Where do you turn - whatline - 03-12-2017
I turn in my basement. May have to move outside next time I turn Acrylic though. Just wondering if you encounter any "resistance"

My shop is my garage. I have enough space in my 3-car garage to park one car, but when I'm working on a project, everything has to be parked outside. That's the only grousing I might get, and usually it's from myself. With two SUVs and one pickup, one car always gets left on the street.

The garage is the shop. Only once has a car been in it and that was during a hurricane and it was empty at the time. Otherwise I would have a tough time squeezing in a bicycle let alone a car.

I was still on active duty with the Air Force when I started turning. Used our one-car garage for a shop.
After retirement, bought a place in the country that had a 30X50 shop. Got lots of room for all eight lathes.

Separate building behind the house. The only resistance are the stiff hinges on the old door.

I also do wood working from my small garage.
I do think next time I get a small mini or midi lathe I might just keep it so when it is nice I can wheel it outside to turn and enjoy the weather.
So far I have given away 5 lathes and only had to buy 2 at discount prices. I am thinking the next time I see the Delta 46-460 on sale I will try to get a few and keep one.

Basement workshop pretty small but I get by.

Detached 24 by 36 shop. I will be building later this year, and stepping up in size. My flat work tools will no longer be covered with turning tools and stuff... My garage is my office...
