21st february 2014 - Various Hobbies - Workshop Update

Published on 18 September 2022 at 23:11

hello again folks.
I am now in the warmth or the workshop.
The more insulation I get installed and draughts sealed up the warmer and dryer it's getting...

Which for my health is gonna make so much difference.

The way things are going, on really cold days only gonna need heating on for around 20-30 mins before being T-shirt temperature in winter time :) :)

And fingers crossed nice n cool in summer :) :) 

Right let's move on, as usual nothing really planned,

I will just be happy with what I can get done.  

 

 

Some small boxes of stuff,

that I have acquired from "Wombat (Alan Viggers)"

and he had already labelled the boxes

fits here nicely

 

I have been thru this box 3-4 times now and its all going in the bin!
All tipped into an old box and taped up and put in rubbish bag.....

 

 

That's the first bag of rubbish

ready to be taken up top for dustman

 

 

and this empty box can stand outside the workshop for now

( will use in brown shed to put items i want to sell in )

 

 

but I filled this container up !

 

mainly nuts n bolts most are new.

now ready to be sorted

when i get nut n bolt shelf made next week

 

 

custom indicator lens and couple of rubbers.

left over from trike build

 

will be on ebay later on. 99p start

 

 

couple of odd reliant engine/gearbox mounts

from when we owned a Rialto back in early 90's

 

will be on ebay over next few days 99p start

 

up comes the next box
To be sorted thru.

mmmmm I wonder, just how many of these boxes I have ??

Maybe make a shelf and re use them at some stage....

 

 

making some space under the workbench

( need to clear it all out to finish insulating and panelling )

 

 

the workshop top bench is filling up nicely.

not sure yet just how much will stay here as shelf space becomes less scarce.

only time will tell.

 

 

Another box empty and put outside ready to be reused later on

 

 

Temp cover over new side door window -

till I can sort out some thick curtains.

 

Time to do something with this lot as the Big One is in my way

 

The big one, slowly getting uncovered once more..

 

that's the wood out of the way

 

hung up the wood

Here till I get brown shed sorted and it can go in there

 

right lets sort this pile out!

 

 

find some 3x2

 

but more importantly

 

for me

some brackets and some screws

 

Lathe in its new home,

It not only needs a good clean,

but levelling as well, before use.

Alan Viggers - when u clean it don't forget to oil all of it so no rust

 

Stephen Osborn - I wont - plenty of oil I have

 

 

 

this area getting slowly emptier.

 

 

More stuff on the workbench shelving, temporarily

 

now to sort thru this stuff on old plastic shelving

 

 

top cleared

 

 

some went here

 

 

rest went this side

 

 

no drill as it burnt out,

so put all the bits in a tub and binned the case.

 

Will be on Ebay shortly, as GS750 Sold ages ago.

 

 

Will be on Ebay shortly, as GS1000 Sold ages ago.

 

Will be on Ebay shortly - Only had as I used to fit Super dream Reg/rec units to my Honda 550/4 SOHC Chop :) :) 

 

 

that looks a lot better

 

 

Ok piled some boxes of stuff on top of the wood off cuts box for now

 

 

left front foot peg for honda cbr1000f Hurricane (and maybe others)

 

Will be on Ebay shortly

 

now that's more like it.

and is giving me heart to continue as showing on right track.....

 

 

Unfortunately still some large fire proof polystyrene and other bits that I have had to put behind the bike

 

 

Sat down with a bottle of water and decide that the red toolbox can stay were it is,

 

but needs to be higher,

so will build a frame and bolt it into it

 

I would like to keep the lower wall clear, but shelving on upper parts

 

the bushes

from the chop saw - are still good

 

Probably end up on ebay as spares or repair!, shame as could do with it over the next week or so.

I do have another one out on loan, will probably go n collect it if i get held up.

I decide that I will do this part of the roof insulation first,

so after measuring up wood stood in front of side door start to cut it....

but when i tried again to cut wood as soon as it cut sparks and fuse went 

so don't know whats up with it !

Now I am in darkness!

I trace it back to the extension in the kitchen,

unfortunately the freezer is on the same lead, so have to hunt around for a 13 amp fuse!

Now all working again but I have had enough for today.
