  • Well... That didn't go to plan. Trend very kindly sent me their SmartBench CNC on loan to try out but unfortunately, it doesn't fit in my workshop. I'm gutted it won't fit in the space I currently have. I'd hoped with the space cleared it would be able to squeeze in but unfortunately it's too close for comfort. Hopefully I can find a larger space soon!

    Hi Joe! Shame it won't fit in your space. If you plan to do mostly smaller projects at one end of the machine, then think about cutting a hole in a wall and extending 4 to 6 feet of the bed outside the shed. You could cover it up to protect it from the weather. I would use it as an outdoor bar with stools around it. :) Maybe have enough of it in the shed to cut a 2x4 foot sheet. Just a thought.

    • @AverageJoesJoinery
      @AverageJoesJoinery  2 роки тому +1

      Steve!!!! That’s absolutely genius! Issue I had with extending the shed was that we still “need” a garden apparently 😅 an outdoor bar might be an easier sell though 🤔
      Hope you’re keeping well mate 🙏❤️

    Well that sucks, looking forward to seeing you get it up and running in a new workspace. Full sheet CNCs need a lot of space!

    It sucks that it doesn't really fit in the space you have now. Seems like a good excuse to get a bigger space.

    That’s a shame Joe, I was going to suggest a pop up marquee style garage (Clarke sell these) until you mentioned the sound, IN THE WORKSHOP channel has just built one.
    I suppose a temporary makeshift OSB and CLS shed is out the question?
    Either way good luck.
    Always enjoy your videos mate👍, all the best Rob

    @Mr2at 2 роки тому +1

    Here in the UK, I’m sure there are many maker’s that been overly optimistic about how much space we have available to build. Unfortunately we’re on an island and there are millions of us so not much space to share out between us.

    • @AverageJoesJoinery

    What about a platform. Just raise it high enough to clear the other tools and benches. Wiggle room maybe? I dunno.
    Unfortunately, (cough, cough) nobodys ever complained.
    While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
