Thanks! I will have to check it out, thanks!

Great adaptation making what you have work for what you need as you grow and expand the vision you have for your shop. An idea to consider on your floor might be to pour a small reinforced slab for each piece of equipment. Also for insulation you might want to consider using rigid foam insulation board, that way any condensation that accumulates will not be absorbed. Also think about a drip edge/gutter flashing along the side where your metal roof meets the wood siding. That would cap the end of your siding material and divert the roof run off to on end where you could then control where it runs off to. Any outside ground drain you do make sure that you don't dig it right up to the edge of your building and you leave 12" of undisturbed ground you aren't pulling more water to where you are trying to get less...Just some thoughts to consider that I hope can be helpful to you...

Thanks for all the tips! Yeah, I poured a little slab for a vibratory tumbler in the past. Maybe I will do that for the Tormach 1100MX if I get it in the future. I think water is running down the front overhang. Not sure how to put a drip edge on the corrugated edge. I see the unpainted trim board is water damaged and that’s where most of the water damage on the door header is. Yeah, maybe a couple layers of thinner foam for the roof might work.

Proof that you can never have too many tools - However the tool shed can be too small..

THANKS for the tour!! Enjoy seeing your improvements and growth... and... keep up the entrepeneurial spirit!!

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

Nice. Been wanting to do the same.

I’m doing it now

Hey Craig, are you doing that work full time, or part time and working somewhere else?

Hey! Full time.

Your shear is not set up correct! Feeding it from the backstop side makes for a dangerous cut plus sloppy! Bet you the blade is trying to cut all at once. It should cut from one edge to the other or it will destroy that blade! Check to see if any millwrights are available in your area to do a quick setup. I don't think you are capable of setting it if not familiar. I don't know what you paid for the machine but they are not cheap so a little more expense is worth it. You will ruin that shear if you keep using it and it's not cutting right. Good idea on enclosing the carport, I'm looking into doing similar for My Tractor. Thanks.
