The lab

My desk. Ann sits off-camera to the left.

The workshop (not large!)

Left to right: bandsaw, cheap and tacky stand drill, lathe, Modela. Wish I'd bought a proper mill-drill while I had the money

The lathe

Did you know that a lathe can be used to make a lathe? An early self-replicating machine!

Lathe turning down one of Lucy's eyeballs

Roland Modela milling machine

Only any use for soft materials but fantastic for making complicated brackets and moulds. Also has a 3D scanner attachment

Modela routing a PCB

Now I can design, cut and drill a PCB all in one process - no messy chemicals. Pity the PCB design software was so buggy though!
