[one_half] The dust created while sanding is a nightmare and gets into EVERYTHING. So, I created a room where the lathe and the stationary sanding machines are separate from the main shop. There is a large hood over the lathe connected to a large fan and other dust collection devices connected to a large vacuum dust collection system.

[one_half_last] This is my “embellishment” bench. I use pyrography tools, Dremel type tools, carving chisels, files and rasps and even high speed dental drills to “finish” the project after turning.

[one_half] Misc. measuring tools, wrenches and chucks

[one_half_last] The tools most frequently used at the lathe are mounted there.

[one_half] Rotary tool rack made from plywood, pvc pipe and the rotors and hubs from an old boat trailer. This allows the substantial weight of the tools ride on tapered roller bearings.[/one_half]
[one_half_last] Everything is close by.

[one_half] The vacuum pump mounting and safety gear nestled in potted plant hangers

[one_half_last] The compressor room. Six inch framing, insulated and then acoustical ceiling panels attached to walls and ceilings.

[one_half] Experiment in progress. Drum on barn door tracks connected to the dust collection system.

[one_half_last] Sanding station. All abrasives and tools in one spot. Supply racks on lazy susans.
