Norwegian wood(shop) build

[Krysstel]

That’s what I like about the Norwegians.
Fantastic Quality.
Good Job.

Well I don't claim to be one. Just live here :wink:

Looks like the wheels should come off and sleigh :deer runners put on instead.

Great job. That looks too nice inside to be a workshop! I’d love that as a guest house

The Jet PT went the same way as the table saw

And that's about it

I've got a lot of benches, cupboards and drawers to build, and a complete new extraction system to install, but all the machines (bar the pillar drill) are now in place and set up.

First up after the new year will be the arrival of this EXTRACTOR

Thanks for watching

:lol: :lol: Well, it may look a bigger space in the pictures I took with the panorama setting on my phone but in reality it'll soon fill up once there's a bench or two and some cupboards etc. It's certainly no more space than I need to get around. What makes a real difference to the feel of the room is the high ceiling. I'm SO glad I used that ridge beam even though it was a lot of extra effort !
The floor area is 30m2 (4.1 x 7.2m).

Enjoy it Mark. I moved house and lost 35' x 10' of an insulated workshop and gained a 16' x 8' draughty garage....just pure jealousy on my part!

Yes, I see.
35' x 10' = 350 sq ft = 32m2 or almost the same size as me :wink:

 

[SammyQ]

Yes, not all that was insulated I hasten to add, but the extra room to stack timber as it was processed, line up long stuff etc is sorely missed. Once I draught-proof the garage, I am highly motivated to extend its pitched roof outward into the driveway to form a carport/ working area. Might be cold as the hobs of hell in our north wind, but at least it would be dry underneath. Its an old concrete slab, prefab garage and no way is 8' wide enough to cope with modern car widths, so no pressure to accommodate the horseless carriage. Got other matters pressing now, fingers crossed I can get at it by summer.
Enjoy yourself in there!

Time for a short update

Before I can build any cupboards and benches I had to have something to build them on. A big assembly/outfeed table in front of the Wadkin was therefore always going to be first priority. They'll be drawers for power tools underneath but I got interrupted by the arrival of a large piece of new machinery :shock:

The table is 1.1 x 2.2 meters. The framework is redimensioned 2x8 left over from the build. The top is 2 layers of 16mm MDF screwed and glued together and edged with birch. The end walls are 12mm poplar ply.

After way too much deliberation I finally got tempted by their Black Friday 10% sale and order this BEAST from Scott and Sargeant

The order was for a single phase 3hp extractor but what arrived was in fact 4hp (but still single phase) :shock:
Time will show whether the breaker can stand the additional 750W !
