Workshop sooner?!

[Deansocial]

there is a very high pitch noise from a cnc. it would drive you mad all day

Like working with jmb then

Nice jmb! Your one luckyan to build a workshop and get a cnc for it as well! Are you getting a panel saw as well?

 

[Frank Pellow]

Just to let you know that I am enjoying this thread and admiring your design.  [thumbs up]

 

[jonny round boy]

So JMB, are we going to see you on Grand Designs then? [big grin] It'll certainly be an interesting build & fit-out...

 

[jmbfestool]

you say you are starting in 2 weeks, I presume you need planning permission etc??

Off course  had planning for the building when I started this thread a while ago  but just recently applied to have the upstairs changed to living accommodation privately which has been passed.

Well my TOP 6 machinery I want first are

Thicknesser    (separate)
Surface planer  (separate)
Band Saw
Spindle Moulder
Extractor
CNC

Then
ill be looking at other stuff later on see how cash flow is like at the time.

Cus I gotta be spending on making benches and draws shelving/racking electric wiring etc  which can easily cost a lot of money

lol I wish  some of them building on grand designs are AMAZING! I would love to do stuff like they do on grand designs.

great.. got a bit confused what with the new design.. then saying starting in 2 weeks, thought the planners must be a whole load faster in your area than mine! This thread is going to be existing to watch once the build starts, looking fwd mate!

Cool topic, maybe this will help.
It's my current workshop, the space is sort of similar. But mine sits inside our machine hall where it shares the space with a couple tractors, a combine and other farming stuff.
The good part about that is that semi trucks can actually drive into my workshop and drop the wood right next to the saw!
So i potentially have a gigantic space, but usually i am confined to something like 5mx16m.
As you can see my assembly area with the workbenches is separated and insulated from the rest of the space. Mainly because it's impossible to heat the entire hall, but the advantage is that the dust making machines are separated and i can use them while something is drying inside without contaminating it.

The windows are at 2m high, it's nice to have natural light without the distraction of direct view (also nobody can directly see me or my tools)

Theres a panel saw, jointer, miter saw bench which also holds a drill press and mortiser, theres a band saw, spindle moulder and drum sander. this is the setup that i have now and that i find works well and gives me good infeed and outfeed space around the tools.

 

[jmbfestool]

You have a massive available working area!  I would steal the entire space lol I couldnt keep my self in a confined space like you have lol

JMB

They do smaller stuff too, y'know. Seriously, you should get in touch with them. You might even be able to negotiate better prices on some stuff, if the companies know there's a good chance they'll be seen on screen. E-mail address is on the channel 4 website...

Yes, but i am gradually expanding my lebensraum to ze east as my collection of tools and wood increases!

lol I know but this build seems naff in comparison.  I would feel embarrassed asking for them to come and filmed it.  They be like whats special about this building.  [embarassed]

Hi JMB

Kevin LcCloud is into 'eco' things so perhaps you could put some sort of eco slant on what you are doing. He made a comment on the One Show about the barn that I built - he thought it was very 'eco' - whoopee!

Maybe you could generate electricity from your household waste and power your CNC with it!

Peter

 

[jmbfestool]

I have looked into going eco with the building.  Would be nice that it can produce its own electricity and heating.

I have looked into these large workshop heaters cost of £10k which would heat up the workshop AND the upstairs with all the wood waist I produce.

Of course solar panels!  Would be nice if they brought out in-fared solar panels before the build was complete but I doubt it.

You saying you can produce enough electricity to power 3phase cnc and other machinery?

Well its costing me £3200 to have 3phase installed

JMB

 

[Deansocial]

Doubt you can produce that much. I worked on a place that had 30 pv panels and a wind turbine in the field and still made the genorator kick in several times with handheld power tools

to make it eco.
i would put 300mm of exterior grade poli iso insulation on the outside of the walls. and another leaf of 4 block out side it with a slight air cavity .
put 200mm at least under the slab and tied into the insulation on the wall.
triple glazed windows and doors
400-500 mm of bat insulation in the ceiling.

put in a wood burning  stove (or furnace if you can) and put the heat into a very large insulated buffer tank . light that when you are in the shop and pump it around your shop rads adn upstairs if there is any left. use your normal upstairs  heating only upstairs.

Already had plans on using triple glazing with that more efficient gas.
The stove/furnace I would like it to heat upstairs as well as workshop but mainly upstairs as having a lot of heat downstairs is not really necessary for me I like going out in a T-shirt in the cold so I soon get to hot and it will make me go sleepy.

I want to insulate it very well but not making the build cost way to much.

JMB

 

[Alan m]

we dont want you sleepy anyway jmb.

i know you want to keep the cost down but insulation is the cheapest way to heat your home.
the reason i i would put the primery heat scource(big stove or furnace)  down stairs is that you will be down there during the day and be able to keep it going. then you wont have to heat up the upstairs when you "get" home.
i would still put one or two rads down stairs adn turn them down (or TRVs) . on freezing days you will want heating.
