Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Now to make it slide….
I’d got some wheels left over from something
So I put them in the lathe
To get them to a point so they would fit nicely into some angle iron I planned to use as a channel

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Showing other side of the door - room painted and floor laid
Next job was the floor - I chose these interlocking plastic tiles. They were easy to lay and seem good quality
And finished

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
At long last I was again able to park my daily in there
Wedding prep then started to move forward at a pace
And again
And then on the day
I was really surprised how well everyone fitted in there on the day - and then in the evening this half of the barn became a dance floor. Cracking day was had by all of us

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Some 3 weeks after, the wedding is now just a fond memory and I’ve managed to get the barn back to something like it’s going to be.
Before I can crack on with with deer Uber she itself I’ve had to do some work on the car to get it ready for CLM
I can’t begin to tell you how amazing it is working with a lift. Not just for the jobs underneath the car, but also stuff under the dash or in the footwell - you can just lift the car to chest height and everything is more comfortable
I put a new starter motor and ignition switch in and changed the oil and filter.
That brings you up to this week-end. I’ve now started on the corner unit. That brings it’s own complexity as I want a smoothly turning carousel in the corner which I’m making from an unused acro prop and some lathe-turn Delrin (plastic)
But as Edd would say, that’s a job for another day…..

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Great effort and what a result.
Daughter weddings are a very fond memory occasion.
Having a lift is a real dream for me now age is showing, but don't have the head room.
Lathe looking rusty!

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
So what are you're petrol head plans once the workshop is complete? Other than tinkering and servicing isn't your current fleet pretty low maintenance? With those facilities surely you need a deep resto project in the pipeline?
Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
That is an amazing space and I love that you've done the majority of it yourself. Nice work.

That's a thing these days, my son sports a big curly afro, beard and serial killer steel rimmed glasses. Looks like the love child of Jeffrey Dahmer and Bob Ross. Strange as neither the wife or myself look like either.Sam wrote:Look at these cats. I hope there was some kraftwerk on the playlist for them.

If you're wearing slip on Hush Puppies you might as well end it.
