fv1609 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Well Chappers has got a very tidy worksop/shed. By way of contrast look at this lot. Amateur radio station G4MBS inside Trailer, 2-Ton, 4-Whld. Two Shorlands, grey one MOTed & taxed (for sale) & sand one not been out for 10 years! Hornet FV1620 + stores Pig stye! FV1609 on left, FV1612 on right Apologies for so many pictures, but it is difficult to communicate the sense of chaos in the workshops! I have a choice I can spend 2 years tidying everything up or just get on with doing what I want to! Edited September 24, 2008 by Marmite!!

fv1609 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If you tidy up Clive you will never find anything again - live with the mess. At present valuable time can be lost if I drop a washer or something. The real pain is not enough room so that stuff gets stored on the vehicles. The roof leaks a bit that doesn't help & everything easily gets buried in angle grinder dust. If it's a nice day I can drive a vehicle outside to make the mess there. But it's during the rainy season that I find I have to do most of the work. There is a strange logic in that I know more or less where most things are.

ashley Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi Mick, love the Bonswer truck, have driven many types over the years. the oldest having a 500/550cc villiers engine in it and also had a kick start rather than being turned over by a handle in the front. The posher model's had electric start /indicators and headlights well posh and still great at pulling wheelies :-D I am sure you know the company is still in business (up till about 2 years ago) Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Hardyferret Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 HardyFerret Why don't you tell the folks what you've got hidden away in the air raid shelter. I think that counts as a shed too. :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that must be a posher model then because its got electric start too! I look forward to doing that up, it belongs to the boy, and so do all the mowers. I'm not really keen on the mowers much but I think this one should be an interesting project. Thanks and Regards, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Clive must comend you on you shed thought only mine could look like that Well I did have a little bit of a tidy up first, I must confess. I have great admiration for those who can maintain the logic & discipline of a clean workshop. But I can remember there used to be pictures in magazines of amateur radio 'shacks' generally all neat & tidy with rows of Japanese boxes then occasionally there was a picture of a mess shack with wires everywhere, bits of equipment half built & tools all over the place. I used to think that at least he builds something & gets in there with soldering iron etc. But todays hobby is a bit messier. As Jerry will testify when he saw me at work today. I can't get round the vehicle properly to weld etc so I have to drive it into the open & squelch around in mud, not helped by wife on her horse doing a big dung where I am working (that is the horse I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Clive, Do you think your wife ( or maybe the horse ), is trying to tell you something ? Richard Richard unless you have a deeper knowledge than me, I haven't looked closely but I think the problem is that there is no storage capacity. Hay one day means dung the next, there are random depositions all over the place. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Given that the horse's capacity for exudation that it has no control over, I feel confident that my wife has no more ability to influence this given her difficulties of operating forward & reverse gears.

Hay one day means dung the next, :-D :-D :-D :-D that may be so, but you do find human beings cr*pping all over the place, you want to train them to do it all in one place, will save a lot of work clearing up........then more time to work on the Humbers ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
