Evening Chaps, :wave: Cheers for the comments, after many years of storing my hand tools in a large Kennady tool box that took up valuable floor space, I have meters of wall space, but you can't stand a machine on a wall, so a few years back I retired the tool box (sort of) and put up the Bott Perfecto wall boards at the back of the work bench, and never looked back . Its, not the cheapest system, being all steel, but it does work well. An example of cost, the clips, single hooks and long double pegs I used to mount the hammers and 3/8 drive gear came to about £35, still cheap when compared to the cost of a good quality tool box. Since using the system, I can locate what I need at a glance, when working at the bench as soon as I have used a tool it goes straight back keeping the bench free from clutter, with the tool box, tools would just build up on the bench, I would be raking through the draws looking for the tool I needed, and I don't suffer from that most frustrating of conditions, stuck draw syndrome, when tools get jammed. Also, clean up is ALLOT quicker, I can see at a glance what is missing. It works well for me. :coffee: Tonight's job was to pipe in the compressor, I found a home for my portable compressor between two of mills, serviceable but not ideal, but it will do for the time being. :dremel: I will tee into here, Like so, It's good to have the compressed air back, I also figured out that with a bit more jiggery-pokery, I will have the room for a blasting cabinet in the workshop, another thing to make. :dremel: Take it easy lads, Rob. |

Evening Lads, :wave: I got to sort out a bit more of the workshop today. I have been shifting the cabinet that I removed from workshop #2 wall to make way for the doorway back and forth since its removal. So what to do with it, there is no wall space for a double cabinet, But I have this space that a single would fit in. Cut it in half :dremel: Fits like a glove :D Well, I did have to remove the belt cover from the 626 mill, the cover is now defunct and on the scrap pile. Well, I suppose I have made a start on the CNC project. :lol: :lol: Cheers Rob |
