I'd love to have enough space, that I forgot what I had.
Bob has his own sense of time and space. I think ever since I've known him that Stolly hasn't moved (admittedly only known him a few years). He said he needed to finish concreting the man cave so that he could move crap into there so that it would free up the 101 before he can start on the Stolly. Well the man-cave concreting has just happened after him saying to me it was going to be last summer...????
Any further news to report @8ob ?
Did they use you for the inspiration on the A Team, the bit where they go into a workshop with a spoon, a gas bottle, some bent rebar and come out with Sherman tank. ?Forgot about this thread.
Workshops are functioning, although not completely finished yet I have been at it.
A few bits from today.
Pulley guard on one of the grinders has been bodged for the last time so I ripped it off and made a new one out of 6mm.

Used a slice of 6" pipe for one end and a slice of 4" for the other.

Jockey wheel on one of the chippers had a sheered off pinch bolt ( happens when you kick them tight)
