what you can't see are the wires holding the axle up, good camera angle and use of the light to obscure them....  :icecream:

Not much to report guy's and girl's, life has been rather busy with this house move lark..

 

But I did manage to get my big bench cleared and re-skinned with a much thicker top biggrin.png

Yes it will be gaining some extra legs to help hold it up..

A bit of a sad video for you..

 

 

 

And then it was gone!!!

I thought you had one of those helium balloon tanks there and were filling tires with that!  :ROTF:

An absolute tear jerker Ian...end of an era.

That poor shack should should be nominated for a Cecil B. Demille lifetime achievement award.

Very true indeed..

I think having no air in the tires helped make it lighter .

I hope you didn't cry into your keyboard too much while watching the vid Craig :lol:

Thanks Jerry, yeah it was sad to see the old shack go, some great machine and memories came out of it.

 

 

Some more progress in the workshop..

 

Some tools and decoration up..  The Wheel Horse flags came from a certain chap called Glen Pettit :thumbs:

 

TM33_zps6eac4b59.jpg

 

 

The shelves will be moved to somewhere a little easier to reach, low bench for the blasting cabinet which put's it at a nice height to use, and some more decoration up..

 

TM34_zps9bdd2f75.jpg

 

 

Lot's more shelves filled up with random stuff and Wheel Horse parts..

 

TM35_zps15b9f342.jpg

 

 

And finally some more decoration.. It just needs a plug putting on to make it light up... 

 

TM36_zps398d2b5c.jpg

 

 

Well chaps, a couple of big milestones were reached yesterday.. The first being I finally wired in my little radio to some big speakers via and old stereo thingy so now I no longer have to listen to tinny sounding rock music from the DAB radios little speaker and I now have the sound power to drown out Nigel's singing laugh.png

 

The second milestone we shall get to in a bit..

 

The workshop is now about 85% done.. Ok, I still need to bolt the lathe motor and pulley down..

 

TM39_zpsb30bb044.jpg

 

 

An organized bench..

 

TM38_zps9837b4d1.jpg

 

 

Quite possibly the tidiest and cleanest this big bench will ever look.. It's nice to have the bench space to bolt my sheet metal folder on to thumbup.gif

 

TM37_zpsd58ae5c5.jpg

 

 

And as the big project bench was looking tidy I thought I'd take a few photo's of it as well biggrin.png

 

TM40_zps8ef4a598.jpg

 

TM42_zps191af823.jpg

 

TM41_zpsfc7b939f.jpg

 

 

And the second big milestone??  Well with the workshop being 85% done it means it's done enough to be operational..  (The remaining 15% will be done as it's needed)..

 

So the only thing to do was to have an opening ceremony, for which the local royalty was called in to do the honors...

 

 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Mayor of Mower Land   biggrin.png

"I pronounce this workshop open"!!   laugh.png

Too funny Ian. Oh the joys of having a concrete floor in a workshop. Sometimes I have to weld in my shed( not often) and all I can see is it going up in flames. (I do a smoke sniff test before I lock up.) Your shop looks great, cant wait to see more with "why not".

Good thing you took lots of pictures. That way in a couple of weeks when you start "losing" stuff you can come back here and find it!  :thumbs:  :laughing-rolling:  :teasing-tease:

Thanks we were getting low on our Shack Fix. With the Shack just a YouTube memory, I see you are referring to the new one as a Workshop. Glad to see your back and looking forward to progress on the latest creation. Didn't see your Horses, where is the Horse Barn? You know we need pictures! :ychain:

Hi Richie, this is my first workshop with a concrete floor which is nice.. The wall are still made of wood though... I have been lucky with wooden floor workshops over the years and not caught them on fire :)

Hi Mike, losing stuff will happen once I've finished trying to find all the bit's I've not unpacked yet :D

Hi Jerry, thanks for the congrats.. It is so nice to have more workspace, no more climbing over stuff to get around the bench :thumbs:

Hi Don, shack fixes are no more.. So expect lot's of workshop updates instead :thumbs:     Yep I am calling it a workshop, it's far too tidy to be called a shack although apart from the concrete floor the construction is about the same..

I move the rest of the herd outside when I'm busy in the workshop, it's nice to have the extra space to get around.   I will get some photo's :)

 

 

Have a "Welcome to my new workshop" video..
