Shop Building

[Fasttrack]

How far apart are your columns? Any problems navigating around them?

Yep, you're totally right re: I-joists. As alluded to in the previous...

Still NH but the next town over. A little closer to work and on a much quieter street! Not too far from where Alan Shepard was born, as a matter of fact....

Thanks Dan - I hadn't thought about the diagonal of a panel. All the wood shops I've had up until now had low ceilings (<8'), so I couldn't even turn...

[Fasttrack]

Well, if everything goes through, I will be moving come January and I will then be building a new shop in the spring. I've got oodles of questions and...

[Fasttrack]

Oh that's very good, sir....

[Fasttrack]

... did anyone notice the skateboard wheels and trucks? Looks like he built the contraption around an electric skateboard. The leaf blower and umbrella...

Same here. Never saw a need for MIG. In fact, my BIL has a nice 3-phase MIG welder but he's gone back to using an old Lincoln cracker box stick welder....

[Fasttrack]

Yep - used all the time to decouple our sensors from various military ground vehicles, too....

[Fasttrack]

And it's worth asking, how often will you really be using all 10 horses? In a non-production environment ... well I'm willing to bet that many of us on...

[Fasttrack]

Well... I guess a lathe is ultimately worth whatever you are willing to pay for it. Seems there are a lot of Southbends in your area that are being listed...

[Fasttrack]

Where are you located? In my neck of the woods, there are at least 4 board houses that do rework and prototyping. At least one of which is very reasonable,...

[Fasttrack]

Nice - sounds very much like what I had in mind only mine will have to be a little smaller otherwise I bump into the leach field. How / why did you choose...

[Fasttrack]

So still thinking about building this new shop... it would be next to a historic, post-and-beam colonial house built in 1830. I'd like to match the look...

[Fasttrack]

Why spend $4500 on a Southbend when you could instead buy a wonderful Atlas lathe for only $700 more?!

Ha! I ran into the exact same thing but with a backhoe. The wording was almost identical but yours is a bit better. In mine the text read something like...

[Fasttrack]

Got it! Looks like you're a fairly new member here so, in case others haven't said it yet, welcome aboard! Glad to have you here....

[Fasttrack]

Plus, it's lime green

Glad you've decided to pass. If you don't mind waiting, you'll find a much better deal out there, I'm sure.

Cox is one of the brands that McMaster carries. I'll have to double check tomorrow which one I ended up with, but I bought a 26:1 gun from McMaster for...

[Fasttrack]

That's generous of you!

I've got nothing to add to this topic but your name caught my eye... any experience with chemical warfare agents?...

[Fasttrack]

I would definitely be working with a contractor and talking to an engineer is probably a good idea. You're statement that what's under the floor is what...
