2: This is the view turning to the right from Photo 1. I am
right-handed so my precision drill press is immediately to
my right when I’m at the modeling bench. It has its own
task light. Under the drill press is a roll-out storage bin
which holds about 60 stockpiled resin freight car kits. The
lowered area to the right of the drill press was designed
for a full-size belt sander. (Lowering this area put the belt
sander table at the same elevation as my workbench.) I
eventually transferred that tool to my woodworking shed
and now use this area for a soldering station, resistance
soldering unit, and small table saw. The black 3-drawer
tool box on the shelf above these tools provides storage
for the mills, chucks, collets, etc. for my lathe and milling
machine. Those power tools, and a band saw are stored
to the right of this area. The lathe and milling machine are
mounted to boards so that they can be moved onto the
peninsula for use.
