Having failed to move into a new, larger, workshop, what better way to celebrate stuffing the quart back into the pint pot, than buying another machine? Preferably, a big one....

Now I can fold up to 4ft of 2mm steel, which should be more than plenty for doing most of the Jag work, which is the reason I purchased the beast. Unloading it was entertaining, to say the least, given that it weighs the better part of 1/2 ton, and is massively front heavy. Still, it only fell over once, and did more damage to the floor than to itself, and almost no-one was killed in the process, although much swearing and cursing was involved.
Now to learn how to make boxes!

Snap! The brother (or sister) of mine !

Looks a well made beefy tool.
I have same trouble, all I can say is base what work you need to do and keep machines used easily accessible.
Throw the rest outside, temporary of course.

Hmmm nice folder Ade, you can do a lot with that....
I miss using the one at work now I'm retired.... :doh: oh and the guillotine.....

So when are you going to move to being a full race car part production shop?

Ade,
you timed that just right my Mrs is doing Christmas crafts and needs someone to bend the cards :lol:

Nothing like having a big bender in the workshop! :thumbup:
Nice bit of kit.... While you're in the mood to buy astonishingly heavy machine tools, could I interest you in a circle cutter able to create a 36" circle in 1mm ish steel!?
:)

LOL - Have you still got that thing! It might come in handy for cutting the round vinyl labels I'll need on the bonnet, maybe....! :doh:

Is this the sort of thing you need for the bonnet Ade
