20th January 2014 - Various Hobbies - Workshop Update

Published on 3 February 2023 at 06:45

With other stuff to do this morning it was around 2pm before I got down the workshop.

First job is to plane this bit of wood with the electric plane

Janet Lawton - you take it easy mr c big hugs xxxx

Geordie Dave - MIGHT WANNA TAKE THAT SCREW OUT FIRST THOUGH EHH .

 

OOOOOPPPPPs

well its been about 5 years since I last used the planer.

but it still looks better than before.

Next onto the new door frame top
Just a light planing to get the two bits of wood smooth and as square as I can

Glad I not using an old fashioned plane

and considering its been stood outside for 6 years or so

John Hayward - nice piece of saple mahogany mate..... bit of work and it would make i nice didley bow

Its hard to think just how rough this wood was

Now onto the sides of the door framework

Not too much to do and have the plane on lowest setting

I am now ready to start on the door frame,

when Strawbs is able to come over and give me a hand.

The new workshop hoover

Gets a workout

Time to move these bits of wood

Up goes the shelf brackets

Cant really get into the brown shed at the moment,

but this bit of shelving was not too far in the shed,

its 2" wider than I really wanted but it will do

All screwed up and ready to be filled up

Was gonna mount this light, but its too bloody long
The others are also too long so gonna have to buy some 4 foot ones

So I decide to see just what i can put on the shelf, unfortunately these are to big

But this box of stuff that's sat on top of the Big One looks a good candidate

Broken box in bin liner, and a cheap plastic bin liner partially filled,

still room for more rubbish tho

Starting to fill up the shelf, probably none of it will live here permanently,

As at moment just trying to get stuff of the floor.

Another rubbish back now has a crushed up empty box in it and just waiting to be filled up

The Big Ones starting to become clear

This box of bits fits in here a treat

the 2 cans of oil and antifreeze fit in here for now

This socket only has one that's working and would like to remove it, but

its wired into the back of the cooker socket

So I suppose I better start on the wiring

This gang - will be for the 24 hour live feed - just took pick, so i get wires the right way around

mmmmmm

this box will stay here for a bit

These bits were laying on top of The Big One, so in here they nice n safe

The Big One, is even more exposed now,

am thinking about ways to clear other stuff around it,

so i can pull it out and finish panelling behind it.

This extension lead, will be cut up and used as main wiring for workshop

This 2 x 1 gets a load of cup hooks screwed into it

This end just dont line up, so i cut the offending bits off

but the baton behind is now in the way, so gonna have to carefully pry down the roof panelling, so i can get in and sort it out job for another day

the 2x1 with cup hooks gets screwed into this channel

and the main socket wire gets pulled thru

I found these bits of trunking in the brown shed

and soon have some screwed above the door

and feed the wire thru

labeled, so i dont forget what its for!

I wire into the rcd unit the socket wire

Then i decide that i want a double socket in the ceiling

and a 2nd one.

Will remove the batton next time im down the shed.

Its neary 7.30pm and my chest is very tight so gonna call it a day and after tea have a nice hot bath and hopefully a early nite
