A chicken shed? That's just about Heath Robinson enough to be my kinda place! That speaker store reminds me very much of Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. You could literally blow yourself away with the right power chord (no power tool pun intended) and the right amp on a setup with all those speakers rigged up :lol:

Hi,

Fruit machine reel bands on the end of the bench haven't seen any of those since I used to repair juke-boxes and fruit machines. Looks like you have lots of space.

its a wood burner with a small turbo the next bit to go in is a small cast rad to act as a back boiler witch will be plumbed in to a heating matrix out of an office with a header tank and big fan to get the heat right down to the bottom of the shed.

 

[MikeG.]

Jesus H Chr.....I hope you know what you are doing with that water-tank bomb thingy!!!

 

[freeytrap]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

No offence intended here, in fact the opposite, I really like it. This is some of the maddest stuff I've seen made in a while. Is the tanoy hemlet your own design?

Most here are into woodwork, but I suppose the domain name kind of hints at a wider audience. That is assuming you aren't doing woodwork exclusively, of course. Got any other projects in the pipeline?

 

[woodbloke]

Bench, tools, machinery...wood? 8-[ Maybe I'm missing something, hope not - Rob

 

[freeytrap]

I can't take all the credit for the full face tanoid horn helmet i saw a roughly made one on a web sight and thought i could do better
i realise now that this is a wood working forum and will take some pics of speakers and other wood things i have made and i will post them tomorrow
sorry if i have branched out a bit hear

Hi and welcome to the forum. It must be a bugger getting the dead flies off that lid after a run on the bike Still it beats what the Nigerians are wearing to get round the new helmet law that has just come in!!!

Mark.

 

[ByronBlack]

That is proper mental. Quite possibly the most bonkers workshop I've seen, i love it!

Fancy a swap?

 

[freeytrap]

thanks Chippyjoe i have not tryed rideing with it yet but i could imagan what you mean thats mad that thay have brought out a law in nigerear for helmets

 

[Ironballs]

Looks like fun to me, not sure I entirely understand everything in your pics but what I've seen makes me want to come back for me.

You should introduce yourself to Wizer and suggest jointly building a turbo powered sawdust burner, you and he will get on like a house on fire. Literally. Incidentally make sure you have 999 on speed dial if Tom is about. Or at least a video camera on full charge...
