Ahoy hoy! Been a. While since I posted an update. Have a 20x30 pole barn going up in the back yard, but thought I’d share a current update of where my shop is. Stuffed in another CNC machine.

Another upgrade. Getting small in here.

Thanks, I do a LOT of polishing and it makes a HUGE difference in keeping the shop clean.

So it's been 2.5 years and I think I am finally settled in and getting some work done. Some big changes happened over the past few years and I am exploring into all sorts of new things these days. A lot of people asked about the durability of the hellfire and I'd say I would definitely use it...

:) Got it from house of steel in Springville.

This space still needs a lot of work, but splitting the two spaces worked out really well. It's not as nice as my shop space but it's really more for storage than anything else.

Updating this. I decided not to mount the hose reels sideways. I put one vertically under a bench, another tucked next to an ibeam, then got a smaller one for for the middle of the ceiling above the lift. This one is under the bench Got a small 1/4" reelcraft for the lift area. Behind the...

Here are some non-pano photos of the space.

Here are a couple of panos of the shop from last night. If they are too small, here are the direct links: https://i.imgur.com/sKJQKQa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/a0t9JAb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MCH69DK.jpg

I borrowed the nibco electric tool from a friend

So I've been working away in the shop, sorry it's been a while for an update. I got my castair compressor in and plumbed the shop with copper and propress fittings. Those things are great. I built an aftercooler for my compressor, too. Added a dessicant stack as well. I have some old...

Now that the boxes are loaded up I haven't noticed any deflection or issues with the lower supports, and two of them are faily well loaded (two of them are still empty) Thanks. I just got done running copper (propress) air lines, built a welding table and tig rod holder, hung up a few hose...

I have some lincoln 1/2" hose reels that are probably 26" in diameter. I'd like to mount them on my ceiling but I'm a bit worried about headroom. I cannot mount them above the ceiling sheathing. Anyone have theirs mounted this way and noticed any long term effects? The pull direction is not...

I decided to just **** it and build a wall. I used screws exclusively. With the exception of the plywood and the pocket door track I had all the wood "in stock" leftover from my garage remodel. I uses pressure treated wood for both layers of the sill, as well as the baseboard. The pocket...

The weld table showed up. I haven't put it together yet. I did make this tire storage rack with some cable and iron pipe. Should hold all my wheels and tires. The cable really should be two independent pieces but for the weight this will support, it will work fine. I hung on one section with...

I used the code and went through be frugal and my cash back was “reversed” and they took nearly 100 dollars out of my befrugal account... any suggestions?

Ok, in this case it’s actually motorcycles. I’m trying to keep my workshop clear of the 9 motorcycles I own and want to keep them in one bay of my 2 car garage, but there will be a car being parked in the other bay daily. It’s not heated but it’s a split level so it never gets below 50, so snow...

Just one lift. It's a handy lift clone. I think it's called a pro 1200. It does the job. I really only tig weld, so no splatter. However, this part of the table will just see light fab anyway. That side of the shop is the "clean" side. On the other side of the shop I will have a 3X5...

I got my workbench buttoned up last night. I made it from laser cut steel and some harbor freight tool boxes. Top is 10GA cor-ten over 1.5" plywood. It uses some Harbor Freight toolboxes, three 44" ones and one 56" one. It also has a section with a 1/2" top that has a 1/2-13 hole tapped...

He's very kind and friendly. It was after midnight and I was probably making a lot of noise he could hear in his bedroom. He was very polite about it and I'm glad he said something, because it made me aware of something that I could mitigate before it became a problem. After all the...
