Hi David,

The workshop cost me relatively little to set up, as I built everything myself. Most of the tools and accessories I already had from my previous life as a modeller, collected over a period of many years. The exceptions are the Machine shop tools, Lathes and Mill, which I have only recently purchased (Sherline, made in USA, excellent machines for the modeller with a huge range of accessories - you can buy them piece by piece as you afford them).

Yes I have a "lazy susan", I made it years ago from an old record player turntable. Having a ball race in the axle makes it very easy to use. Cost: $0.00, just an hour's work to make. I'll try to enclose a picture - my camera seems to work OK on close-up, just not on longer shots (auto-focus doesn't work any more, and doesn't have manual focus).

Cheers,
Danny
