Shop Update: New Machines & Shop Roof
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 чер 2024
- Here are some new machines that I have acquired over the last few months. Also, the roofing company called me last week and said they had an opening in their schedule and wondered if I wanted to get it done earlier than November. I replied with an emphatic, "Sure. That sounds delightful. Capital idea, my good chap!" In the immortal words of Navin R. Johnson, "Things are going to start happening to me now!"

A roof that does not leak is a good thing.
Great shop update!! Those flowers @ the end are pretty amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice to hear this update. You're very lucky to have all that new equipment. It brings to mind the fact that we never really own anything we just have temporary custody of all that stuff. Look forward to future updates.
You can never have too many machines. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Well I know from my old shop that there is a physical limitation on space. Hopefully I don't hit that too soon here.
An engine crane is an extremely versatile tool around the shop, I might even suggest critical. I also have an old square framed one, that I put large wheels on it I use around the yard.
Nice shop additions, Stuart. Bonus points for the reference to "The Jerk"! 😁
Yay! Someone got the reference! The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!
Good to hear about the new roof. 👍
All you need to "restore" that jointer is wd-40 + a green scotchbrite pad + a palm sander. A couple passes with the palm sander with the scotchbrite pad, and all the surface rust will be gone. Works good on any cast iron surfaces - jointers, table saw tables, drill press tables, even box ways on CNC vertical machining centers! For woodworking machines, clean the wd-40 / rust slurry off with solvent and immediately apply carnuba wax - it'll prevent the cast iron from rusting, and doesn't transfer to the wood causing problems with finishes later. For metal machines, clean the wd-40 / rust slurry off and apply way oil.
Wow - So happy for you. A great update of significant building improvements as well as possibly a full lifetime of shop projects that you and your son can start restoring. 👍👍😎👍👍
He made a really great chess board while doing lessons at the local woodworking supplier. I wouldn’t mind making a bass guitar from scratch. Of course, getting that jointer cleaned up and that CNC router running will be adventures in and of themselves.
Awesome score! Good for you!!!
The shop is really coming along. I love what you've been able to accomplish thus far. It's a big project to say the least. I'm eager to see it get setup and pumping out the videos. Let me know if you ever need any help. If I'm available, I'd be more than happy to drop in.
Thanks a ton, Cordes. Once the roof is done I'm going to start making up a materials list for the ceiling. That will be my winter project.
Some nice toys you've collected over there. A lot of fun times ahead :)
Oh yeah! I can't wait!
Looking forward to seeing what's in that electronics and Kennedy to boxes
Same here!
Nice score. Just found your channel today and subbed.
Welcome aboard!
You may regret not putting in roof insulation blankets when they were putting the tin on . When i did my one , i bought a few rolls at a time as so i did not get a big hit on the wallet at one time ! 👍
The roofers are saving the old tin for me and I'll be using that for the ceiling. Then I'm going to fill the trusses with blown in insulation.
I would be interested in seeing/hearing about your thoughts on isolating the wood from the metal shop. I would think you do not want wood dust getting on the metal working machines. Or maybe how you protect the metal machines from said dust. Thanks for the update!
I don't have a plan for that just yet. I think eventually I'll put an addition on the side, but that's a long way down the road. I'll have to get the roof paid off first.
Probably any CNC controller with a parallell port interface can run that CNC router. Do yourself a favor and select anything but Mach3. Some options for windows: PlanetCNC, UCCNC, EdingCNC, EstlCAM For Linux: LinuxCNC with a Mesa card, PlanetCNC.
Thanks for the advice! I'll look into those.
Good news on the roof and a nice collection of formerly homeless machines. I'm working on trying to figure out how to insulate my place without robbing a bank or having to work evening shifts on a dark street corner somewhere in a busy city. 😄
I'm trying to figure that out myself. I'll be starting it piecemeal and insulating as I go. First step is the ceiling and blowing in insulation up top. That way I can start installing lighting and electrical. Then I'll insulate around where my office will be and get that area built up. Then I can start moving machines.
@@StuartdeHaro What are you going to use for the ceiling? I'm still trying to figure that out. Originally I was going to use OSB, but with trusses on 10' centers something else may be more practical.
@@gofastwclass the roofing company is actually setting aside the old tin for me and I'm going to use that. It keeps it out of the landfill AND my wallet!
@@StuartdeHaro That's awesome!
This "Navin R. Johnson" was the best quoted name of 2023. I sincerely hope you do not collect oil cans......
Hahaha. I keep all my oil behind armor plate
