Building my last shop

[NCjeeper]

Very sharp. What is the first project/job?

Not sure I have so many. Probably do the neighbors " hey man can you help me out" stuff since he has been helping me out.

Electrician showed up today. Got the 3 phase drops up. Putting the 110 drops up tomorrow and we will be done with the electrical. Thank goodness because I have spent 10 grand so far. 2/3's of that is on materials. The stuff just keeps going up in price. For instance the high bay lights I put up I paid $130 bucks each for them. They are now $200. Ugh.

I forgot to mention we are putting in male & female twist lock connects at the machines. That way when I need to hover over a machine with the gantry crane I can just un plug the drops, and move the gantry where I need it.

Safety first!

Now the question is will it take you less time to fill it up than it did to build it?

Electrical is done! Fired up all the machines and they all rotated in the right direction.

Hope to pour concrete on Monday in front of the shop entrance. 40x15 pad. After that I am done with the shop build and broke.

Oh my. What will we all do for entertainment when you are complete.
Thanks for bringing us all along on your adventure.

I guess I can do some actually machining now for your viewing pleasure.

There is too much open space. I see more machines finding a new home. Enjoyed following your build. Your hard work has paid off.

Hopefully. Still on the hunt for an HBM and a ironworker.

Ready for tomorrow.
