If I am clever,,,, I am still waiting to get rich.

The idea of locking bolts did cross my mind and the plans showed for nuts and lock washers, except on the z axis. Vibration will be an issue and hoping the lock washers do the trick, if not I will have to put in a service call to......... Oh yea ME.

Appreciate any feed back, I likely saved a motor on the table saw = workbench when I was doing my pipes, as I forgot to cover it and it was picked up by Doug.

Thanks for your kind words.
John

Well I did manage to get my wheels on and they were rated at 125 pounds each. I braced the corners and added a 3/4" board to raise the table enough for the wheels to do their job. If that don't work I will make the next one out of cardboard so eliminate weight.

The fourth photo is the wall at the start at 9:00 am this morning. The 5th and 6th photo is with the machine where it is going to call home,,,,, I hope, Scott will not get a boo at it till tomorrow.

The last couple is a war zone created when the shifting started. The very last photo is the work bench that will be leaving us to make room, I could not get either child to give up their room,,,, don't figure.

I hope I have these photos in the right order.

Bj ......the photo 5 and 6 is as you suggested,,,,,,, a picture of the CNC acting as a work bench,,,, are you happy now.

Hope everyone is making sawdust.

It's getting so exciting now John that I'm having difficulty waiting for each new instalment. It's now obvious that in addition to all the adjectives that I've used to describe you so far,BRAVE must be added.

I see you're using the torsion box as a workbench. Can't really tell from the pictures if you have the bottom skin on the bottom torsion box but I see that you don't have the top skin on. It would definitely help to install both top and bottom skins to keep torsion box from possibly getting out of square and/or damaging the braces.

Good morning to all,

My fun time is over and I have to fit "work into my schedule", I will be carring on and acting like a normal person again,,, you know fun in the shop and that nasty word "work". I put in a 9 - 10 hour day Monday to Friday, so my progress will slow a little.

I ordered my love joy connectors and spider connectors yesterday, as well the larger bearings for the acme rod. They should be here Tuesday of next week,,,,, well this being Nova Scotia,,,, within the next 10 days.

Scott's last night shift was last night and so we can get back on the same page again. We need the motors and driver boards ordered (his job) and I am waiting to chat with him on our programs. I am pretty certain we have this worked out but need to confirm with him, our direction.

My goal tonight is dismattle the old work bench and set up the shop once again, well maybe not all that but whatever can be accomplished. I do need a bigger shop!!!!!!

Doug, I do have the bottom skin on and the shelf will hopefully keep it square. I have all the torsion rods in and tightened, you are right I should get the top skin on,,,,,, an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Did you build a jig for your acme rod (grinding the ends down) or get them machined?

Well time to go and start this fine day. It is an easy day as our cafeterias don't open untill Monday, but set up must start. Hungary people to feed.

Have a great day, and chat soon.
John

I did manage to get into the shop and got the old bench tore out and a mini bench replaceing it. I did get some shifting done but far from over.

Acouple of photos of the nude wall (funny the things you find when dismantaling things) I always wondered where that nut went 6 months ago.

Pretty tired and bath and bed. YEA bath, bed, sounds good.

Chat later
John

Let's see now. You took out a work bench, but gained 2 more. The TS and the CNC.

Morning Mike

Well, if you take a good look (photo #3) I have added a small "side table",,, some call it a jointer. A person can not have too many tables in a shop. I live in a multi cultural country, so I have multi purpose tool tables. I think I am on the cutting edge of a "new fad"

Have a great day.
John
