Butcher's Hook - Day 00 - Workshop reassembly & tool tests
As I type this, Slipknot just came on Octane 20 (Dead Memories, classic had it been Butcher's Hook (7:09 pm NYC))
Anyway, since the warm weather is coming I moved my temp upstairs workshop back down to the garage. Mess 1
mess 2
mess 3
big mess 4
After I got the table set up, I whipped out some stuff I got yesterday. Angle grinder, various disks, some corner clamps, and some scroll saw spirals, since I had one left
The dremel cutoff disks went hiding when the 4.5's came out lol
As I was laying out my hand-tools / common-tools to put on the relief table, I realized its a good pic to take so anyone starting out at modding can get an idea of what you should stock if you plan to get into modding as a regular thing (beer optional)(well, not really, but ya know)
everything back in its place
decided to attack the mess on the back wall which I wanted to do last summer during Intelli. Finally moved the x's crap inside the basement and begane setting up MY space how I want it
the extra shelving that has been in my way since last summer was first
A bit more orderly. not finished, but better. The scroll saw is gonna go on the left when I get rid of the roland drum boxes, then the drill press (which is still upstairs) will go next to my main table (left of it)
ok enough workshop stuff, lets see project stuff...
STEEL!
2 * 12" x 12" x 1/16" (covered in machine oil)
3/8" x 3' x 2" for hook trolley rail
noew thats a piece of steel mates
1"x1"x1/8" thick steel tube (2 * 6') and 3/16" steel rod (2 * 6')
and I am glad I ordered 3' instead of 1', as you can see its short. I needed 12" exactly
well, how we gonna cut this heavy steel? With a dremel, with a saw? That's not a saw...
now that's a saw!!
when this big boy came out the 4.5's went to go hide with the dremel disks, I still cant find any of them
slapped a piece of aluminum channel bar on there (from intelli rails, if you recall) When dremelling these during Intelli, it took 5-10 mins to cut thru, continuously fighting off blade binding
fired up this saw as a test
after that I tried some 1/8" steel flat bar
literally like butter
the 14" chop saw made sick quick work of the test pieces, with not much more noise than a circular saw (wear ear plugs always).
Since it was raining and I couldnt weld test anyway I fore-went cutting the steel square tube. All of that will have to wait until next weekend, when the project starts, starts.
thanks for watching
