New Shed shaping up
Last year I started Building myself a new Garage in Sydney. I built the Garage around my Mill and A year on I finally have power and can start Tinkering. I got the Little Myford up and running tonight. Next up Figure out if I can run the 2 speed 3 Phase mill off a VFD or if I need to source a new VFD compatible motor.

Hi Andre,
That lathe stand could do with a couple of struts to stop it moving about ! I've just made a tool drawer for mine.Best Regards:

Hi Andre,
That shed is looking awesome. I'm happy for you that you can finally start tinkering again.
The lined walls always look so much more pleasing and warmer to the eye than the colorbond.
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

Looks good Andre,
With the tools you have mentioned since joining us years ago, I imagined you would have a shed 50 metres long
Good idea to line your shed as it gives you more surface area to hang stuff from and insulates slightly.
Another positive is that it keeps the atmosphere away from machine surfaces.Ongoing airborne corrosion can be really to difficult to deal with as any shiny surface gets rusty ,fast around Mackay anyway.
How hard is it to keep rust / corrosion at bay in your part of Sydney?

I have been semi Busy. I have got the Hercus 260g running with some parts from Mal , and got the Hartford going. I bought a "Digital phase converter " from a mob in Melbourne and whilst I haven't taken the cover off it it appears too just be a VFD and a transformer. But it runs the 2 speed motor on the mill so I have no complaints so far.

That rag at the feed and leadscrew is a handy accessory.
