Oh also forgot to reply to this one

Was surprised no provisional space for a 4th axis.

There is a big area still unused just below the main electrical cabinet. It originally housed the transformer but now is just full of chucks and old lathe turrets etc until I get my workshop tidied up a bit and find some place to put them.

Now wait just a minute......... now your talking about my space.  Where will I put my sleeping bag if you go and fill it up with drives and such? I just got a mansion with new sliding glass doors, new paint, upgraded wiring and expanded sleeping quarters...... so I thought.  Life just isn't fair.

You wont have time for sleeping, you will too busy tidying up the workshop and if you do a good job I may let you do a couple of spreadsheets :-)

   Your too kind Hood.

Been doing a bit of tidying as the workshop has been much more of a mess than its normal mess
Space is limited but I wanted to get something set up as close as possible to the control panel and height setter as I could for the collet holders. I made up a plate out of some 10mm steel plate I had and have enough storage for 8 tool holders plus one place that has dogs welded so I can loosen/tighten collets, it doesnt take up too much room and should work out well. Will paint it later as I still have a few bits and pieces to paint but will wait until everything is ready so that I dont have to mess with mixing the two pack paint a few times.

Nice!

Nah, it's just an excuse to show off all those spare drives and motors he's hoarded.

I hear there's a Discovery Channel trailer parked beside his shop....they're shooting a new reality show:  "Scottish Servo Hoarders." ®

Just as long as they stick to the workshop and dont look in the spare room in the house, they would be a week or more filming there

Very Nice Hood!  That will be handy as a side pocket. 

Brett

Might want to put some cushion between the tool holder and the pocket. Machine vibration may chew up your tool holder rubbing against the steel pocket.
