Here's mine, only problem is its upstairs so everything has to be dragged through a hole in the floor or up 5 stairs. Getting the lathe and tractor up was a bit of a pig. I keep woodwork kit on the left and metalwork on the right.
This shows the opposite direction, the drum kit was a surprise present from my folks, haven't played it much but the kids love it, the barbie castle in the corner is there's - honest. The girls play with that while I tinker with the tractor if I have to look after them, usually lasts about 30 mins before they get bored.
Cheers

The tractor came through the hole in the floor on a winch, it was a tight fit and had to wiggle it a bit to get the axles through.
I think I will reassemble it downstairs once I've renewed all the seals etc.

Correct 
It's a 1964 super dexta that I've had for about 8 years but just got around to taking it apart and rebuilding it. Doing as much as I can upstairs before taking it into the barn downstairs to assemble it in about July time - hopefully......
next door neighbour reckons I won't have it ready in time for haymaking so a bit of a challenge on.

I will update, as I've moved lair, and I dont seem to have posted it.
First the original house was starting to feel a little cramped with two kids, two vans, a camper, the mrs's car, my landrover etc etc. Needed more space...
So bought this place :-
From this
Bit of fettling with the jcb...
Along the way
Some essential services (three phase, 6 stp cat6 wires, water, waste water)
No foundations, so underpinned it while i was at it
Geotextile round a stone french drain subfloor
DPM, Poly underfloor insulation, mesh and ufh pipework, the concrete was ordered with fibres in it too.
Concrete truck turns up, but nobody else to help, but somehow I get it all down and dragged about and tamped, then float it into a smooth surface but not a polish (not wanting a ice rink when wet...)
You can see concrete boxes round the edge which has steel reinforcing for the underpinning boxes too. Just started to make a bench...
Starting to fill up.
Santas sleigh was a bit heavy this year though
Bit of tlc
Finally got round to greening my halfords toolbox to match at the same time as the grinder tlc
Got to get a wiggle on and block in and concrete the big barn in the first pic still as a old 1000hp H&F dynamometer has followed me home to live in it, been building a house to live in next to the workshop from a old tractor shed in the meantime with my own not so fair hands, which should get finished this year, then Im going to break down and PAY someone to render it while I disappear in the shed never to be seen again except to come out to collect ebay deliveries.
Not all hard work and no play though

You like green then
, even the ts gets it lol , you have a lot of kit there , now i have kit envy Haha, I had to think about which was the ts as thats a sp400, and it was that colour when I bought it about 15 years ago. Probably what set me offYou like green then
I just bought a can of own brand direct on metal olive green from the local diy place, and each year did a bit more as I always seem to be rehoming stuff thats battered and unloved and it stood coolant and use really well and it was easy to buy more to match.
