Progress
21/10/2020 - Ready to start painting. Paint has arrived and Alan has purchased some PVA to seal the floor prior to painting.
23/10/2020 - Most of the floor cleared and primed.- Alan.
24/10/2020 - More of floor cleared and has first coat and wall been prepped and has first coat. Also looked at shelving units and it looks like partition can be made up of the units we have. - Alan Barny and Toby.
25/10/2020 - Second coat on - Toby.
29/10/2020 - Created partition with shelving, cleared out last corner ready for painting - Alan Nicholas and three little helpers.
30/10/2020 - Finished painting floor, and walls - might need another coat - Alan
Ready for painting
Partition in place
03/11/2020 - Move the machinery back into place, discuss electrics, Matt to install 3 phase switches - Alan, Toby, Barny and Julien
15/11/2020 - Started wiring up 3 phase switches and sockets under guidance from Matt. Main feed is split between the two switches and then each switch splits into a feed for a socket and machine. - Toby
23/11/2020 - Willy has donated some electrical conduit and other electrical bits - Alan
30/11/2020 - Hard wired lathe and drill into 3 phase power and added switches and sockets
01/12/2020 - Drill switch is faulty and making the breaker trip. New switch needs to be ordered.
Aims
- Make use of the new space
- Make workshop easier to use
Partition off other tenants
This provides two purposes, to protect other tenants a bit from dust and sparks and to better define HS areas It does have to be some what moveable to allow large items (Cars) to maneuver, although this is likely to be a fairly infrequent event.
Layout of equipment
It would be good to define space for main usage
- Welding (tig & mig)
- Casting
- Cutting & Grinding
- Lathe
- Metal storage, wall mounted rack
- Tool storage
Do we need two big drills?
No. Second drill has never been connected. Third drill will never be repaired.
Bigger question is how we can make that heavy steel table more useful? Mounting points for ring roller and metal brake Way to attach a vice for the drill.
Move the milling machine from Lion House
and any useful tooling - done
How many workbenches do we need
This will be clearer when we do a layout but suspect we can get rid of one
Some sort of covering/protection for lathe (and milling machine)
Very much needed
First aid station
Very much needed
PPE & HSE storage
Somewhere to store PPE like Masks, Ear defenders, Safety glasses etc
Needed - some in multiples
- Over ear defenders https://www.toolstation.com/ear-defenders/p56509
Eye protection4 pairs ordered- Gloves
- Welding mask (only one is currently working)
Fire extinguisher(We have bought a foam extinguisher £15 came from toys'r' us)- Steel bucket full of sand would be great.
What kind of minimum induction require for use of space
I think we need a basic workshop safety induction which would cover:-
Covid awareness including signing in
General use PPE to include eye, hand and hearing protection
Access and locking up
Parking
Roller shutter
Keeping place clean and tidy
This would also cover general tools:
- grinders
- TCT chopsaw
- air tools
Further induction would be required for more dangerous/complicated equipment
- Lathe
- Casting
- Welding - MIG, TIG and stick
- Milling machine
Any tools we need/want
- Lathe measurement tools, dial indicator with base, vernier calipers
- Lathe specific spanners etc.
- Storage for tooling
- Drill bits
- Drill vice (magnetic)
- Mag drill https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evolution-Power-Tools-EVOMAG42-Industrial/dp/B006BRFPBA
- Annular cutters
- Anvil
- Screwdriver set https://www.toolstation.com/draper-soft-grip-screwdriver-set/p40303
- Adjustable spanner set https://www.toolstation.com/adjustable-wrench-set/p62431
