Car fixed -- I have work space again!

[johnpipe108]

My 1983 Subaru 4WD Turbo wagon suffered a broken drive-axle on December 23, and took up half the garage space until a few days ago when my son-in-law was finally able to deal with getting the parts prepped by the machine shop and intalling them. Here's some views of the now available again space:



That's looking from where my car was parked; here's from the right side near the lathe:



And here's the turning station, recently cleaned up, re-arragned, and I added a drop light for illumination:



And here's a closer view of my new lathe parts storage:

Very good! I'm sure you're happy to get a shop back. I actually thought you had a better view of the turning station in the first picture....that's it on the very left hand side of the first picture, right? HEHE

...looks like a nice tablesaw!

Cheers,
Chris

Subaru, from the days they were 'inexpensive, and built to stay that way!' - until the $1200 exhaust rusted out.... or whatever

Man, after 5 months i KNOW you must be grinning to get the space back. That's some great news!
