Took a few hours and built a beehive for my coming colony. Should be ready for pickup in a few weeks. Used a rabbet in the main body but decided to go with finger joints for the super. The next few I build I'll definitely go with all finger joints...

It's been awhile but I've slowly been chipping away at the shop. The office, bathroom and stairs have been framed; and the floor has been installed on the mezzanine. Roughed in some plumbing as well for the washing machine water and drain box so I can continue on with the insulating and...

I'm not much into vinyl, it's just one more hobby that would take money away from others :) My wife and I are expecting another baby in September, so I'm trying not to let the shop progress get too far onto that back burner, but that's how it goes sometimes. I picked up a toilet and utility...

Sherwood wasn’t very well known but they’re nice nonetheless. I’m always looking for vintage gear, hoping to find a Marantz sooner or later. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it’s a concentric kit. I love it, except that the silicone gaskets weren’t shipped with it so I had to wait a few weeks over Christmas to get them. The thimble is actually on the inside of the building. It’s the box that the intake air terminates to and the flue passes through. As the...

Exhaust fan installed! Still plugging away installing insulation and interior steel. Untitled

I couldn't tell you honestly. I haven't utilized the FM receiver in the unit yet. :dunno: Boilermaker thanks for the info. Things have definitely changed on the power side of things since the 70s. I'll have to do some more checking into that. :beer:

The outputs to the speakers already have RC circuits paralleled to the speakers, but yeah I don't trust the stability of the components any more.

So another sidestep from the real work to be done. I bought this Sherwood S-8910 receiver last year on Craigslist for $45 and it had an issue with the speaker protection relay dropping out. I only initially had an issue with it and it's been intermittent since. I've been running twin 4 ohm...

Thank you for tagging along! It’s a shop build thread but I guess this sort of thing is all part of it. Hopefully I’ll get back to my regular scheduled work on the shop soon. Boiler, yes I think I dodged a huge bullet here. Time will tell.

It may, but I'm riding on the odds that it may not. The pump pickup screen was clean, due to the filter being on the return side of the things. Flushing everything out and putting it all back together, we will see how it goes. Filter guts...

Well the rotor housing took a bit of damage from the metal pieces floating around. It's not near as hard at the rotor or the rollers. I removed the embedded pieces and cleaned up the surfaces. Should be good as long as I'm able to get all the pieces flushed out of it. It's not ideal, but...

128’ of 4” seamless gutters with downspouts on each corner was $760 installed. I wanted 6” downspouts on one end of the building only but the guy said it was too much for 64’ runs and the late winter ice/rain would eventually tear them off the eaves. It’s not ideal for drainage for my site...

Still installing wall insulation and covering it with steel siding. One piece at a time, only 60-something left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice, I remember demoing an induction heater. Used it on rear strut tower nuts up inside the fender. They’re nice to have! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was the included software with the temp data logger I purchased from amazon. To get the run times I just measured the time between temperature swings. Check out post number 131 in this thread for the link for the sensor I bought from amazon. You can export the data to excel but for some...

Awesome, thanks for the offer! The seal kit I bought surprised me with having everything needed for a rebuild. The service instructions I found here seem to be pretty thorough. I haven't pulled the pickup screen from the tank yet to see how much it has caught, but I'm thinking this hasn't...

I got tired of the scissor lift leaving oil puddles wherever it has sat, so I ordered a filter and a seal kit for the right front hydraulic drive motor. They are White Hydraulics Series 520 Rotor Stator motors. Took the wheel off and found the seal had popped out of the bore. Removed the...

Have you checked out this thread? I believe it contains the answers you are looking for in a shop light. Not sure what to tell you on the assembly/clean room. Do you have a budget for lighting?

Same here. In my shop I much prefer the 5000K, but in and around the house, I tip my hat towards 3000K.
