    When i build something i tend to go for overkill! The OSB-sheets are simply there so i can mount anything wherever i want, i actually hate drywall since it's so fragile but i need it for fireproofing. What kind of work on the icebreakers? just curious. Btw, i've been looking at your garage and...

Capstans / turret lathes are lots of bang for the buck but not all models are sutable for a homeshop. I have a Storebro GK195 and a large Köping support lathe at work to take care of the jobs the...
