For those interested, here is a tour of the Peake Workshop. Some of the pictures are links to another page with more information about them so you can click on them to learn more. I particularly recommend having a look at the modifications I have made to my lathe.
 Above: This is my lathe, a Myford ML7. It was made by the poms quite a few years ago and I was lucky enough to purchase it from a man who used it sparingly. Since this picture was taken I have made a number of changes to this fine machine. To learn more click on the picture.  Above: A Powercraft Bench Drill with three different speeds and a vice for holding the work piece. If you've ever tried holding a work piece by hand and been unfortunate enough for it to grab, you'll appreciate the value of this simple device.  Above: My Clisby compressor. I found this little beast abandoned by its previous owner, so I pulled it to pieces, replaced the gaskets and fixed a few leaks. I've recently had a compressor upgrade (photo coming soon), so this little guy is going to come apart and the motor will be used to make some useful.  Above: 39 pce HSS Craftsman Tap & Die set. Thread cutting is so simple with this!  Above: Chemicals, Treatments, Oils, Paints, Varnishes and an array of screwdrivers.  Left: A vast selection of hand tools and spanners.  Above: A a shot of me finishing off a flywheel for the Model 'MINOR'. |  Above: These three books usually get me out of trouble when I need to know something about manipulating metals.  Above: This Ryobi 2000W Mitre Saw comes in very useful when cutting multiple engine bases (like the ones you may be able to see in the background).  Above: My propane torch is all I need for soldering and heat treating materials as all of the jobs I do are on a small scale. It is also the power source for my furnace.  Above: My stash of abrasives.  Above: Some of the stock used to create miniature engines!   Above: The Ryobi bench grinder is primarily used to sharpen tools |
