Our Shop On The Hill

[ProMetalShop]

Hi Folks
We built our shop quite a few years ago for our retirement. Sold our commercial building, and just haven't quite retired as of yet....

[ProMetalShop]

Yes, schedule 40, it's been there 10 years, 2 repairs since. Once I'm done with the house, I will be switshing over, but in no rush....

That is one SERIOUS English Wheel !

 

[ProMetalShop]

Thank you Wizzard, this is a better picture of the wheel at one of our metal work shops. The young fellows from the local votech were with there shop instructor, and were happy to get some wheel time.

Nice looking shop, You will be given a lot of **** over the pvc air line.

 

[PLOWJEEP]

Nice shop. Where are you located. I'm from N.W PA. Your area looks similar .

 

[ProMetalShop]

Plowjeep, I'm in Danville, just outside of Elysburg, 5 minutes from Knobles.

 

[ProMetalShop]

Thanks for the advance warning Richard. Ive got pretty thick skin after 40 years in business I've had my share.

I have always wondered if anyone has tried Schedule 80 PVC for shop air lines.

 

[cvairwerks]

Doesn't matter what Schedule PVC you look at, there is none rated for use with a comperssible fluid. Air is considered a compressible fluid.

I am not trying to start trouble or cause any hard feelings, I just want to make an observation and then ask a question.

For a very long time I have wondered why it is that people are willing to spend MANY thousands of dollars on a shop and on equipment to put in it so they can do all sorts of projects, but then they put in PVC air lines instead of spending a few dollars more to put in metal ones. For some reason the logic in doing that eludes me and I was wondering if someone can explain the reasoning behind it?

By the way, really nice looking shop.

That's a great shop and I'd love to see all your shop equipment. I'm an aircraft sheet metal guy who's setting up my own fab shop and looking for some ideas.

Strange I have schedule 80 in my shop for forty years. Line pressure 130 lbs. Never a problem. LDL

 

[Greeny]

I'm jealous. Would love to have PVC air lines in a shop like that.

I don't care what lines you have... you're a grown man! However, I do feel shorted on the pics. I know there's a lot more to see being that it's a big building.

Also, any plans for insulation and such, prior to retirement?

Hi Brent, it's a bit deceiving with the plywood, however there is 2 inch foam insulation in the walls and ceilings.

So I just signed up on Tapatalk, so it may be easier for me to load more pictures.

What the hell is that? I know, I'm the guy complaining about reposting pics but there is no reference in the post.

 

[ProMetalShop]

Hi Zeke
It's a pedal car as a tribute of a land speed car from back in 1927. The picture when I posted, was me learning how to upload from Tapatalk that I had just signed up to. I'll post a few more pictures tonight.

 

[ProMetalShop]

Heres a full length picture that was in Rod Authority last month. I have to pull up some more pictures from one of my other albums.
