1st March 2014 - Various Hobbies - Workshop Update

Published on 24 September 2022 at 12:42

Another month has gone by and the 3-4 workshop refurb enters its 3rd Month
enough of that,

lets crack on as today's a really busy day with listing items on Ebay and Items ending,

so hoping tomorrow will be a busy day processing them ready to post on Monday.

Up goes the roof liner

Andrew Smith - Its looking good and its going to be toasty warm next winter.

 

Stephen Osborn - it already is - not had heater on for last few days

 

I move the hardboard on top of The Big One

So i have room to get the fireproof polystyrene insulation in the workshop

and have room to measure n cut

up goes the first piece

then the next one soon follows

With Michael's help we cut n screw up the hardboard cover,

but he didn't manage to stop me from shaping the wrong side

it soon has its first coat of paint

ceiling wise, that just

leaves this lot to do,

i just don't know how to do it at the moment.

From the old pillar drill unit,

I destroyed ages ago

I soon have it removed from the old top and tacked in place on the small bench

Looks better,

just making sure there's enough room on the bench for the vice.

in goes the first shelf

As i will be using this bench with angle grinder amongst other things, the blue boxes will be filled with grinding/cutting discs and the 3rd one will have any grinder/portable drill tools

oops forgot to check to see if its level

up goes the next one

and finally the top one, all off cuts,

including the wood for the shelves

Not sure yet what will go in the grey boxes,

but sure I wont struggle to fit them

The vice is bolted in and done up real tight
and now ready for use

Although more painting is needed on the bench.

the hand drills in there home

I have a cunning plant, to tidy up this area, but will it work !

the top 2x2 is well n truly screwed in place

then another 2x2 is screwed below it

bummer forgot about the bloody wires
The Blue socket wire is easy, i just remove the last temp socket and feed it thru.

The white cables, not gonna be so easy tho as its in use for the only 2 lights currently working and they are over the workbench.

the mains cable tunnel covers, will have to come down

It don't take long, but its too dark to unplug the lights tonight.

So will do it tomorrow first thing
That's it for today, my legs n shoulders are giving me real grief,

so soon be a bath, guitar practice and bed
