New Yankee Workshop
« on: 26 February 2014, 18:32:44 »

I was watching the show last night , he must have £50k worth of machinery in that shop to help him make everything  :o Makes it look easy as well  ::) Wonder if he ever makes a mistake , everything so precise  ???

yes, but he can also shout "cut" and start again if he makes a Horlicks of it.

I wonder how much scrap there is round the back of the workshop? ::)

Most of us could do some of the stuff he makes with a well equipped workshop , the right tools (and in my case a big packet of sticking plasters ! )

Watched it a few times but, it is much to much of a show to advertise a new fangled sander or gadget and the stuff he does is hardly very advanced (go and find a true time served craftsman in to see what I mean, they do the same and better without owning the full machinery list from the Sears catalogue)

And who would have a shed as big as that to get all the gadgets in , maybe your train shed would be ok but not my 10x8  ;)
