My new CNC milling machine

[Bernhard]

And here is a work in progress: on the diorama of a clay pit I can present my bucket chain excavator and the Wilfor Powershovel. I will report on the build in due course.



The wall decoration is of course not from Banksy. Our daughters sprayed them on the walls when we moved into the house 30 years ago. For sentimental reasons, I haven't painted over them yet.

Thank you!!!

That worshop is simply a dream.
After seeing the photos i thought i'll need some time to recover now but then saw the last photo with the bucket excavator diorama and realize there's no hope i'll do.

Sixteen years ago or so i helped to rescue an 0&K one in an abandoned clay ware factory.

Here a drone filming, more recently and whithout the excavator but worth to see:

It was not only a wonder to see the old factory and the machines but it had something really beautifulk for a diorama: the factory had a 500mm gauge line that brought the clay from the other side of the Old Rhine where the clay put was. For crossing the river they ussed a small ferry made just to take the diesel loco and a few skips from one side to the other.


The machine was incredible tangled in the vegetation and even a tree 3,5 meters tall had grown between the rails.
I've lost all photos but in 2014 i saw one waiting to be restored at the  National Narrrow Gauge Museum and took plenty of photos of every detail:

But since then i accepted it will remain a dream (... unless i win the lottery and buy a real one.)

I am very impressed by both your workplace (but, eventually, also that i may get the day i win the lottery still even then i don't think you will agree to sell your marvelous work.

Now: no one would dare to create such beauty and not fill the forum with photos, so

WHERE ARE THEM???

B.t.w., keep being so lazy and never cover those graffiti done by your daughters.

[Lawton Maner]

Where's the pizza machine, soda fountain, and easy chair?  But seriously the shop looks like a dream to work in.  Keep the graffiti one day one of the daughters might become famous and you can sell the walls and fund your retirement.

Daniel,
this clay ware factory definitely has character. I especially like the idea with the ferry. I have not seen anything comparable yet.
My bucket dredger is an Ertmer KB 1. The prototype is in the Feldbahnmuseum Wiesloch in Germany and is functional. As a basis for the model I measured it exactly and photographed it.

Lawton,
the equipment important for survival is in the fourth corner of the room, which I have not shown yet.

Hello Bernhard, very nice your workshop paradise, thank you for showing.

Are we related? I've got similar decorations (albeit in crayon) acquired the same way in my backroom/workshop.

O.k., first thank you for your answer, Bernhard.

But i touched the link to your thread and knowing the theme and myself a bit my first impulse was to see how many pages are.
22. That means, if now i vanish for a couple of days everybody should blame you!

You've made my day+++!

Huge thanks!

When, after seeing the prototype and spending a long silence looking at each other, my eyes concluded  it was not doable for me so i started to look arround and found in an old (O&K?)  catalogue a photo of a small dredger at work and i fell in love...

... and decided to build (my version of) that scene in a dedicated diorama.

But still my eyes where turning to each other so i decided to model the escene but replacing the dredger by a more modest version...

This one looks too childish...

... but this one more acceptable...

Still, it would take too much room with the boats and  a necesarry track along the bank where a piece of portable track and a portable swith should be completing the work, plus, of course a serious wall of tall trees and greenery at the other side. Probably the muses took pity on me and sent me a solution...

Yes, you all may laugh loud, no problem, but is going to be and if i don't succeed i have already a couple of alternatives:

Very interesting pictures Daniel. Tanke for sharing. I have downloaded them. Maybe one day I will build one of these machines.

[Daniel]

Great Bernard.

I have some other interesting photos of other machines but want to ask this rime if you want me to post them here or send them to you trough p.m. Let me know.

Here just two examples

.. and some other dredgers...

Just let me know.

[Bernhard]

David, I'm sure such photos are also highly interesting to other members of the forum. But I would suggest posting them in a separate, new thread. I'm already curious.

Bernhard

[Daniel]

Bernhard

O.k., i'll do that.


'David'  :-)

[SandiaPaul]

Very nice workshop! Of course I love seeing the model work but in many ways the pictures of people's shops are even better. Oh, I spy Huletts!

[Bernhard]

Paul, I also always like to look at the workshops of other modelers. That gives me an idea of what I absolutely have to have.
And yes, good eye. A Hulett ore loader in 1:32th is my current project. The construction of the lower part with  gantry, lary car and bunker is mostly finished. Besides that I have started to build the trucks.
I will start a thread about this build soon.

Bernhard:
     
     Your new cnc mill is a 3 axis engraver which is good for larger scales.  I work in 1:48 and don't feel I need a table as large those who are working in larger scales.  For the immediate future I need something to mill and bore rivet patterns on pieces to join parts for a couple of bridges I want build, along with a model of the East Broad Top's Timber Transfer.  I feel a regular mill with cnc capability is enough for me as I am used to counting revolutions on a standard mill.  Any suggestions?
   
     Additionally, what software can you suggest?
