24th February 2018 - Workshop Update

Bummer got this side panel in the wrong way round  

I will have to either remove the cabinet from the wall and turn it around,

or the easier option is to use a grinding disc n cut a slot  

Not sure which just yet, will think on it  

Temp place for Wifi Booster areal,

altho it works good without it from the box in the house with a full signal,

it is slow, this nearly trebles the speed,

making browsing that much pleasanter  

Another bag of polystyrene packaging,

to go up to the Computer Room,

in the next few days  

Found some more empty Slim-fast cans, whilst moving stuff around  

This tub, is a mixture of new stainless steel nuts, bolts n washers -

To be sorted out as I go  

Right lets see if I can make a hole around the pillar drill today  

Old storage boxes,

ready to be moved to other end of workshop to be sorted and put in there new homes  

I CAN SEE THE BENCH  - Just !

Starting to fill another bag of packaging material  

Test fitting the storage boxes backing plate

Just found these 

That's one in place,

I just need to drill a hole thru the bottom of the cupboard to bolt it together 

and in goes the top row of screws,

but monitors in the bloody way ! 

So move it back onto the Sand Blaster cabinet for now

That's better

and loads of screws later the backing plate is firmly attached to the wall 

I even have a clear space to work with (Such a novelty at the moment )

Test Fitting

They bloody tight, but they eventually go on 

I start to bring the old boxes, along with any loose nuts bolts washers 

OK its still a bit messy now, but definitely a hole appearing 

Right I need to move the boxes n stuff that's been sat in front on the sand blaster for over 6 months  

and this lot!

I cant remember whats in this box as brought sometime last year !.

But I am hoping its a new trolley, which I hope to be mounting the Sand Blaster Cabinet too - so it can be moved outside when I need to blast items  

Yep I am stood up for a few mins,

most of the day was spent in my comfy chair  

Pipe Bender ????

Moved opposite next to the bike bench for now

and my stomach decides to block the view of the space I have made :) :)

The container backing board I have screwed to the wall earlier

will be for Nuts, Bolts n Washers only  

all in correct sizes  

I expect many of these boxes will fill up as I sort the workshop out

Some are currently empty

As I know I have bolts these lengths  

Starting to Look nice n smart  

Getting there slowly

Found some more tubs of 6 - 8 mm bolts nuts n washers

With sorting thru the tubs in the workbench is starting

We are Sarting to make real progress on this hole  

I am getting more happier as more worktop space is slowly being revealed  

couple more boxes found  

All piling up near were I am sorting out the 6mm Nuts, Bolts n Washers

Mixed box finds some more 6mm bolts and some of the empty trays start to fill up  

another new container made up and ready to go on the mount board  

Starting to sort out

the lengths of 6mm bolts

Now its the turn of 6mm Allen Bolts

which are piling up on me as I was sorting thru the boxes  

and they soon on the board with the rest  

Next is the 6mm Counter sunk Bolts

then its washer time  

couple of boxes

of assorted washers to be gone thru  

And finally its Nuts  

Empty containers are stored in a cabinet for now  

The rack is full up, with a few spare boxes  

Old boxes with nuts bolts n washers in to be sorted

god its a mess

Hoping to move this tomorrow or next week,

as the seat storage box is coming to bits as I need more width space in the workshop  

Gay Gordon sucks up the mess

Time to put a lot of the bits from here into cabinet for now.

so I can move the laptop n screen quickly

when I want to move the sand Blaster  

But its still not safe to work on CBRTIM  

In fact on next week or so,

I am gonna have to somehow lower CBRTIM onto its wheels and push it outside

so I can rework the workbench position and sort a few other bits out  

Maz Edwards - be careful....

Stephen Osborn - 

Need to find homes for this lot

even if its only at back of workshop for now!

Gay Gordon sucks up the mess on the floor,

Giving me a nice working area  

yep its the trolley, I ordered

so time to pull it out

and start to assemble it  

once upon a time a long long time ago,

I would have this assembled

in less than an hour

and trebles that time  

but its all bolted together and on its wheels  

Whilst I know the trolley is long enough,

its not Wide enough, and just beside me on the floor I happen to have some 3mm angle iron,

that will do the job nicely
