The Workyard
To provide some shade from the heat of the blazing son and to provide an area also protected from the torrential rain that are characteristic in Thailand we had the rear yard covered over with a huge roof.
I make use of this additional space to expand my working area into. Here are some details of what you can see in the general workyard photo.
First a general view of the left-hand side of the workyard. The right-hand side is taken up with domestic items like tables and seating.
General View Of Part Of The Workyard
On the far right are two steel workbenches I have made. In the foreground is the vice and heavy workbench. This also carries the strip bender which I use foe bending traction engine spokes.
In the background is the topless steel bench used for painting. you can just about make out a front wheel rim on the top.
