Speaking of reloading benches and man caves...

This is what I've been sorting out in the latter part of my 'staycation' :)

I have two removable inserts in the bench to mount presses/throwers/whatever else I desire to make the bench fully flexible.

Just need to add a lathe and a mill to the cave to make it complete :)

And you can do the laundry whilst loading! Such a modern man.....

So when will it be ready for the inaugural brew?

Unfortunately the washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer have nowhere else to go... think the Mrs would go mad if I suggested they went anywhere else! Took me 6 years to convince her we needed a shed!

As for the brew, text me when you're off over the next week or so as I need to work form home at some point this week/next!

This is what I'm wanting! Got the garage mostly up now (just need a roof and doors!) then I can get the mill in and start thinking about benches etc. Though looking at the space again I think my mill might just be a leetle bit oversize...

Nice cave! How do you rate the pillar drill by the way? I thinking I may "need" one of those...

It's ok.. had it for a few years now. For the money, it's about what you should expect in terms of quality.

The depth gauge broke fairly early on, and the capacity of the drill isn't marvellous, but for small general stuff it's ok. I'm going to upgrade to a proper floor standing pillar drill at some point though..

Give it time, I only finished it at the weekend... tongueout

TV can be watched via the laptop, until I buy a new TV for the living room and shuffle the rest of the TV's in the house about a bit!

A placeholder for a floor standing pillar drill ;)
