Stuff you have made today

[DAPPH]

Like your machinery Hood they would just about fit in my garden rather than in my 22 x 12 foot mancupboard . Even though I've been medically retired since 1995 & am now knocking on for 69 , I still get an engineers heart string twang when I see a fabrication place like yours. .

My workshop is really quite small, well wrong shape more than small. It would have been better if I could have got the unit next door rather than the one at the back as it would have made a square workshop rather than a long narrow one. It was going to be too much hassle though as it was a supporting wall and the Heritage people were involved in the renovation of the building so it would have been expensive as well as jumping through hundreds of hoops.

Stopped being lazy and googled it, real interesting design idea the chiron.

Amazing machines, it is 30 odd years old and at that time a normal tool change was 20 seconds or more, the Chiron is under 1. Still fast even by today's standards.

If I'm ever that far north il have to stop by for a chat and look around.

Bet if struggle to get the Chiron in my garage lol

The Chiron is reasonably small footprint, not really much more than the room required for the beaver mill.

You have a beaver? Ive got a mk2 but wouldn't mind finding a cnc version

Aye, a NC5 running Mach3. Can't remember the last time I used it, well for machining, it is a handy shelf

Funny how that happens

My workshop is that small I have no places for everything I have so things like that get junk on them. That and I am slightly untidy in nature

Battling the weather but there is an end in sight.
Let down on glass and Ironmongery direct sent me eurospec sashlocks and handles
Today.

Bit of sanding and paint outside. A little bit of decking and we are done

Skip in the morning. Was supposed to be there for the duration but customer asked to leave it for the final week. Rubbish everywhere atm.
Can also get the waste out of my lockup and actually get my tablesaw to site need to cut some trim for around the top of the walls and ridge

Skilly saw a lot of use. Surprised it hasn't died.

Tracksaw and extractor made cutting the celotex up almost bareable

Here is a fairly recent pic of it, you can just about see it

Bet mimes smaller. Trying to figure out how to make everything fit as i build it up looking at installing a vapour blast cabinet as its something i get asked about enough to make it sensible.

Have a small horizontal mill to get finished and off to my inlaw with a vertical head, then i can get my beaver mk2 in.

@Hood I live in constant envy of your machinery.

And infinitely more satisfying than making a shed.

Today made up a couple of small panels for the moggy as they got squashed during a light bump. Maybe it might be back on the wheels by friday.
