Just starting out pics

[kfm]

i thought i would share these pictures of the workspace, tools, and results thus far. ive told people i would post pics on a couple other threads i put up, and so here they are.

this is my little raising stake/planishing thingy.



this is my workbench, pardon the mess.


little brother trying to make himself somthing on the toolcart, there is a powedercoating oven in the background as well as a unicycle, toolbox and air compressor.


here are the two knee cops im working on, one is closer to done than the other. they are my first plate pieces, feedback welcome.


here is a closer view of the knee cop, with a ruler for scale. they are a heavyish gauge, and ive been raising them instead of dishing, as i havent really tried dishing yet....there ya go.



here is a mesquite stump i intend to use for dishing, im not sure what size depression to make, and there seem to be a lot of oppinions out there.



thanks for taking a look

Great pics, thanks I always like to see others work spaces.
You are off to a good start.
You have an air compressor so a small right angle die grinder with thoes small polinshig pads would be cool. I like em.

Don't let my Texas BBQ smoker see that stump....

Good start on the knee cop, looks a little wide or it could just be my eye.

Keep going.
