Early in my carpenter career I worked for a compony called Panalpina. All I did was build shipping crates for oddly shaped and sometimes huge stuff. The only interesting part of the job was trying to guess what the stuff was we were crating up.

Lots of Kobalt gear I see, let me know how those hold up.

The blue stuff is Canadian Tire Mastercraft. Which is likely different from the US Mastercraft brand. Not sure what Kobalt is.

The only real tools in the photo are the mini metal lathe by Proxxon and a higher end 3D printer from Makergear.

Ah, Kobalt is the house brand of Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse, their trademark colors are royal blue and grey.

I love it and your workshop

The back room of a much larger building, which gets the distinction of being "room that is tolerant of dust". The 3D printer also lives here because it's noisy. ;)

Will the dust bother the 3D printer? I don't have one but they look kind of delicate.
