Today in the Shed

LunaBrille

Damn, so thats what organization looks like. I am too embarrassed to post a picture of my shop in its current state.

Philter

Bloody hell Punkin, that's an impressive line up of SD gear.

I'd love to see it first hand. A man with some dosh could go nuts in there :))

punkin

Get a few blokes over here shopping every now and then. Rossco and Stubbydrainer have both done a couple of shopping basket trips as have some others =P~

SDeurope

Really nice, @punkin! Nothing beats a properly ordered lineup.

I wouldn't know. About the time I get mine about 1/2 filled in, Punkin and Smaug raid it.
Mercilessly.

Stocked the shed yesterday and today after the sea freight shipment came in yesterday. Shelves look much better now they are stocked. Plenty of stock in reserve of most items too. There is still a few items that i am low on so an express order will be going in within a week or so. If anyone needs something that is not showing live on my site now is the time to speak up with an email or PM.

Can't believe how quick the new space swallowed up 8 cbm.

Lloyd

I'll take one of whatever you are out of. :D

Looks good Punkin!

jonno

Show us some photos of those boilers!

punkin

The 200l one is sold, so still crated up, but i'll take some photos of some of the 380's and 120's. There is a 120 on top of a 380l that looks real good for scale.

Lloyd

That's some mighty strong shelving you got there. No sagging at all from all that weight that I can see from the pictures.

Hey punkin, I just have to comment on your walls, the lack of thickness, insulation and burglary protection on the walls of the way we have it here in the North .. Would I have so much GOOD and easy selling products other words, risk of theft when thieves had rubbed his hands ..... and a simple plate wall do you get through with a cordless nibbler for 2-4 minutes and almost noiselessly ....yes there are new models that are really quiet in plate ...

Have you always warm weather year round with you, you have no period in which the temperature at freezing temperatures?

Insulation also insulates against heat and cold ..... Much heat is worse than the very cold weather, you can not take off more than into the skin ...

You need to build out the SD learns to grow rapidly when it has come a little more in the larger size of both columns and boilers and I will help with what I can contribute, I hate the Germans' monopoly in Europe ...

looks good punkin;-)

Cheers :ar!

SDeurope

@harley, yes the Germans think they have it all in their hands, and rob anybody blind on their "premium" equipment. Let's see how that goes when we start exhibiting at fairs...

punkin

We get down into hard frosts Harley. Occasional snow shower half an hour up the road, but we usually have -2 to -5 or so in mid winter and warming up during the day. Aussies don't seem to spend enough time in the shed to insulate them.

Theives are not such a big problem round here, and if they did get in they'd be after the power tools or the motorcycles rather than bits of stainless most likely.

Moonshine

I'd recommend a kangaroo instead of watchdog. :D

If they make a "conscience decision" to break into someone's dwelling or shed, they should understand that the owner would also make a "conscience decision" to protect it.

Aye! Never mind the dog... Beware of OWNER!

emptyglass

I'm watching you keenly. I reckon your on to something good here. More surface area the better.

googe

Aussies don't seem to spend enough time in the shed to insulate them. I spend more time in the shed than the house, it's the Aussie way lol

In the shed today, was going to use my electric element boiler (3600W) to run 40L of UJSM

Bugger decided to go and cause an earth leak on me mid way thru heating up.

googe

That's a beastie complimenting loo, very nice!. I had to pee after that video haha. Was the ABV down cause you were running it harder?. Which plate was less active in the pics?. Lots of questions!.

Law_Of_Ohms

middle plate was less active

3plates = ~high %80 sounds correct to me.. ??

RedDoorDistillery
