Today is not a good day,
woke up in a fowl angry mood and soon went downhill from there,
When I am like this its best I am on my own as likely to lash out big time at smallest wrong comment.
Sorry for the size n quality of some of these pics, They have been recovered from 3 faulty hard drives and the best pics So far recovered.
These were the originals, so I am unlikely to find any better size or quality, but there are Zip Filed folders, that I hope can be recovered with better quality pics.
We will just have to wait n see......
Michael Osborn, came down for a bit to give me a hand to move the wood and to take stuff that has bids on Ebay,
up to the Computer room for me.
Where a session with the hand saw took a bit of the edge of my temper
Having Michael with me,
allowed us to pile the 2x2,
nicely were I was building the shelving
But for now its out of my way...
This chop saw has a bid on it -
so to computer room it goes
The welder has a few bids on it -
so to computer room it goes,
After as my health has deteriorated, the fumes and shaking hands make it impossible to use safely.
The old Ammo Box has a bid on it -
so to computer room it goes
These forks, no bids yet.
but a few questions to answer,
so to computer room they go.
welding Mask has a bid on it
so to computer room it goes
This box of bits go to the computer room.
To have there pics taken and listed.
These lathe bits have some bids on it.
so to computer room they go
Bit of a mess,
but not yet found an empty gallon can for this old engine oil
box of stuff I brought back from Maz's waiting for me to sort out
I put the boxes back on top of the bench,
I was hoping to have most of this lot in there new homes this week,
but like all best plans, It has not happened
this lot can stay here for now
I have had to move The Big One back to make some room to work in
Norton Commando - I am doing the same with my 07' Triumph Thruxton 900. I just ordered a new front tire and tube today. Plus I need to get her washed and polished up. If the outside temp will rise above 0c. SPRING is on the way.
I decide, instead of keep moving the 2x2 batons about,
I had better use them,
so this is the last bit of the roof,
waiting to be lined, insulated and batons to fix the hardboard to to be done
I have had enough of using the hand saw so I pull out the new chop saw I brought earlier today...
Even read the manual, and its soon set up ready to use
Norton Commando - What a beauty. All shineny and new.
Stephen Osborn - Not anymore its covered in sawdust already
Right gotta move these rag tubs
the first roof baton and 1st time i use the new chop saw is to cut this joint
with some genital persuasion with rubber mallet its soon in place and screwed in
next is this end, the roof board will fit in between two bits of 2x2 so there will be an overlap,
which I will look at when done and everything cut back,
to see if I can think of a way that will not only be strong but look ok as well
The single roof truss gets another bit of 2x2 screwed to it ,
to bring it level with the ends
two 2x2 off cuts screwed together and slightly shaped fit across were two roof panels join
same here, using my last two angle brackets
this roof truss i Have installed is 4 foot from the side wall
I double it up which leaves me a nice channel to run wiring and fit ceiling sockets
I pull out my fireproof polystyrene off cuts box
and cram in 100mm thickness of polystyrene inside the roof liner and fold the excess roof liner over, to hold it all in place
this side next
and do the same here.
Looks a bit of a mess, but in small areas it uses up the off cuts and helps to save money, and of course its all covered up..
the box now a bit emptier, hopefully will use this lot up under the bench next week
Stephen Osborn - I know, I was tired !
Right, I have come to a natural stop on the roof for now, as I will need a 8x6 foot 50mm thick polystyrene sheet,
but not got room for it yet, I cant be arsed to move stuff out from under the bench, so decide to do a bit more on this small bench
On goes the 4 way gang and wire fed thru the frame
not got proper cable holders,
so use 2" nails bent over with mole grips
and do the same up this wall
I give the top shelf a good coat of paint
and start to cut up some 3x2 timber that I find outside the workshop, for the bench top
The woods still wet inside,
but with heater on in here whilst i am working it will soon dry out
and the tops soon done, I
cant plane it back as its got loads of staples in it,
I have given the new bench a good coat of paint
And part of the side gets its first coat
and part of the front as well
this roof support gets its final coat
as does this back shelf support.
That's it for today, i feel I have just had enough, so probably gonna be tea bath and early nite - ready to get back down the workshop tomorrow.
I was hoping the workshop, would be finished and the end of Feb, as I had planed on starting work on The Big One for most of March, but its just not happened, so with the other jobs piling up on me am getting further behind, instead of getting caught up or even ahead of myself for once
