Dam it Rob...

22 individual tool holders I covet that flexibility well done on the score... What gives with the fruity coloured tape ball hanging underneath the megawatt die handle ?

Well that's four more wall cabinets built up and fixed to the wall of workshop #2




Things went smoothly for change , as I only had to remove an existing shelf ,no lights ,sockets or air line to move   .So that just leaves two more cabinets  to find a home for .

Looks good Rob, very neat.

I know the perfect place for the lonesome two.....

I'm sure you'll find wall space for them.....       ( ahem, if you dont....etc. etc...)

[RobWilson]

Cheers John 


IF I cant find a home for them you can have them for 1269 Rupees each  , but I think I may have just the spot for at least one of them 


In other news , how you fixed for VFD's mate  ?  may need another same as last .

[John Rudd]

Rob,
Sorry all my vfds have gone to good homes....sad really, as I had to pay full wack for one for my new shiny 626 mill...

1269 rupees? How much is that in beer tokens....

[RobWilson]

Hi John

No wonder at the price you where knocking them out at

any ideas ? 

  I should have seen that coming.

Here goes - it has to be something that can be accessed from the bottom or a slim space at the top.  How about rags for wiping up - they could be pulled out through a suitable hole.  Or a kitchen roll - or something similar but larger.  Are there any liquids you use a lot - a tank for something?

I have a smaller space behind shelves created by a pier on the wall and I've got an old fire extinguisher in there as an air receiver.  You could probably get an old gas bottle in your space as an air receiver - with a drain on the bottom.

.....  Are there any liquids you use a lot - a tank for something?.......

Could you mount a polypin of (operator) coolant? (only to be used after the end of the working day of course)

I dont know ,just live with it I suppose    , any ideas ? 

Could you stand tall bar-stock in that corner, using the cupboards as a "lean-to" to prevent them from falling over/rolling away? Welding rods maybe?

Rob

Ah that was the mates rates price....

How about a small stove for those cold wintry days like today...? Brrr

My feet are freezing after spending all morning at the lathe making swarf from a 6" bar......

[RobWilson]

  Cheers Lads


I think I will just stuff long things up the hole , and let the space develop into a spider farm

What you need is a rubber mat John , much much mach MUCH ! better to stand on than cold concrete  ,well unless you fit a hypocaust 

Well if you come across any more giz a nudge mate  , as I am thinking of using the VFD and motor on my long dead 626 CNC conversion

It's not a real farm if you just let things happen - you ask Andrew!

Evening Chaps ,

I found a place to mount the last two cabinets today , the location 



A bit  of prep required ,remove air pipe ,socket and the crap lying about the area .




I had to cut a section  out of one of them as it covers were the power and air comes in from the other shop , also the new three phase supply will come thought there as well .



Still lots to do around the shop 

Cheers Rob

[Brass_Machine]

Wow Rob. I am supper impressed with what you are doing in your shop. Making quite the progress there!

Eric

[RobWilson]

Cheers Eric 

Still allot to do  I would rather be machining ,but needs must .  My three phase DB arrived today and having no room to store it thought I may as well stick it up on the wall .

The Feng shui meter says it looks good here .



The panel still needs populating  ,I only have the two 16 amp MCB's at the moment one for lathe and other for the new compressor .

 I was  planning on doing the wiring over the end of year  holidays ,so that gives me a month to collect the rest of the gear .




I have mounted the panel about 30mm off the wall so I can drop cables down the back .
