My space 28x31. Have six 6 bulb T5 Hi Bay fixture, one 8ft T8 over bench and 350 Watt LED just in case and I'm happy.

I've lost a week between some miserable crud going around and another commitment. Today I get back to work trouble shooting my big lathe. Mr persistent here in OK:)

Added a pinned jib pole extension to the bucket of my tractor so I could lower 3 phase motor and have it verified. It's fine and my wiri g was wrong. Tomorrow will put it back in the loft and see if big lathe runs. Lol.

Great score. I have the 56 with two Craftsman top boxes. One for standard, one metric.

Took a break. It was cold and rainy my cell phone died yesterday so that's all I accomplished. Monday will get going on the phase converter problem and hope to have the big lathe running soon.

Dang!

The saga continues. Wire is run, fused disconnects where needed, inspection by my friend who's and industrial electrician for big sand/gravel company. WNY who supplied the panel has been no help. I ordered 15 hp panel, the front panel says 20 hp. There was slight internal damage and one...

I grew up in NW Ohio so I know what you're talking about. Great people but don't miss the winters!

More work on the 3 phase electric. Should fire up EOW. Did I mention that I'm nervous?

I didn't grow up around any of this stuff. Wanted to take shop in HS but "you have to take Latin so you can get into college" . And my dad had NO interest in anything like this and the one or two times he tried to show me something I didn't hold the hammer right or something and he took the tool...

I will definitely need something like that. Four years ago I was curious and it's grown into a potential business. I have 5 acres and two 12x20 enclosed shed/car port buildings behind the shop. Have thought about concrete. They're alreadly enclosed on three sides so it wouldn't be a big job...

Good save!

Mounted fusible switches for three phase lathe and welder, began running wire backwards toward the service panel. Plan to have my sparky buddy do a final inspection before I flip the breaker. I REALLYdon't want any magic smoke:D

Sweet!

Mounted RPC panel and drilled holes since there were no knock outs. Hope to have wire run and things running by Monday.

i've been assembling the components for my rotary phase converter project. Have read a fair amount and visited with three different people who have experience. As of now I have a 15 hp three phase motor. It was wired for 480 but using the diagram I re-wired to low voltage 208-230(?). Also have a...

I repurposed old card file cabinets. Replace the dividers with Ackro platstic bins or, something I saw here, plastic electrical boxes, which are availabe in different sizes and dirt cheeeeap!

Came to the point when I said........."It's time to work IN the shop"...........:):)

Wrong side of the Red River:)

Sorted and cleaned. Did I mention cleaned? Installed new blade on Ramco band saw and trued blade to the table, I think. It still needs a new belt and fine tuning. I've only had it three years, can't believe it's taken me this long(: Gradually shuffling things around and pick a foot here and a...
