The biggest part of the aluminium profiles needed for my tables has been delivered.
I think to finish my first table at the end of this week. It’s quite a puzzle to put everything together, and to make no mistakes.
I’m planning 8 sockets fort his table.
And I’ve already modified them
Soon the first table will be ready, and I’ll need a forklift to set it straight.
Although it’s made of aluminium, it’ll still be heavy
About a month ago, I told you guys I was going to make my last table. Because not all parts had been delivered yet, I made a smaller one first.
The penultimate table This one is 200x64cm, and completely made out of aluminium.
What I’m going to use this for, I will tell you later. There’s still too much in my head of things that aren’t on point yet.
In the background you can also see that I divided the garage in 2 by descending the roller curtain.
We’ve managed to blend this in in a very nice way, and I’m very happy with the result.
About the aluminium part, I immediately thought that I could screw this into each other quickly…forget it.
The first problem was that I could not mount the supplied wheel directly under the legs (8x8cm). So I makde 4 plates out of 12mm thick, and screwed these underneath.
I had to laugh at the wheels that they had supplied me. They Looked very shoddy, but once everything was finished, they turned out perfectly.
I provided the table with 2 boxes of 4 sockets.
Then I put the uppermill in it, to make some room for the cables.
Because I'm right handed, I’ve also put the outlets on the right side
The advantage of this profile is that you can plug-in threaded screws (m4-5-6-8) everywhere you want, and move them anywhere you want.
On this side I added some more of those things.
On the other side I would like to mount a folding machine (pleating machine).
How I'm going to do this, and make this, I haven’t even thought about.
I also do not know the ins and outs of how to make a folding machine, but maybe my friend Goole will know…Or maybe there are people here who can give me some tips and tricks?
You can also see that I've tapped screwthread into the holes on the top plate. (m8)
On the top, I can tighten whatever I want, where ever I want.
So far the table.
What's going on behind the curtain at the workshop, is not quite finished.
Not that much to do anymore, but when you want perfection, it just demands you put a lot of time in it.
The YAMAHA speakers also heve been suspended from the ceiling.
Onto a certain height, I placed some Volkern (trespa- plates of 6mm thick.
I certainly wanted this material. It’s superstrong, and you can wash this quite easily.
Once I had the plates, I thought "I'm going to stick against the wall with tec 7 in a couple of minutes”
Forget it.
You should not glue this material directly against the wall.
If you do this right may warp over time.
Now, if you know what it costs, you should not take the risk.
So I first glued some 2cm strips against the wall.
Then I sprayed a loooooooooooot of cans Tec7 on the wall, mounted the Trespa, and then clamped it tight.
