Workshop update

Man that shop is looking neat now. The biggest improvement to my shop was converting the T8 fixtures to LED. I thought I had a photo somewhere of that but can only find one of the lean to.

yeah i had two weekends cleaning stuff up and redoing the ceiling in my home shop since i had an unwanted guest in my attic that made a real mess of things. i had some long weekends from the holidays to button things up. so for the last month the shop building has been my focus. it sucks having to regroup but being able to move around with out tripping over Sh!t is nice too. now to clean up the mess from me fixing stuff.

Neat !

Spent much of christmas throwing my dad's collection of potentially useful metal things in to a skip. We have concluded he won't suddenly be getting better and returning to his hobbies
And I have decided that even if there was something I wanted, I would get one from eBay rather than drive a 500 mile round trip.
Final tally was 2.75 tonnes of stuff including 220kg of electric motors. Cashed in for £338.
Naturally this excludes all the machine tools and the more interesting engines.
50+ years of having too much space. First a 2-storey stable block, and then a whole spare house and attached barn.

He had 35 electric motors stashed away. (All single phase, that being what he found useful). I have only 8 in my spare bedroom. (all brushless servos, ditto). I may yet catch him up.

Hi,

I have to contribute to this topic also. My workshop size is 1,4x2,1m and I have done some progress today. Added Kallax shelf and workdesk which is of course extra supported from back. Next thing to do is clean up milling machine wiring and move computer and controlbox to top of the milling machine enclosure. Currently I am waiting to arrive beefy 24v power supply to remove all laptop power supplies. I will add another photo when all things are done.

Neat little shop, thank you.
