    I ordered some aluminium to make some shelves in the place between the drawers, but unfortunatly it didn't come yet. Made some wooden boards to screw the shelves to: I did put the toolbox in place to see how it looks like: Slided in the drawers and masked of the stripe and sprayed on the...

    I had a idea about how my workbench should look like. I'm a bit of a nutcase as it coms to stuff of my own, i often really think things thrue to try and think of everything. As in spray cans away from the welding area, build in air plugs. Build in controlls for my hydraulic table. My main goal...

    Shattering bandsaw blade?

    Thx for the reply, yeah I thought 14tpi would be a good choice for my application. I had the pressure all the way reduced, im out of adjusting now. I will make a block to reduce it even more and update you on that when I have done that. English is not my first language so I dont know every word.

    Did some final welding on the doors and sealed the outside very good so no water will ever come in between the metal parts. If all goes well there should come any water to these doors. Bought some very wear friendly paint (don't know the correct pronounciation) its called Hamerslag lak in the...

    After a couple of evenings work with my mom, the ende result really came in nice. I saw this same color pattern in some one elses shop on youtube and really liked it, thought it looks real clean. Also the walls are a bit easier to keep clean when they are grey, its washable paint so if they get...

    After the floor was dry I really was carefull, but fast after that I just treat it like a shop floor. Offcourse I dont smack it wreckless, but I have to remind myself I made it to work in/on it. It really cleans very easy, one swipe with the broom and its clean.

    Shattering bandsaw blade?

    Hi, I have a bandsaw in my collection and love the machine. But resently I bought a new sawblade for it with 10 teeth per inch. I had 14 TPI but it was so fine, a small piece of metal took ages. So I thought lets get 10 TPI since a mate of mine has bandsaw wich is a bit smaller and also has...

    Front mason work done, that completes all the mason work. Big mile stone for me, now its up to me to finish it. Ordered a load of fill dirt to fill it to the correct level. Done this so it can sit for a while and really harden up so its a solid foundation for the floor. Ordered roof panels...

    Update: Started with the inside wall and insulation. Made the beam to go in the back for the attic. Measered out the holes for the attic beam, could have done this in for hand but I wanted to match the inside wall brick work. Hanging it in with the sketchy hoist, don't look at the hook😅...
