| Powder Keg:
Anyone have any in their shop? I've got some cheep foam mats. But they are terrible to keep clean. Chips stick to them and they are hard to sweep off. I seem to remember seeing some wood mats in a local shop years ago and I was wondering if any body had any experience with them. They were built like a wooden grate. It looked like you could pick them up and knock off the chips then sweep the floor under them. I might just have to build some and see how they work. Thanks, Wes |

We call them duckboards this side of the water Wes. They also do moulded ones out of rubber. I have a few of the rubber ones behind my shop, as I can't have them in mine as I have a foot drag, and tend to trip up on things like that. Yours if you can pick them up, a little on the large side to go thru the post in an envelope. John |

This is an interesting subject. My 'clean' workshop consisting of lathe and Sally-The-Little-Shaper occupy a bit of space at the head of one garage which has a common floor with the house. The XYL*** is very tolerant but I would really like to keep those chips from spreading around the place. So the question is, do duckboards tend to keep the swarf in one place? ***Ham radio talk, means 'ex young lady' or SWMBO, but I do not always obey so XYL is more appropriate in my case! :coffee: |

Her we go:- my wooden duck board. Advantages:- your not standing on the cold floor: the swarf falls between the slats: cheep to make. Disadvantage:- if you drop something it is not always easy to find and retreave. Hope this helps Stew |
