Re: DIFFERENT TYPE OF SHOP

Ron, sorry for the slow response.
The main work I do now that I'm retired is Turning / Power Carving / Welding / Tables. I bought the conveyer because it was cheap and I use it mainly for moving and supporting steel and rebar to align for cutting and support for welding. Most of the tables I currently make are for shop equipment and I put them on welded / rolling stands. This requires no maintanence or worries about dents or dings plus making it easier to roll outdoors during our warm summers ( highest this summer 115 in shade, but with a slight wind and in the shade its rather comfortable) and mild winters ( 70's), and the humidity is generally 35 - 45 % except when the monsoons come in August / September. I have also welded a tool holder to hold 12 gouges / chisels / chucks /eye wear and gages. I have an outdoor 4'x4' welded table and when the rust gets to bad or there is too much paint / oil I just sand it down. There is no warping so the table is always flat. The rest of the tools are for general repairs and fixing continual opportunities around the house.
Guess I rambled too much for just two questions, what would happen with 4. I guess I've been retired to long.

Re: DIFFERENT TYPE OF SHOP

GEide,Thank you for your comments and interest. All shelves, carosel,wall panels and conveyor were bought when a Linens Plus closed one of their stores. The customers interest were in bargins for linen, bedding and table cloths and my interest was in setting up a functional shop cheaply.

TimR I never thought of it that way, but you are correct. Maybe that was in the back of my mind when I saw all the display cases. It does make everything easy to find and rearrange as needed. When I move my lathe outdoors I also roll out the carosel containing all my skews, gouges, chucks, etc.
