Barnworks shop update

this was the time where the house became uninhabitable an I moved into the shop

which showed that workbenches are great temporary kitchens:

 

the there was really long time no progress, cause focus was on the house, which brings us to the point two months ago, where instead of going on our vacation we made a big leap with our shops.
Beginning by further insulating mine.

and finishing the walls

setting up first work benches and begin wiring the whole shop

having the the wall ducts allow also to semi integrate the air lines

then it was time to set everything up beginning with the 3D Printers

manual machines

followed by the battery powered shit

and the welding table 

then the first cnc machine was ready to get leveled and under power:

and for the first time since I started setting up this machine it got its two vices mounted:

so it can be used soon hopefully and also I can start working on fully integrate the 4th axis.

 

then it was time for the lathe.

getting here under power and leveled was a bit more challenging. then there was another issue. In the old shop I could have a hoist on a roof beam to change the chucks... here not, so I needed another solution:

An old winch, one multifix mount and a pickup crane did the trick

 

During all this progress we also setup my wife's shop with warm and cold water

and what once was my temporary home is now the shelter for our old sofa and her loom

all that was left was to get sone beer and cake

set up the benches 

and wait in the courtyard by the fire with the dog for the friend to arrive
