Re: Workshop growing nicely
seems I have been shamed into it.
Sorry for the crap photos, and after seeing how good some of that kit looks in other peoples garages I'm not sure I want to share my poor relation kit :witless:Attachment 20237Attachment 20234Attachment 20233Attachment 20236Attachment 20235Attachment 20237Attachment 20234Attachment 20233Attachment 20236Attachment 20235
Plan is to do a big clear out, put up new work bench, clear out old work bench and have lathe on the 2nd one, and control units/PC's on the shelf underneath (hopefully cables will reach!)
Next will be welding up a few wheeled tables, one for the granite plate and one for the band saw so I can shift them round the workshop.
Then I will plumb in the new air compressor into some semi perm lines, also adding in my new lights (LED panels) and sockets around the garage.
Finally I plan to dramatically cut down on the stuff stored on shelves, and instead buy a few cheap steel tables, stack them on top of each other and secure together, create a lower skid on wheels that the lower table sits in, then use some cheap roofing sheet (painted steel) to turn them into large mobile cupboards - that way I have the same storage, but it can be moved round the garage unlike shelves - I plan to be doing CNC woodwork and CNC metal work and some motorcycle maintenance (on my own bike), so I need to be able to shift stuff about as my garage isn;t big enough for all three as permenant set ups - but I can temporarily block in equipment I don't need.
I also added the only thing I have made on the novamill - it was a little computer game logo into a medallion for my little lad - just used some scrap galv steel sheet I had - dodgy work holding, but the vice crushed it and I dont have a sacrifical alu pallet etc yet - though it is on my list of things to make.

There's clear floor space!
Where do you find that?
Re: Workshop growing nicely
Awesome, it can all be improved. I need to move Thor inside so the bit of space I have made will be lost but will need to manage somehow.

Re: Workshop growing nicely
Got the hydrovane up and running before, it is so quiet compared to my old cheapy compressor. No where near as loud as a vacuum cleaner, maybe a similar volume to a.hair dryer. Made up with it.
Re: Workshop growing nicely
Little update video - will try to pull a series together over the coming months as I get more set up. This is my bandsaw cutting aluminium.
