Cheers Pops. I was a pleasure to show you around although I would hardly call it a warehouse
All this metal work is making me hungry to do more which is continually putting woodwork on the back burner.

Hi Bob,
On the grinder turntable - the grinder [green] at the front appears to have a multi-tool as well as a grinding wheel on the same side - have never seen this sort of configeration before - I had to remove my wheel to add the multi-tool - any chance of another pix of the set up if this is the case?
Providing I am seeing it correctly of course.
Regards,
Bob

Welding bay/Fume hood
I've been distracted building a Grinder pedestal and upgrading my metal work bandsaw but finally got back to shed out fitting last weekend. I would have posted this earlier but last sunday night I managed to dump a half a cup of coffee onto the keyboard of my laptop and fried the lot !
A few months back I built a small welding table and am now in the process of building a fume hood that can wrap around the top of the table.
The welding table is only 900 x 600 mm - the fume hood covers an area of 1 x 1 m.

So far I have built the shell and the lower half. The lower (sitting/leaning on the welding table) is yet to be bolted to the top half.
Materials are 25 x 25 x 2 mm SHS frame and some left over mini orb from lining the metal work section of the shed.
The 0.6 mm galv plate I picked up from a local steel merchant on special @ $15 for a 2.4 x 1.2 m sheet.
Here is a shot peering up from underneath

A bathroom fan type extractor will be fitted to a plenum which will vent through that 6" galv pipe direct to the outside of the shed.
Bi-folding full wrap around doors will be fitted to the front so I can better shield the nearby lathe from sparks and grinding grit/dust.
I'll also be fitting a light inside the fume hood and a couple of narrow shelves.
I could vent my shed continually an dvery quickly using my externally located 3HP DC but the welding fumes would clog up the bags something awful.
Instead I will use the fume hood to vent most off the fumes while welding and then when I have finished clear the shed with the DC.
I also will occasionally use it as a spray paining booth for small stuff, now that is something one does not want to get on DC bags.Last edited by BobL; 1st October 2019 at 09:49 PM.

The ventilated welding booth is an excellent addition. More food for thought.

Great looking hood, and shed! Are you putting a steel top on the welding bench?

Ok, looked like ply or something to my un-augmented eyes! I enjoyed looking around your shed photos generally, checking out your kit. Very well setup

In 1985 I fitted out a two room, almost metal and dust free lab (using lots of wood and plastic). I did the lot - electrics, plumbing, plastic welding, painting, built in benches etc. The two rooms had a total of 13 circuit breakers (24 power points) 5 taps, 4 x 800 cfm air flow fans and aheap of hot plates and heated tanks of acid. There is no way this would be permitted these days with all the OHS rules etc. Th plan for this lab was to get us something that would last for 5 years while we worked on getting something more substantial. We finally got our new labs 17 years later. Meanwhile the lab I built just kept going and going without any major problems except the air conditioner (not installed by me) could not cope and every now and then it would die!
The lab was used for lots of things but mainly for research on polar ice and snow.
When we were looking around for a name for the I suggested SIDRAT (Tardis backwards) because it was smaller on the inside than the outside.
In the end it was called the femtolab because we could measure lead in water with a sensitivity of 0.000000000000001 g of Pb, per g of water.
Femto (symbol f) is the prefix for 10^-15 (milli, micro, nano, pico, femto).
Normally lead in water is in the nanogram/g range except in Antarctica where it is in the pico to femto gram per gram range.
