Bobs Workshop Extension

[bobtskutter]

It's been far too long since I posted an update, better do something about that!

New electrics have gone in. There used to be two double sockets, now there's 18, so plenty of outlets to plug tools into.
New roller shutter door went in, replacing the original "up and over" (or may be that should be "up and fall off runners") door.
And I've installed an air filter system.

The air filter system pumps 1100m3/hr of air through a G4 and F7 filter. F7 is 50% retention of greater than 1micron. But, the garage is 60m3 volume so the entire air volume is filtered in 3min 16seconds. Or 18 air changes per hour. I'm pretty chuffed with the degree of over engineering that went into the system, and a lot of 3D printing.



Regards
Bob

edited to correct the numbers, the garage is 2.8m x 2.4x x 6m, with a 45degree pitch roof, so that's 60m3 not 25m3. Doh, my maths really should be better than that.

Good progress! I am sure you are looking forward to using the new space for many years to come

@bobtskutter I have enjoyed following your workshop extension project. Any more progress updates/photos or have you wrapped everything up?

@SoonerFan sure, here you go...
I finished insulating the space by building a removable foam wall Infront of the steel roller door. The outside temperature has been down to -3c in December and a 500w heater kept the space at 15c. So I'm happy with that
I've also been working on storage solutions, building wall cabinets, tool tracks, rail storage etc.
