    Here is mine. 21' x 22'. Yes it's small. But I work it.



    Yeah, Jason asked for a tour (a few months ago). A few things have changed sense... I built a little shelf above the lathe to stock the blowers, the mag drill and some lathe tooling.

    This summer I would like to set up a separate shop (like Jeff's for only foundry stuff) 10 x 10-ish (in the back 40) instead of using the driveway.

    in my backyard I do have about 2 km to the closest neighbour. But, we’ll see if any spring/summer complaints come in With open driveway foundry use.

    For those that have been following the blower comparison that I am playing with. The small blower with the four stage turbine single phase 120 V. Provides a 5 inch H2O syphon lift. The bigger blower does the same thing at 28 Hz. Using the VFD. At 38 Hz it matches the four stage turbine with two torches.

    This is where maybe I need to put a video together... This big blower is about 33% better on delivery with compressed air at about half the noise.
