Given that the area is so small I'm working in, I'm quite limited on space for machinery. I'd like to do more than just sit in there sharpening chisels though, so I found this old 70's multi-combo wood working machine for sale. Some of you may know a little about them, they are Austrian made...

We've had a few days of rain and now this... There's a sump in there but unfortnately the bunker is lower than outside, and the drain must be blocked. It's time to call out a plumber I think. Maybe it's a good time to convince the Mrs to let me dig up the floor so I can stand in there and run a...

Lost content, but just a few images to update anyway.... I'm tossing up whether I should buy a bench grinder or a Dremel, hmm. Space permitting which as you can see, is a premium. Also, our walkie talkies arrived today (wife's idea), so she can call me while I'm busy in there on my projects -...

And to bring you up to speed for today, here are some more pics... I've ran power and lighting circuits in conduit, and installed bunker style lights. I'll show a photo later of the light switch, a blast proof USSR switch which luckily, uses the same power as us here in Aus. Also started...

More recently I've gutted the room and have been using up until now for storing paint, roof tiles and some garden tools etc. We've made a bit of a step but it's not so great, eventually I'd like to dig down and put in a full size door and drop the floor inside about 6 inches. Not sure the...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd post some progress photos of my new workshop... We're renovating the house in Canberra, Australia that we purchased about 2 years ago, and part of what I loved was a room under the house which had already been bricked and had a floor. I spent many hours (even before...

Hi mate, Good to see the house is coming along and you're doing better. Hadn't seen you for ages on GMT400 and I only just realised you had this thread it's a good read but took me hours!!
