So I made my first part today in the new shop. Somehow during the move, I managed to lose half of one of the heavy duty hinges for the double doors and rather than buying another pair for the missing half, I opted to make one. It was a good exercise because it involved turning, milling, and welding, and let me know what things were still missing in the shop. There was a belt missing on the bandsaw, so I had to cut the plate out with the mill, the 82° countersinks are still packed away somewhere, and I had no welding gloves. Other than that, things went smoothly.
