Thanks!
I'm planning another big shop renovation
The only thing I did differently was I emailed the pic to myself instead of exporting as jpeg from Preview.
Looks like a place alot of good things happen.
It's definitely a place where a lot of mistakes are made
I like it. My place is organized chaos too. But I did separate wood working from metal working. No curtain or walls. But there is a big multilevel storage rack system in between them that I got from a pet shop when they were renovating. They were taking them to the scrap yard. But they are heavy duty racks rated for skids so I offered to drive them away for them! Wish I was there two days earlier.

I got rid of my woodworking tools from my shop too. Some out in the barn, others in the basement. Garage went strictly metal. I made the mistake a couple weeks ago of cutting some 2x4s out there It was cold outside . on the miter saw, and was instantly reminded of why mixing the two in one space is a bad idea lol. I'm still reminded of it weeks later as the wood dust just gets everywhere.
Looks like a great space David.

Part of the reason for the wall is to gain some more wall space.
It works pretty well for my small projects. I wouldn't want to build a set of kitchen cabinets in there. Well maybe I wouldI got rid of my woodworking tools from my shop too.

Looks like the piece they use to hold bricks and blocks above doors and windows but the Mason's labourer only measured once.....
That's exactly what it is/was. Problem was they needed the reverse; the cutouts and holes needed to be on the short side.
Fellow said they expected to have more mis-made pieces... Woohoo for me!
An excellent idea!

Just received mine...how is it hard to install?
No idea to be honest but I don't expect it to be that hard.
What machine are you installing it on?

You will have to make some of your own brackets. I used a few pieces of the kit brackets but had to fabricate a bunch of stuff.
Have you seen my install thread?
DRO install on a LC-30A mill (RF-30 clone)
Thought folks here might want to see how I'm progressing on my DRO install. One of the things I mused over was whether to put the X-axis scale on the fron or back of the table. Front mean I keep all my Y-axis travel and it's easier to mount but I lose my table stops and a powerfeed auto-stop...

I'm talking about installation of the power feeder.
Sorry... It wasn't too bad once I had a plan. I think the install is chronicled back in this thread.
