RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - f350ca - 09-20-2014
Again not metal, but metal related, need storage for metal stock, and tractor and a whole bunch of other stuff. Spent too much time last winter digging through snow drifts to find what I knew was there.
Started timber framing a shed the other day, the timber was cut last spring but dried very little over our wet summer. This certainly isn't the quickest way to frame up a building but its FUN.
These are all the posts for a three bay shed. (as usual quality control is keeping an eye on things)

I need one of those quality control dudes. :)

Great company Ed. This one virtually never leaves my sight or should I say me leave her sight. Travels on the snowmobile, atv, tractor, boat, anything that moves. Great nature, I've yet to hear her growl, but think she's protective, if someone is in the shop or house with me, she has to be at my feet.

Looks good Greg, it will be interesting to see it come along? My first dog was a German Shepard.. I named him King after Sargent Preston's dog Youkon King. I sure loved that dog.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Mayhem - 09-22-2014
Yesterday I managed to get some more time in my shop and finished off installing the chipboard sheeting. I then moved the mill into the other corner and hooked it up to its three phase power.

Next I removed the power looms and other cable on the blue wall and put in a storage cupboard that the university threw out some time back. I was surprised to see that I had enough room for the cupboard and a smaller one that I had placed on wheels. Originally, this was going to be a mobile unit that I could place wherever I needed it. However, I don't think that is going to work the way I had planned, so I'll just take it off its wheels and leave it here.

My drill press will go against the back wall, where the grey milk crate is currently residing. Ignore the mess on the floor, I have to sort out the looms and also put away the toe jack I made and the pipes I used to move the mill with.

Like Tom, I also got a flammable liquids cabinet at the same time (major rebuild of several labs). That is about $2500 sitting just there! I got new fire extinguishers, chairs, filing cabinets, drawer units, lab equipment, an oscilloscope, the large whiteboard you can see above, a heart monitor, centrifuge, vacuum pump and countless other stuff that would have gone into the dumpster.

Nice haul Darren.

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - PixMan - 09-22-2014
Looking good Darren, though I have to tell you I doubt you'll be able to put the drill press there because the table of the Kondia mill with it's power feed unit is likely going to interfere with access to the drill press. You might also find you have to move the mill further out from the corner once the table is on it.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Mayhem - 09-23-2014
Thanks Ken,
The photo makes it look a little more cramped than it is and the drill will sit closer to the cupboard than the mill. All I need is enough room to open the door.
You are likely correct about having to move the mill out a bit once the table is in place. This is why I moved it from the other corner, as I'd be stepping back into the lathe.
If not I can always rethink...
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 09-23-2014
working on this, trying real hard to not mess it up as I have no freaking idea where another one of these castings can be found.
