Thread: never thought this day would come

I always enjoy a peek inside your workshop Albert. Big stuff coming and going .
As I read and looked through your pictures and I saw that sander going off on the truck my thought was "What! Your getting rid of that "
It looks like a nice thing to have and is much better than I have for a sander. But then I see you have another one coming so I get it. It makes sense now.
One thing I noticed is your garage door. Do you like that thing ? Looks like it takes up over head space but must be easy to use. Would you prefer anything different for a door there? Barn Doors ?

The garage door is what came with the house when I purchased it 15 years ago. dont mind taking up head space as everything needs to clear the garage door jamb anyway. will need $$ if I want to change

I am still thinking about the sander. Ideally I want something smaller say the likes of 630mm wide so it takes up less space. I have bought a second hand 630 wide sander recently as an interim measure before the new WBS arrives.

the shop is a mess, I will give it a good clean when the new panel saw arrives in October-November. the new saw should free up more space - hence sander decision pending.

This is your garage 😆 It looks like a professionals cabinet manufactures workshop to me .

Hey Albert, I’ve always wondered. What do your neighbours think about what goes on at your place? Don’t you get complaints about noise?

And what does the local council say - don’t they have rules about carrying out a business in a residential area?

Well I have a full time job not related to woodworking. I only turn on the machines between 5-630pm. each time I turn on the machines it only take 3-5 minutes to make a cut/plan/sand. I don’t do any machinery work on Sunday. my compressor is silenced piston compressor, it does not make a lot of noise, about 70db standing 1m from it. In fact most 3 phase machines makes very low pitch noise. A lot quieter than a router+ Vacuum

by the way I am a bit fortunate my left and right neighbour are owned by the same family who only come and stay maybe 1-2 weeks a year.

let me guess your not in Auckland but rather out the Coromandel Peninsular somewhere

Goodness me!! That is awesome.

what thread you on Wongo?

My sander has four lifting/tie down eyes on the top corners. I fitted an electric winch to the roof ridge and winch the sander up into the roof space when not required.
