Not long before the next whynot update then...

 

Hopefully next week mate :)

 

 

 

Great new workshop Ian and space for luxury items too, bonus.

 

I hope the house move went well

 

Thanks Iain, the house move is nearly there now. We should get this place straight by the end of the weekend..

 

 

 

That luxury item's taking up Milling Machine space Ian :D  Nice shop :thumbs: :thumbs:

You'll have to do your welding outside now or you'll mess up the decor :D

 

Thanks Doug.. The armchair is very much needed though.. When I'm shattered and had enough I can't just walk across the garden to the house now, so I need the armchair to relax in while waiting for my wife to pick me up in the evenings..

 

 

And then it was gone!!!

Interesting picture of Nigel doing his Mr Universe impression. Mr November in the impending 2015 MOM calendar?

 

Now that's a thought :lol:

 

 

 

Do you have an open view like the old place at the new one, Ian? House I mean.

 

Hi Norm, nope no good views here, surrounded by houses!!   But it is a lot quieter down here than I thought it would be.. Almost got used to the sound of traffic now :lol:

 

 

I managed to get a few hours in at the workshop today, putting tins of bits on shelves, trying to find homes for all my junk... 

 

I did manage to get my big bench cleared and re-skinned with a much thicker top :D

And he left without a trace! Just like aliens came and beamed him away.

Now that's a thought :lol:

Pretty cool of you to think about a nappy spot in the new shop.

Helping Ian move workshop and home over the past few weeks I finished up having the old wood store and contents. 

here's a couple of photos of it in its new location, had to make it 5 inch's narrower to fit in the slot I had, its now sporting a door and fresh coat of creosote

This is a great post and has the makings of a good movie, in that it is a great story, it made me laugh (a lot) and had some sad moments (poor Limpy).

 

Ian, I think you and Nigel are going to have lots of fun and I am looking forward to hearing the stories.

Oh Ian, its soooo sad, where's my hanky

 

Aaww.. Don't cry Chris :lol:

 

 

 

Ian, I look forward to seeing your new videos from your new shack. BTW is the music Metallica?

 

Hi Andrew, I have started recording life at the new shack, maybe a video about it at the end of the week.. Nope the music is not Metallica, it's called "Slow night at the saloon" found here.. http://teknoaxe.com/Home.php

 

 

 

:(

 

Yeah it is a bit sad Mark, but long term more than worth it..

 

 

 

At least the shack has found a new lease of life Ian :)

 

Very true Paul, better than it being scrapped...   The buyer is going to send me some photo's when he get's it put back together, though something tells me it won't be going up in quite the same way it came apart..

 

 

 

great video and so sad...

 

Thanks Iain :thumbs:

 

More progress today in the workshop..

 

Some tools and decoration up..

The shelves will be moved to somewhere a little easier to reach, low bench for the blasting cabinet which put's it at a nice height to use, and some more decoration up..

 

TM34_zps9bdd2f75.jpg

 

 

Lot's more shelves filled up with random stuff and Wheel Horse parts..

 

TM35_zps15b9f342.jpg

 

 

And finally some more decoration.. It just needs a plug putting on to make it light up...  A big thank you to Ben for this.. Cheers mate :thumbs:

Looks like you are getting very organised, with everything having it's place. A far cry from my workshop especially at the moment.

 

Does not that apply to most workshops? T'Other Arf says you need danger money to go in mine. :D
