BM, I know what you mean about the speed , the old Seiko can be a bit fast at times, so I've learnt to 'feather' it or even turn it by hand, mainly around corners. I've just become so  used to it now. 

But the  fast speed has come in handy too as  I have  also done shade sails, shade cloths etc.

Well, I know this is a champagne problem but, now I have to make room for more tools, materials, and a 3200. The Lord just keeps blessing me.

So, the room is going to revert back to topsy turvy for a minute.

Ok I am finally making some more progress.

The desk is gone and now I have a long narrow cutting area. Although it is covered with leather and supplies. Take notice of the french cleats above and storage below.

The right corner will become the power tool area, it will have to make do being a multi duty spot. Drill press, snap press, belt sander and the like.

Here is a picture of my main work station. Back wall got covered in French cleats.

I fabricated this top this morning. It is a super dense piece of steel grey granite. Very heavy even for granite.

And finally the consew 206rb-1 and the cowboy 3200.

Well, you can't really see them yet, but I promise they are there. Haha

Thanks, this morning I have been going through stuff to sell or get rid of. 

Seems like I'm not willing to get rid of most of it. Lol

I sat here laughing with my morning coffee because I did the very same thing.  Went through everything and pulled out duplicates, sorted them into piles, good, bad and why do I have this, and well, except for the very small ugly pile, I'm just not sure I want to part with them right now.  Its good to have back ups right?  Might drop and break something and then what?  It'll take days, weeks to replace it if I can find what I'm looking for.  Most of my hand tools are ebay finds and are older then me and I'm working on being old.

Your shop is coming along nicely.  You'll get it where you want it to be.  Must say, I am jealous of your heavy iron.  I would love to have a 3200.
