Morning Folks.
I am expecting to get a lot done today, with very visible results, by the time I head back indoors.
I am really struggled to find any go go juice today,
in fact took ages to drag myself down the workshop,
and only then to paint the work bench shelving.
underside of shelves get a coat
first coat on framework
altho its crown paint
its struggling to cover the wood, now gotta wait for it to dry
So i decide to fit the light that will be over the lathe
The light is up, now gotta unplug the light (as currently on a plug near the door)
and I soon have them wired together and they make it very bright above the workshop
First coat of paint is dry.
So it's time for the 2nd coat.
its covered the wood a lot better than the first coat did
Altho I cant finish this bench for now as no brackets or wood.
the shelves come in handy for those tools I am using a lot
Right lets sort this mess out on the workbench!
That's looking better
double socket ready to be fitted when paint dries
I keep looking at this and am at least gonna have to start going thru this lot,
but not Today!!
The lid is too tall and too wide and would have to have toolbox stuck proud of shelving so off it comes
Didn't realise it had stuff inside
A real Bonus.
in it goes - still not quiet fitting as I want as the wiring is in the way
Norton Commando - It Looks good.
Stephen Osborn - I like it
Maria Jenkin - I like it Fran !!!! Xxxxxx
Stephen Osborn - Always good to here
Gary Seddon - All your shed jiggerypokery has got me going now. Chopped my project up to make storage and a stronger bench!
Stephen Osborn - Sorry Gary (Not Really).
I wire up the lathe socket
a bit of chiselling with my recently sharped chisel,
soon has the wire routed safety out of the way and the bottom wire trunking has its top fitted
Luckily the next trunking cover , just slides down in one piece
I start to put the covering on the roof wire trunking as all wire at this part of workshop is installed.
on goes a suitable bit of hardboard off cut
and it gets its first coat of paint
Cant find a bit for this at the moment,
but sure some will turn up as I start tidying up and sorting thru stuff
up goes the speakers to there permanent new home and the radio
Am having to use the extension block on front of bench for now as new bench sockets not wired to mains yet
second coat of paint to the board that's covering the cable area in the roof
That's were the Allen Keys went!
they not in there now.
As this tool box is for Lathe Tools and accessories.
and this draw was empty
and the top is emptied as well.
Some went straight in the bin,
some in temporary homes, to be sorted out later on
Found these 3 valve sticks - will be on ebay soon
These brake spanners will be on ebay soon
Think this wheel socket if from reliant, will be on Ebay soon.
Gay Gordon gets some more abuse
bit of a tidy up here
and the workshop floor soon looks far better
I seem to be spending a lot of time cleaning up at the moment!
Gay Grahams sucks it all up
and it looks far better
few more tubs found and they slowly filling up with stuff
Norton Commando - It will not take long to have the shelfs filled. If your like me. You just keep finding more.
I want to keep,
but don't have a permanent home for them yet
Right lets put this box onto the workbench
Its full of Lathe accessories
couple missing
but will be on Ebay soon
These not required so going on Ebay soon
Not a clue what it is ?
Too big for my lathe, so will be on Ebay soon
Not a clue what it is ?
Not a clue what it is ?
Alan Viggers - another hand vice
mmm forwards linkage - Triumph T100?
Stephen Osborn - Have a plan for the rose joints....
Most of the Lathe bits now in there permanent home
and an empty box, to show for it
So start to fill it up with items I want to sell on
and it makes a space on the bench storage area
All stuff to do with lathe or be used with
I have been putting of clearing out this area for a while now!
Right lets get started!
Thatss the top shelf empty - some in the bin, but most of it in boxes on the floor, waiting to be sorted
I pull this box out
and lift it onto the bench.
This lot is gonna take ages to sort thru !!
mmmmmm - will go thru,
but suspect most will go in the bin!
John Hayward - Mmmmm junk padlock hinge clasp can be used as a tail piece for scrap guitar
Stephen Osborn - ok m8 i will put in me guitar case for you.
will go thru,
but suspect most from these tubs will end in the bin!
Am being brutally harsh, as I do not have the time or the space to keep everything.
small box of new bolts (but no where to put it yet as shelves not built).
A Few spade fuses found and a small box to put them in.
That's it today, did far more than i planned and am happy, that I am starting to sort some of the boxes out.
Ok some of it will be in temporary homes for now,
but hopefully it will clear space were i want to work next
