Why are you even asking? for $100 Canadian you could break it for ten times that.

Found the pics I wanted,

Back in 2012 I decided to scrap a 2 meters between centers TOS lathe for a few reasons the main ones being it was taking a lot of space up, it had some wear and it was attracting the wrong sort of work [ 1 tonne armatures etc ] when it was working which wasn't often.

Once I had started on the project it soon became obvious what the "it will come in handy one day" was.

Virtually all this had been there that long I had no idea it was there so it got skipped.

Machine dragged out and loaded up for a trip to its new home.

The scrapyard.

Which left this.

So once the cupboards had been scrapped, racks moved,  we got to the relevant part for this post.

3 metre long bench out of 40 x 40 x 3 stick welded with a crappy buzzbox as I couldn't get any of the hard wired Migs into this shop.

And I finished up with this,

Laser cutter on one end, bolt rack on the other and space for two working small CNC's with the keyboards on slide out trays on top of the toolboxes. Various metal short end drawers at one end, wall painted and all new electrics plumbed in. Unfortunately it has got to come out in the grand down size and it won't go in the new shed in one piece so I reckon a quick chop with a 1mm slitting wheel where it changes from cupboards to open space where the tool boxes fit, move in two pieces and stitch back together again and a swift repaint to credit a brand new workshop
