KVOM's workshop in process
bogstandard:
Don't worry about it K, mine is exactly the same, your shop, like mine, is still in a state of flux, with everything looking for it's final home. I actually did a bit of polishing on mine today, and Stew held it down to stop it walking away.

--- Quote ---I'm wondering, are you planning on bolting that pedestal down? It looks to me like it would be a bit unstable if you pressed to hard when grinding.

I was thinking the same thing earlier, but when I was dressing the wheels I was pressing a lot harder than I would grinding a lathe bit, and it was quite solid.
I can't bolt anything to the floor as there are radiant heating tubes embedded in the concrete, and I wouldn't want to puncture one. If I want it steadier I will just bolt a wider pice of wood to the bottom of the pedestal.

Oh dear!!
Upset Bogs time again.
Not only have you got a workshop the same size as an aircraft carriers deck, we now find out that you've got underfloor heating as well !!!!!!

Before I got interested in machining (last year) I spent a lot of hobby time offroading. Any if you do that you need to learn to fix your junk. So I invested in mechanics tools, and spent a lot of time lying on my back underneath the Jeep. And the house garage is damn cold in the winter, and the floor is even colder. So when we decided to build the addition, the radiant heating was one of the must haves.
The shop got power in February, so I got to enjoy the heat for a couple of months. I kept it at 59F, which feels very warm when you come inside from 35F outside. We turned it off the last week in March.
