My Workshop

Hello, my name is Valeriy

I would like to acquaint you with

my workshop, which is near the canal shore.

These are the grounds of the factory "Red Triangle."

The factory itself is in such a condition

as if the bombings of Leningrad

had finished only yesterday.

This year, one of the buildings saw its roof cave in.

It could not withstand the weight of the snow, which no one saw it fit to remove.

And here is the bridge between

two of the buildings.

It resembles a deadly attraction.

Would you dare a walk on something like this?

And this here is -our- building.

It has a somewhat more..

presentable look.

Here you can see my windows.

Near this building,

there is a cement factory. Perhaps for ecological reasons...

...and here is that very same door.

the one we must go into. and climb to the third story.

...and here's the place where the epicenter of the fire was.

The fire I wrote about after New Year's.

No one saw it fit to remodel afterwards...

Which is why the atmosphere reminds one of the game 'Stalker.'

With long, dark hallways, peppered with graffiti,

And towards the door leading to my workshop.

All that remains is to open it with the magic key.

Let's go in there and have a look around.

The workshop has equipment required for works

of almost any complexity.

The lathe is a mighty fine one...

... an oldie but goodie.

As for the mill - it's a bit disappointing...

Made at the Yerevan factory.

The Armenians only have good radio. Everything else... meh.

For the mill, a bunch

of accessories. Mill bits, drill bits, etc.

Too much to list.

An ordinary drill press, needs no explanation.

And here's the bench.

Usually it's covered in junk. But today I just cleaned a bit.

Polishing and grinding machines.

On these shelves, various scraps that might come in handy one day.

I have so many sundry electrical tools, that sometimes it seems like the only thing missing is...

... an electric chair!

And another, spare bench.

From here you can walk to a little kitchenette..

The top is covered in various lacquers, paints, and

... and other chemistry.

we even have everyday appliances like a microwave

toaster, teapot, all the basics.

For my creations, I had to make additional shelves.

There are no more places to cram them.

All the neighboring tenants and their guests come here, as if it were a museum.

Perhaps it's time to sell tickets.

And of course there are living quarters.

Where you can lie down

... and not even need to leave at all.

And a table, with a computer.

... how could you do without that!

Internet, too.

And that's all...

I hope you enjoyed it. Till we meet again.

Oh, and if you hang a dartboard on the door, it will make people knock first!

Until next time!
