Workshop FINALLY finished!

Ok, here is a picture of the completed workshop. I have been working on it for some serious time now.
In order of appearance (well some are covered or can barely be seen), from left to right:
Desk
Working table
155 cm Belt grinder
Electric kiln
Buffer, circular grinder
Three propane forges (one for steel making, one upright forging, and one all purpose horizontal, with needed hood)
Japanese style anvil
20ton air over hydraulic press (under cover, see previous post)
Huge, old rolling mill (see previous post)
Jeweler's precision table saw
Smaller belt grinder (behind curtain)


The staircase leads up to a smaller area (this is a loft kinda space), where I will be building a togidai, and moving all work that requires extra clean space (like final polishing and woodwork).

I know this a tool gloat post, but it has taken me plenty of time and effort to set all this up. 
Not to mention some cash, and a lot of friends' assistance (especially an electrician friend from Switzerland who set up the inverter, the temp control panel for the kiln, and a proper switchboard for the rolling mill).

Ok, lastly here is a pic of the finished rolling mill, 
with new paint job, proper switchboard and safety accessories fitted.
