Congrats on a new shop! Nice moving pictures, you are lucky to have that lorry. I roll my stuff on tractors :poke: Nice view from the shop. Do I see you making a high volume water pump (possibly bmw v8 driven) in the future, or is my crystal ball reading wrong? That is not unlikely, it is only a chinese copy :lol: |

Very nice Ade... Glad the loading went without issue :thumbup: Sliding mill eh?! :bugeye: Bet that got you twitching too? Great view too.... Nice to be able to access the water so easily..... I'd have the kayak in there :headbang: Once you're settled and we're both not so busy I'll have to come over and see where you're hiding now :thumbup: I'm assuming it's not too far away? Ralph. |

Chris, thanks! It's definitely a decent space - the machines are sat in a 24ft wide section, but I've got another 3ft available in front of the fire door (not right in front of the fire door obviously... how else is the fire supposed to get in?) - current thinking is that's where the saw will live. Or I may have a steel staircase made to make access to the storage space easier... not sure yet. Depth wise is more of a problem, with the amount of stuff I have coming.... but I think I can make it work. Trion - Hmm, lucky isn't a word I'd use about that lorry.... constant financial drain might be a better description! That said, it's properly handy on occasion, just not sure it's cheaper than hiring someone on the odd occasion... Unfortunately, the BMW engine is already spoken for, so any water pumps will have to be powered by alternative means... Danger: :scratch: and :proj: ahead :) Ralph - Me too - and yes, the mill moving caused a major pucker event... The new place is only about 1/2 mile from the old place, so no major worries, and there's a cup of [beverage of your choice] with your name on it waiting for you here... Even if I have to make it with dock water :lol: I always fancied making a model of the submarine from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - mainly because it has windows, and there doesn't seem to be much point in an RC submarine that you can't see out of (with a camera)... |
| AdeV:
Beware the man with a pallet truck! Because you can be sure that trouble lies ahead.... I've been wondering how best to lift the lathe so I could get some rollers under it, to put it in it's "final" position. Eventually, I settled on this setup: Although the motor end was too heavy to lift, it did tilt enough to get a small roller in there; result: A bit of shoving and pushing, and now the lathe is just where I want it :thumbup:. Next job, re-assemble the "kitchen", so I can put a bunch of the tools away, to make room for other tools.... and so the cycle continues... ::) |

Looking good, if you don't have a beam for a hoist, how about a rolling gantry? We have 2 and they are great for moving stuff around. Cheers, Chazz |
