Thx all

Just a hobby shop ehanson

3 phase via rotary converter tho I am working on a high voltage issue that I have run into when I started adding a vdf to a bandsaw

unless I missed it earlier, can you talk about your hobby and what you will most likely do with this machinery?
Looks like you could make a crankshaft from scratch...
please keep the pics coming

Not to distract from the OP's thread. I met a guy couple years ago that lives about 15 miles from me. Met him at a car show where I had my offroad buggy. Started visiting with him and discovered he had a Machinist shop in his backyard. I needed a shaft built and was more than willing to have a local guy do it. I went to his place the next weekend with my old shaft. He took me into a medium sized pole barn covered with vines and tree limbs. Inside was something similar to the OP's shop. I was speechless. This guy had a great shop and is a great machinist.

So, if he just uses it for his "hobby" it's cool by me. Hopefully his neighbors will "discover" him some day.

Projects vary, I like old tools, machines etc. anything rusty that needs fixing!

 

[plastikosmd]

Ok onto projects!
First project
Nice to to be tripping over myself

Plenty of room to tune up the husqvarna!

The 3320 Deere, scissorlift and 42' boom lift are also in there.the big military Clark forklift will also be in there once I address the leaky hydraulics
Next on list, 250r 3 wheeler needs rear brakes,forklift needs mast bearing,3phase needs a bit more work, another cnc to install(maybe)

List is growing...

Here is what I did for some storage

The green shelf unit, most of the stock and all hardware on unit was from a machine shop going out of business, $200

This is all hidden under the stairs going up to wood shop
I also have the compressor and rotary converter in there to keep things quiet
Those were both craigslist finds also

Bike done, breaks on trike done, 3 ph is mostly worked out,bandsaw converted to vfd

Tomorrow auto lifts are to be delivered
Pics to follow

Awesome shop. Just needs worked in.

A tractor and a dirt bike. The guy's got it made.

 

[plastikosmd]

That bike is trying to kill me. Time to let it go. I love the bike, I love the style but wayyyy to much power for the trails I have(rock, streams etc). It is stupid fast (think cr500 power)
Will put it up in the spring once the snow clears. Maybe go with a smaller vintage 4 stroke or get another rokon

Us old guys always blame it on the bike...... :
