Well, there goes my excuse. I modeled the mess in my workshop on yours and now I have to tidy up. Very impressed with your new floorspace
Awesome shop . If your like me you will just love the jobs in the shop and best of all there are no horse women in there to deal with lol.😂
Great space to work in. Much more light than your old shop.
Nice shop, I like brick buildings for shop work.
That’s basically all we have over here unless you buy a garden shed!
Glad to see the new place up and running! It galls a man to not have his tools handy.
Great to see you back. I'm looking forward to your next episode
Looks fantastic Gary!! I know great things will continue to come out of this space!
Happy Spring and Best wishes to you and your wife, AND Ralph!💗 from your friend in Iowa, USA
Very nice already, good job! Thanks for sharing.
Great times to set up a new shop. For for compressor, just make a manifold from plumbing fittings. Cheap, easy, available parts and probably better! Have fun
If you could afford to replace the compressor, you could make a stove out of the body of it. Liking the set up of the shop
.....LIGHTS !!!!......fantastic
GARY love what your doing with the new shop big move how"s the family and your dog love what your doing keep it up
I'm glad to see that the new shop is working out well, you must really be enjoying all the extra space!
I love it!
So nice to have some space!
I’m really digging your new shop, Gary. I have a 6” version of the Clarke Metalworker grinder and it’s been a great addition to my shop. Like all the room. Be careful with that shoulder!
Cheers!

Like the new shop! It’s amazing what just a bit of room can do to make work easier, and more enjoyable!!
It really is!
Love the tea room.
Shop is looking great the space and tables on wheels is goin to be so good for you. Like the table socket I do a similar thing with a face vise and cleat on the tool's.
That's a really nice space. Maybe you can get a milling machine to fill an empty spot.
Nice looking shop mate, would love to see a video on how you make and clamp the vice and bench grinder to the socket very interesting
There’s nothing to it. I had a section of old acro prop I used for the saw stand left over so just drilled a hole in the bench top and welded a section in the hole. I made it quite long so it is easier to operate. I drilled a 12 mm hole in near the bottom and welded a nut on. Then I welded a bar on a 12 mm bolt for the clamp. I drilled the holes for the vise in the acro plate and blind welded some studs in. Simple! Now any tool I want to use in the socket I just need to weld a plate onto a length of 2” pipe and bolt it to the tool.
Nice workspace!
Looks realy nice!
Looking good Thank you Gary
What a great space!
Very nice work shop
Having the space to jump back from a tool is a great safety feature.
Best wishes
Frank
look at all that space! Congrats on the new shop Gary!
Missed your videos. Hope you do well without shoeing.
Good luck from Tennessee, USA.
Great looking place... Very jealous.
Nice tidy shop Gary. Keeping it tidy is the hard part. Love the new setup.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic!!
Thanks!
Beautiful shop Gary, congratulations.
Thanks
Nice work shop mate. Infinitely better than the old place
Absolutely
You deserve to have a nice shop like that. Congratulations on a place where you are comfortable, efficient, safe, and happy.
Thank you very much!
SHOP LOOKS GOOD , WELL DONE. REGARDS RICHARD.
Thanks 👍
Good to see you back into it. Look after yourself. Cheers from Australia
Thanks, will do!
You’ve got a lot of stuff Gary ! the first forge I ever saw( 60+yrs ago )seemed to be divided between hotting things,and hitting things, and a strong smell of horse. That’s a big space, I hope it helps mate.
Great move. I'm so jealous. Would love that sort of space, although I'm sure you'll soon fill it.
You and me both!
Good luck. Plenty of room for a power or treadle hammer. I'm just a bit envious, however, one bit of your workshop I have serious concerns with.
As a proud Cornishman who is setting up my own small forge (purely hobby), I couldn't see a single pasty in your lunch box (and I'm not talking about Ginsters or Greggs rubbish). How you can expect to do serious work in that environment is beyond me.
I done exactly the same to my compressor when I changed the fittings - spare parts are readily available - I didn't catch what make yours is but the fittings looked the same as mine (Draper). Cost £15 to replace
chalk and cheese the old and new shops. It looks an excellent shop Gary, and to look so spacious when you have basically not even sorted out the final positions of stuff, you are definitely spoilt for room. Be able to fit heaps more gear in :) How is your commute to the new shop compared to the old?
Thanks, it’s about the same, just the other side of the valley.
The best part is you can see the floor!!🤣 Nice setup. The brick walls give the place a very nice atmosphere, if that counts in a blacksmith shop. Lots of good light so you can see what you're doing.
Frankly m, I'm jealous 🥰
Yes, it’s awesome!
hi gary, i have almost the same pos compressor and i had the same problem as you. the whole cheese casting has a half inch thread so i put a male coupler, a cross fitting, one side safety valve, top is the pressure switch, and in the outlet another male coupler, i planned to put a tee and two street elbows but i had a big frl and just put a ball valve and run a piece of hose to the frl . if i had the money i´d used brass fittings but ended up using regular galv fittings. super nice workshop, keep the spirit high! thanks for sharing
if I had the time I would do something similar but a £20 replacement is the quick fix at the moment!
I had to rebuild my compressor, when the tank rusted out. New tank, switch and regulator for less than a quarter the cost of a new compressor. Price is in the motor and pump. Your industrial supplier will have parts.
You look comfortable in your new shop, so roomy. Much easier work from your past days as a farrier.
I think so too!
Some reason I thought you had a power hammer. Shop looks good
Not yet, I hope to get a small one soon.
Congrats 👏 shop is looking great, we just bought a big toolbox and it wasn't cheap and bet new air compressor is same. Your air compressor piece that cracked, do you think you might be able to braze it, or maybe use a bunch of brass fittings and in line air regulator to make a better manifold all around, hope thoughts help!
I could make a new manifold but at the moment I don't really have the time so I think a cheap replacement for £20 will have to do!
@@garyhuston fully understand
Lovely shop - I would kill for a place like that!
Did you get rid of the new MIG set you bought?
ATB
Dave
I did, I had it nearly a year and never even plugged it in. I only bought it in case I moved to a place with no 3 phase.
Looks like a nice building Gary I'm sure you will like it. By the way how is the shoulder doing everything healed and ok now?
Shoulder is getting better very slowly, still in lot’s of pain but it gets better week on week.
can you make the entire casting for the compressor from steel, what i saw of it looked like cast pipes, not sure if its alot more complicated than that from the video.
also i have oxy acetylene here too, just half size bottles, but i made an inline cart for them as i thought it was better to have them able to be gotten out of the building in a hurry if need be.
i get why yours are on the wall though, maybe a half trolley and still chained to the wall in case of the worst
hows your arm, shoulder etc doing?
I probably could make the manifold but I think it's easier at the moment to buy a replacement for about £20, it's monkey metal again but it's a quick fix.
Make a new manifold out of brass, aluminum, or a bunch of brass pipe fittings.
wasn't worth trying to make one. £10 and a new one arrived in a few days.
I see space for a power hammer
Yes, I just need to find the right one!
Roomy
Yes, it’s a joy to be able to move around without climbing over stuff!
