Title: Trades
Post by: JoJoDapyro on November 27, 2014, 11:36:28 am
I know it wasn't my trade, but I am excited at the opportunity to use some new tools. Tyke traded a canoe for a Lathe with a 40 inch bed, a 6 piece lathe tool kit and a 10 inch table saw last night. Our shop is coming right along.

I would live to fart around with a lathe! My 10x10 unheated shed doesnt have much room though

I also need to get my shop insulated and a heater in it. Mine is in the attic of my garage. The floor area is 24X24, but with the pitch of the roof gives about half of that, I can use the short walls to house workbenches though. I have a window on one tall wall, and a "Door" on the other. My tillering tree was the most difficult place to figure out. Now if I can only convince my wife to let me get a small wood burning stove i'll be set.

I use a 220 volt drywall heater for my shop(22x28 double garage) I've had it for about 25 years. A little noisy going off and on but it keeps me warm.

You know if you just work harder you'll stay warm

I have a coal burning stove in mine, but I bet insulation and Air Conditioning would be more practical.

Working harder doesn't make glue dry when it's below freezing!

The AC is all but taken care of, and as soon as I am not a lazy puke the insulation is mostly there, and the visqueen as well.
