I just love their idea of using the cannon from the Aircobra up front! That ammo holder is so unique. Lovely model and also a well appointed workshop. I imagine you have more cool tools on the other side:O)

I was puzzled about the cannon until I did a bit of research and found the funny shape of the mag was due to it coming from an aircraft.

Yes I have the luxury of lots of cool tools, in fact over the last few years I have bought just about every Proxxon tool there is

Some of the goodies in the workshop  mind since these pictures were taken it's a bit more lived in and has had a few additions such as a dust extraction system and yes more shelves

Having a few power bench tools does make life a bit easier though I have found that the really fine work has to be done by hand as you cannot beat your own motor skills when finishing off sanding or shaping a piece.

Definitly a well laid out workshop. I aspire to being as tidy and hope to keep my boat building mancave tidy once fitted out. It needs tanking in areas to keep the water out.

goodnesssssssssssssssss grayone  .....

do I count nine [9] Proxxon machinery items in your workshop?........just  jealous ..... Derek

[grayone]

If you were to look carefully there are 16 Prooxon items in the pictures and at least another 10 that you cant see  . My wife thinks I collect Proxxon tools rather than use them

Blimey Grayone, you must Hoover up after every visit to your workshop, what a nice tool collection

It is part of the creative hobby sphere collecting tools and making those odd wonky things that we use a couple of times a decade or just for one job.

More than keeping your tools visible, keeping the benches tidy does prevent damage to larger parts of suprestructure etc..
