Hi Guys,
Posted this over on Aussie Blade as well. Havent been making much in the way of knives of late. Been busy with life!
Have been working on a few grinders and also upgrading my shop. I put a Mezzanine level in last year for storage and now I am enclosing under the Mez, to create a dust room. I am planning on having 3 grinders in here (Radius master, 2x72 GIB and Disc all Variable Speed), 2 x Drill presses, lathe and welding bench. Going to have an decent dust extraction system out side the room that will create negative pressure in there and also have suction points at each station.
This will keep all the dust and crap out of my main shop. I hope to update these photos as I go. So far I have completed all the frame work, and today got all the wiring done. Just need to sheet that walls out, fit off the power points and lights and hang the doors (So should be finished this year!!!)
The shop inside the shop is 4m long, 2.4m wide and 2.3m high. 6 x twin gpo's and 3 x twin fluros. Going to be sheeted out with 7mm ply and painted white. Also going to seal the floow and paint it also. The door frame is a double door frame(1640mm wide). I will probably have stuff up against one of the doors. I can then move it if I need to get anything big in and out.
