Okay...beautiful weekend here in Delaware so threw the garage doors open and did some spring cleaning. It's usually like a tornado went through here so now or never for the nickel tour. My "shop" is basically one side of the family two car garage. Gonna have to move this operation to the basement someday...or finally build me a shop out back. Ahh...if only...
So here's one side.... Cabinets from kitchen remodel couple years back. I keep a little air nailer compressor in the backyard in one of those rubbermaid deck boxes to run the air and mist coolant for the mill. Big compressor just too loud to be running in the shop all the time. The pegboard came with the house 10 years ago so decided to finally use it for the common hand tools. I like it already. We'll see how long THAT lasts...
And other side...fabricated clamps to put belt/disc sander and some flat space on my Miter Saw stand. Cheapo Delta table saw doesn't get much action so slapped a chunk of countertop on it to make more workspace and a place to put the pan brake. The Harbor Freight horiz/vert bandsaw is kind of rickety...but has a strong 1HP motor and with some tinkering and a high quality blade she has become quite a workhorse.
Tool box always been over here on other side of the garage...need to move it closer to the action. Poor neglected backhoe experiment up top....tow truck I bought from Vince. Some day the wife is gonna make me fix the drywall mess I made during the kitchen remodel.
If I don't have the right tool on a stand...I probably have something in one of these cases that'll do the job...
The little Taig CNC in its big enclosure...replaced the factory Microproto controller software w/ Mach3. Been getting a lot of work and its starting to show on some of the parts...need to spend a couple hours tramming and tightening up the ways and lead screws. I've been running mist coolant lately...works real good to keep aluminum chips flying instead of gumming up. It all drains down to the chip tray and I just pour it back in the bottle through a screen every now and then or mix up a new batch.
Harbor Freight 7x10... The battery charger doubles as the bench power supply for my backhoe experiment. LOL. I'm not kidding actually.
Lincoln Pro 155....
Fas-kit bins and starter set one of my better investments over the years. Having the right fasteners when you need it makes all the different. There are full kits of RTL standard and metric miniature fasteners hiding behind these as well. Money well spent in my opinion.
More fasteners and some of the drawers with machine tooling, etc.
few more drawers and bins with this and that but that's pretty much it. Probably ought to build something now!
Thanks for lookin!
Joe
