Starter Shop "ACHiPo"

[ACHiPo]

Here's my "shop". One of the great things about this hobby is how little space it takes up. I've since added a lathe, Watchmaster cleaning machine, and a few other odds and ends, but it still fits nicely in the spare room.

Hey ACHiPo , very nice set up , is that the Bergeon automatic oiler stand I see?? cant wait to see the lathe..looks like your set to go and now that you have caught the disease pretty soon you will be adding a addition to your place for all the future tooling and things, haha Have fun, William

William,
Thanks. I have one of the Bergeon auto oilers that I got with a bunch of eBay stuff, but it needs cleaning and I'm not terribly sure how to use it, so I stick with my manual set.

The lathe is pretty sweet. It is a full Leinen-Boley Reform kit, with collets, saw, jacot, drilling attachment, and a bunch more stuff I haven't figured out yet. I got a great deal largely because it was missing a tail stock, but I located one thanks to Keith WIlliamson of Watch Tools Online, so now I've got a fully functioning kit.

Hi Evan, a fantastic start!
Just be wary of the tool buying bug, I think just about everyone on the forum has it now

Perfect...I love it!!
Very good location too. That window light will serve you well.
Thanks for putting it up here Evan,

When the "disease" gets very bad you will find yourself buying tools on e-bay that you dont need but "they might come in handy one day"
