and the image will be added to the thread.

I think I'd better have a bit of a tidy tomorrow before taking some pics!

Cheers

Norman

Ah Jason

I guess your process is for pics not stored on your PC?
