Well I just think it is so sad Bogs that Bernd has so few tools he cant find them! :lol:

But you know those Americans are such resourceful chappies,  I remember a Popular Mechanics series which showed how to grind a file to make a knife and how to use a knife as a screw driver.  There was another about how to sharpen a screw driver to become a chisel but I am still waiting to read how to make a file from a chisel.

Bernd,

You could rent half that space you have out to raise workshop cash, and still have an obscene sized shop.

I dont know about you Mr Bogs but I fear I am just a little jealous!

We used to have sheds that size when I lived on the family farm but somehow even they were a little cluttered,  a combine harvestor, a couple of tractors and a few generations of the family car tend to do that.

Bernd, enjoy your good fortune! :beer:

No, it isn't jealousy John.

Bernd and myself have a bit of a banter about it.

I begrudge no man anything that he has (except for a few who I begrudge even breathing). What a man has made from life is his own and his to enjoy, unless he has made people suffer for his gain, then the breathing thing comes into it.

If I could do it I would, just like most people.

Enjoy it while you can.




BUT THAT DAMNED WORKSHOP IS STILL TOO BIG FOR HIM TO HAVE. IT SHOULD BE MINE, ALL MINE.  :bang:

:lol:

This will be a bit off topic, but will be quick.

The reason for the large space was I wanted a ranch house and a large basement for a large modle railroad. Instead I got more interested in model engineering. I'll post a few pics in the Watercooler of what my large space looks like now.

Bogs, so far the only one that has suffered is my other half. That house has been a 12 year project so far and it's still not done.

I can rent you a good space if you ever decided to stay over here on holiday for a few weeks. Room & board are free. Oh and doggy treats for Bandit come along in that package.  :D

Stew, I'm trying to turn that huge space into an orginized machine shop. So far I've failed.  :bang:

Bogs,
I liked that a lot. I will be copying it soon. Thanks for the tip!
What is it that you have above your collet rack and under what looks like some boring bars? They sort of look like rubber drums in different diameters. Are they sanding drums?
Thanks again.

Fred,

They are in fact straight shank expanding mandrels plus a few other specialised bits and pieces.

http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Expanding-Mandrels

These were all bought when I was setting up a quick turnaround high precision workshop, but unfortunately over the last few months, that idea has had to be shelved because of personal family problems, and I don't think the idea will be resurrected at any time in the near future. I suppose they will get used in my general workshop machining from now on, if the need arises.

Bogs,
Sorry to hear about the problems! I hope that they are all in the past, and everything is better now!
Thanks for the reply and I will look at the link in a minute.
Regards,
Fred
