A well-arrangedshop in the cellar is sho\^^l in the illustrations, and fromthese the reader will get a good idea of just what canbe done by using a little care and forethought in makingthe plans. It will be seen that everything is systemat-ically arranged and that every tool has a Fig. 2—A power-driven jig-saw in a workshop If there is a window in the workshop, the lathe shouldbe set up before it, as this offers the very best light pos-sible to work by. If such an arrangement is not possible,a shaded light will have to be dropped on a cord overthe lathe. In this case, it is well to arrange a small boardin back of the machine and place all the gears, wrenches,attachments, etc., upon it Avhere they will be convenientto reach. A small shelf can be placed at the bottom ofthe board to hold tools, reamers, drills and measuringinstruments while the workman is usins: the machine. 18 Model Engineering If the lathe is motor-driven, the controlling switch shouldbe placed so that the operator can reach it with littletrouble, as it is oftentimes necessary to stop a lathequickly, especially in screAv-cutting. Further informa-tion on setting up a small lathe is given in Chapter II. The work bench is an important part of the equipmentof a small shop and should be given caref
