Spring is on the way, why not set up a temporary shelter/gazebo? Work in situ.

I am doing just that mate. Building a temporary to house the Harrison. Another temporary for the other machinery. I can then carry on with the main building.

Today I am making the top plate that holds the cutting tool for the Harrison tool post. 20mm holes in 20mm thick steel. One hole down and three to go.

That's the top done. I want the clean but used look. And I think I have achieved that.

Took the first half of the main gear shaft apart today..simple but brilliant clutch design. A bit of a pain to get apart.. there is a few bearings that are grumbling so I will replace these.
