Although the Website has not been updated nearly as frequently as I had hoped
I have been very busy with other projects which left me little time to look
after the site.
Work on "Sweet Pea" got slower and slower and eventually I realised
the reason for this was that I just had no space to work. The original workshop
was a 8ft. x 6ft. shed and housed a lathe, mill and drilling machine as well
as a bench and all my hand tools. The CNC machines were in the unheated garage
and were showing slight signs of rust.
One day when visiting a friend he showed me his new shed which had just been
erected. I was very impressed by the quality of it and visited the dealers (
Gillies & MacKay ) to view
their range of buildings. One advantage of this company is that they will build
to order or modify any of their buildings to a customers requirements. As the
site available for the shed was only a few feet longer than the shed itself
I had them modify the standard building by puting the door in the side instead
of the end of the shed as in the standard build. Delivery was promised for 10
weeks from the date of the order. This seemed a long wait at the time but as
the delivery date got nearer panic set in!.

Fortunately I was able to call on a few friends to give a hand with the removal
of the machine tools and the demolition of the old shed. Here Tom and Jim are
hard at work while I relax and take some photos. Eventually all the shed pieces
were dismantled and in the photo below you can see it on the grass awaiting
collection by its new owner
