Thank you Ed, happy to find you here

No workshop without a welding station, oxyacetylene in this case..

Two small compressed air canisters: Making of the cart: The basis: The original Légo wheels with a brass axle on those on the left

the small tool chest, brass thickness 0.5mm then folded, and welded and set up

The blowtorch:
On the left, the tube of the main body; on the right, the two fittings for the pipes that will be welded together and spaced apart from each other as you will see in the following post
the main body and the two welded and spaced fittings
Then some accessories to come complete. The dials are of Lego origin

WOW!!! This is next level. Your miniature woodworking is better than my full-scale work!!!

Thanks for the great pics as well, really gives a good look at how you're doing all of this.

What are your references for this, or is it ''eyeballing'' for size?

Those Lego wheels brought back some memories... though I think most of my Lego ended up being chewed by the family dog!

Excited to see this one come together.

Thank you Colin, happy that you like it.

For the dimensions, I can, like the drill or the bench measure the real thing and convert to scale, and I can also estimate the size by comparing it to the models motorcycles I have.
For example:

A little more woodworking A little metallurgy: cutting of two 1mm thick brass washers: then a little cutting: And finally added on their perimeter a brass strip always 1mm and welded.
The gray thing in the middle is a model maker’s grinding wheel with its base, always made of wood, and the 0.5mm brass wall bracket result - sorry, I should have removed the dust

two plastic strips glued on the oil drum to give it a bit of volume making of a vise for the drill: brass and plasticard and the drill finished

Resumption of work on the lathe with a view to finishing it:
Cut into one of the two feet to insert a grid Control Panel:

I don’t know why some photos have rotated and are no longer in the right place...

Work in progress :

This is amazing stuff!! Great use of ''other things'' like the can to make a barrel, and the little cylinders for the welding set up.

That drill press looks real!!

..Thank you, Colin

The metal lathe finally finished:
