HS262 Haxby Shed new workshop - Fitting out Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ม.ค. 2025
- I need more space, so in this short series I’m converting an old stable room into an additional workshop. In Part 1 I’m extending the airline from the compressor to the room in 25mm black MDPE pipe. In Part 2 I’m finishing the airline extension, cleaning up, painting walls, installing lights and power sockets and painting the floor so the machines can go in.
Hi Paul. That was a surprisingly calming episode. Felt like I was with you, chatting away. Your workshop annex is coming along rather nicely. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
Hi Andrew, the problem is now I talk to myself all the time both on and off camera. I have to be very careful to control what comes into my head because there is a very short pathway to my mouth !! Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Being able to confidently talk to yourself is a prerequisite to being an excellent TH-cam presenter. You do it with aplomb. 😀👍
I love the ''Mr Ed '' doors ! Cheers 👍
Hiya Max, I Googled Mr Ed the talking horse, once again you have expanded my knowledge. 😁🤣
As a suggestion next time you paint brick you should try using a high volume low pressure spray gun, it really works well.
It's locked in my mind now. I should have done more research. Cheers

I hired a commercial sprayer to paint the inside walls of my 1850s brick barn, using some fancy special paint. That was 13 years ago and it's still OK. I had a new concrete insulated floor and internal blockwork walls done by my local builder. I got him to paint the floor with proper red floor paint, it's been very much worthwhile. I'm near Howden, East Yorkshire. I have to run a dehumidifier 24/7 to keep condensation at bay, but with big cast iron machines and a two-ton CNC mill and lots of tooling, plus TIG/MIG , plasma cutters and big inverters, it's vital to keep things dry. I have a little parts washer, mainly for cleaning off the fully-synthetic soluble coolant from the CNC, and cutting oil from the Colchester and Bridgeport. My barn still has some of the internal fittings from when it was a stable for the working horses and a few cows, although it was used as a joinery shop from the 1950s onwards.
Wow Neil, 48.1k subscribers and Patreon. I'd better have a look at some of your vids. Howden is about 27 miles from here. I read about the microphone in the Great Seal in Spycatcher when the book first came out - before it was available in the UK. I can suffer a lot of flash rusting in my machine shop if it has been cold and then a damp warm front comes in. I spray everything with WD40 when that's likely. There is not much left here from the farm workings now but my neighbour (now passed on) knew the history because it had been in his family since about 1865. I know the names of occupants of this plot back to about 1799. Cheers Paul
@@HaxbyShed I haven't had time to make any videos for three or four months because of learning to use the new SYIL X5 and all the fusion 360 manufacturing processes for CAM. I have about 20 videos in the late planning stage, but I was thrown a curveball by BBC Two TV who want me to create a working replica of a 1926 Russian CCTV system created by Leon Theremin, so that's eating all of my time. I'm still working 18 hours a week at the day job, but one day I might get to retire!
@@HaxbyShed You ought indeed Paul, some interesting projects on the Machining and Microwaves channel!
Would suggest s low pressure high volume paint spray gun. Rent it for a day or two, or buy one. Works wonders on that brickwork, and you can use it as well to spray the outer side bare brick with brickseal as well, and get a quick coat easy on, and no worries about rough walls.
Hi Sean, yes I just look at one of those on the web. About £200 to buy but it would have saved me a great deal of time. Next time maybe .... Cheers
And as always, it's a lot more work as we thought it would be.
Quite right Michel. I'm looking forward to the day when a job does not expand beyond my estimate. It's a good job I do not have to quote a price for work. Cheers
Congratulations to you and the Mrs. on 43 years 🎉🎉🎉
Yes 43 years, and met 3 years before that. She was a 'keeper'. We married young. Had kids young. It was pretty much the norm for people around here starting work at 16. Houses were a lot cheaper then, in real terms. Salary multiple maybe 3. Different today. Cheers
nice one Paul, 👍👍👍👍👍👍
all that space to fill😉😉

Hi Kev, I could sub-let part of it ..... 😁
Hi Paul, Nice update, looks great and it will fill up in no time.
I bought a commercial style airless paint sprayer about 15 years ago; as much as I hate painting, it was worth every penny. It takes some time to mask everything off, but what a game changer.
Good call on the power outlets, you can never have too many.
How cool to have an event at the railway museum 👍
Cheers.....
Hi Dean, I'll look out for a sprayer, thanks for the tip. Cheers
Those walls looks brilliant, Paul & Son. Great job. I find it quite therapeutic painting rough brickwork. Those posh pigs must have moved on upwards. They're living in their penthouse suites in the sty scrapers. Hope you got the beers in afterwards.....Cheers Tony
Eyup Tony mate, I rather think they were somebody's dinner a long time ago. Still, I'm sure they enjoyed their time here in the pig palace. Cheers
A painted wall so good, it was rewarded with a flyby .
The uniquely British Ring Main for electrical socket outlets, great idea to save cable, but notorious for maintaining integrity.
Masonry paint is vastly superior for rough brick walls in my opinion, I've used this for my garage.
A small note on brexit, we send gifts to family in the Republic of Ireland, last Christmas we tried to send several gifts, all allowable, all with correct tarrif codes, but 6 out of 7 returned with little or no reason. Possibly because Eire, a European Country, have suffered from increased costs due to nearly all goods going through the UK.
So now all gifts are from Amazon.
Impressive looking shop Paul.
Hi John, must be something about Ireland because EU-based TH-camrs get paid from Google Ireland and now we need to complete a form to apply for a tax treaty exemption from Irish tax. It's not a BREXIT thing, TH-camrs all over Europe have to do the same and they are all moaning of course. Completing the US tax forms was simple by comparison (yes we have to do that too because Google is a US company). This is regardless whether you get £1 or £1M (mine is nearer the former). The Spitfire is local and buzzes around on nice days. I've leapt outside a 100 times trying to get a good pic but never do. Cheers
Happy anniversary my friend. Hope it’s an electrifying day for the both of you.
You are more than welcome to express your opinions about whatever you want to in my opinion.
However on the air piping, I know it’s probably too late and you won’t want to hear this but if you look at the 15:08 mark, you should go back about half way past the window, leave everything as is, but install a tee pointed up, and run a second line 6-8” above the existing line and follow it down to about 4-5 inches to where the existing line stops, and use that as your tie in for your air. That will allow all the moisture and condensation to flow below the airflow and down to the valve you have installed.
I would still install a dryer/filter at the end. But doing this will guarantee you will never have moisture issues at the outlet of your air lines. Especially if you are going to use the air for and machinery or a sand blaster.
Hope you are doing well, and have a wonderful day sir. I enjoyed our chat while remodeling ! Cheers !🍻
Hi Jason, about the airline yes I understand. I've just got the bits to connect the other end to the compressor so I will be doing some practical tests soon. I like to touch briefly on wider subjects (beyond the workshop) but the fact is most subscribers come for the workshop topic and straying far from that usually results in un-subscriptions. Also I think TH-camrs can make the mistake of thinking people actually want to hear their opinions on topics other than the channel topic, unless it is obviously an opinion channel. My last video on the NHS lost me 2 subs. Getting more subs has never been my main interest but it is discouraging when they leave. Cheers
Paul, your sense of humor always leaves me in stitches!! And wow - what a lot of work you and your son did, but the results look terrific. I repainted my shop when we first moved in. Beautiful bright reds and blue-grays. And then I started using it… well, so much for the pristine look but it still looks great. I’m certain you’ll be pleased with the Haxby Shed Annexe for years to come. I’m looking forward to seeing all the machinery you end up putting in there. Because we all know - more room begs for more machinery. Another great video as always. Cheers!!
Hi Russell my sister-in-law says I'm very funny but I don't do it on purpose I'm just being me. My wife used to think I was funny, but we have been together a long time ..... 🤣
First off kudos for the IET volunteering. Love the NRM, been there so many times. Mallard is the fastest steam locomotive in the world, full stop! Great video Paul, really enjoyed it. I used exterior masonry paint in my old workshop, which was essentially a breeze block shed, albeit dry. It worked a treat. Full marks for painting the floor, it will help control dust, keep the place clean and reflects some light too. Good to have help from the lads to get stuff in there. I know people say about moving your welder in there, but I would not personally. I've got first hand experience of what dust does to their innards! I don't think the air line condensation is going to trouble you much. Look forward to the next film.
Hi Carl, I volunteer for the IET for social reasons as much as any greater good. We have a nice volunteer group in our IET Local Network. Most work but then we have students and a couple of retired people. I think the next workshop video will be back to the Herbert surface grinder, trying to get that finished. Cheers
New shop space !! Nice work !!
Hi Alan, I was reluctant to put in that much work to be honest but I will be glad of it I'm sure. Cheers
Hi Paul, First class result, looks great especially the floor, you won't regret doing it I'm sure.
I like the idea of having a parts washer, I think that would be very useful addition, I'm sure you'll fill all that space (and run out of sockets!!).
I'm sure over time practical solutions will be found for most things that have changed as a result of leaving the EU. I was too young to vote on staying in back in 70s nor could I vote back in 2016 as voting rights had been taken away from expats after 15 years.
At least in the UK you have access to your politicians. For example, we had been having problems getting a LPA issued for my mum, in the end we decided to write to our MPs, my sisters, mum and I all live in different constituencies. Despite the general election, the offices of Suela Braverman and Penny Mourdant took on her case and Pennies intervention quickly resolved the situation. I really have no idea who represents me in the Spanish parliament (well, my wife I mean, I can't vote here) or how to get in touch with them. As for the EU, I wouldn't know where to start and that's not a good situation. The ability to get something done through our local MPs has restored some of my faith.
If you get the chance well worth visiting the HoP, we did so last summer - It is steeped in history, I don't see Brussels evolving in the same way .... or is it Strasbourg😅😅
What a wonderful place to try and entice youngsters into engineering, I hope you were successful!!
Have a great weekend!!
Hi David, many years ago I was on some course in London staying over so I took the opportunity to go into the Houses of Parliament strangers gallery to watch a debate. We'd no idea what was on - just took pot luck. There was maybe 20 MPs in the chamber discussing some bill on 'monofilament salmon fishing nets'. Some junior minister was presenting and most on the benches were asleep or reading other stuff. These days I suppose they would be playing with their phones. I was surprised the chamber was a lot smaller than I imagined but it did have quite an impact on me. Yes I agree we may think the UK is a bit shambolic but we are lucky to live here with all our freedoms, tolerance, rights, access, and generally civilised behaviour overall (at least where we live anyway). Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Now that you mention it I went perhaps 1980, I seem to recall seeing Michael Foot but not recognising anyone else and like you there was only a few there. If you think the commons is small the lord's is smaller both are more like museums.
The visit is excellent especially if you go when neither house is sitting you get to walk right through them whilst you listen to audio guide (guided tours can be done too). In one of the lobbies are four bronze statues celebrating key politicians, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, Clement Attlee and Margaret Thatcher. The one of Maggie frightened me to death!!
Don't think there is any perfect system anywhere , I think it depends a lot on what is seen to be acceptable in any society!!
The new shed is coming along really nicely , and isn’t it tremendous to have help with the heavy items. Let me commend you on your volunteer work introducing kids into the world of science and engineering. Take care and good luck with the paint work. 👍👍
Hi Paul, yes I can call on help for the heavy stuff but I have to book it in advance. I really enjoy the social side of volunteering and it feels very worthwhile. I know we can be negative towards the behaviour of young people sometimes but I have to say in recent years the behaviour and politeness of the students has been great. The great majority are polite, respectful and say 'thank you'. And sometimes I'm really surprised how much they know, it gives me the feeling that the many initiatives to raise the standard of teaching are paying off. There is a teacher training centre in here in York called the National Centre for STEM Learning and they run both day and residential courses for both STEM and non-STEM teachers. And then there is the STEM Ambassadors programme where engineers and scientists volunteer to go into schools . There has been a lot of Government investment in STEM education over quite some years now. Cheers
A man and his wall. A new series. 😊 😂
Painting leads to talking and talking leads to trouble if I'm not careful. It's easy for TH-camrs to forget that viewers are there for the practical content and not to hear unsolicited opinions about the meaning of life and everything. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed we come to spend time with our friends
very good job paul
Thank you again 👍
An airless paint sprayer is in your future I feel!
I think for next time, definitely. 👍
Well that certainly was a lot of work - but the end result is really worth it. It’s an excellent, bright and clean workspace. Now to fill it! What could be in the future? A 32” swing lathe? A horizontal jig borer? A vertical turning lathe? Possibilities abound!
Well Stuart a horizontal boring machine or a big Dean Smith and Grace lathe would be great but it won't be happening. I've a list of silly things I'd like to have (just to have) before those which would include a mini digger and a Japanese Kei truck. I've always wanted both but they make totally no sense in my situation. Cheers
Ha haaaaa haa, "If gravity works as it should."
Nice job Paul, With havng your sand blaster in there, I'd be tempted to make it a "dirty room" and possibly move all of the grinding and welding equipment in there, if you have space. Then the main workshop can be a "clean room."
Well yes maybe Bill. But as it is I'm already running between two rooms and I don't want to be running between three. So convenience is also a consideration. Cheers.
@HaxbyShed Ah, a nice problem to have Paul.
the new annex needs a workbench with a vice. Great setup though. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Well yes Mark but I do have a big strong bench in the other workshop made of wood. Maybe I need a big strong metal bench though? 😁
Nice entertaining presentation. Well worth the effort to do the conversion. We tested PVA with polyester resin over to seal roof tile benching and it bonds extremely well. Our original sand blaster setup used glass beads, and clogged all the time even though it was fed by two coalescing / carbon filters. Did you consider mounting the power sockets on boards? - provides a flat clean surface and the board can be packed out behind the board mounting fixings. Good to see the space being filled with machines already 😊
Hiya Geoff, when I got the blaster I invested in Aluminium Oxide sand. Expensive but lasts a lot longer and does not degrade to dust. I could have mounted the sockets on wooden pattresses but in the end I only had to chop the wall for a couple and finding the pattresses is often more difficult and expensive than it seems - unless I made some myself. I may have to do that for some spotlights I need to put up. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed yes, Al.O is better for steel but our tubing was 3/4in .035in, 4130 so we needed glass beads, and they really clogged up the airlines. There are often ebay deals on electricals but you need to buy lots. I chased out 3 double sockets in one room then we ended up buying a unit which covered them up - ah well. I take much more care over new walls than the original builder. Every time l fix something l discover another pile of discarded rubble. Distribution boards are better on boards as you often need to change or add more items. Schneider enclosures seal well and keep out the Feldspar dust.
BTW l couldn’t find where we purchased pattress’ from but l think they were only a couple of quid each. We can donate some if you ever need more. It’s not worth fabricating them.
The new shed looks really good. I like the way you are thinking of stocking it. RG in Kentucky.
Hi RG, I'll keep my eye out for 'barn finds'. We don't have the estate selling up 'yard sales' like you have so ebay tends to be our route or the Autojumble/tools flea market but even these are not very common (I'm lucky we have a regular one nearby). Cheers
Looks fantastic Paul, I try to keep a clean end and a dirty end in my shop, but separate buildings is ideal! A lot of work, but an excellent result!
Phil
Hiya Phil it does mean a lot of running about between rooms. Whatever I want is always in the other one! Cheers
Nice use for the turbo trainer!
Well yes I saw that in the charity shop for £15 and I just knew it would come in handy. I've used it as a support on my welding positioner, holding the end of a long bar as it rotated for the weld, and now a cable 'horse'. I expect I will use it to support a bar in the Rapidor saw at some point. It's just universally useful, and if I ever run out of ideas I could always put a bike on it 😁 Cheers
Hi Paul, re stains... ive always found zinsser BIN (red colour can) a fabulous stain blocker...
Hi Mark, I'd not heard of Zinsser until last week and now the name has come up again. It's like busses 🤣
@@HaxbyShed i nearly didn't mention it because I felt sure you'd have heard of it!! it's fabulous stuff, pricey but if you have stains to cover it works like a dream
Loved this. Thanks.
Thanks Rob, a clear case of closing the door after the horse has bolted. Cheers
Glad you still use inches
Hi Keith, oh yes I do. But actually I tend to use inches for longer lengths and mm for shorter lengths to keep in whole numbers. When machining I switch back and forth all the time. I love the magic of fractions and, in my opinion, an imperial micrometer is far easier to read than metric. Cheers
Very nice addition to the Shed.
Thank you Jay. 👍
Looking good sir. I need to try and do something about space myself.
Hi Rusty, necessity is the mother of invention. 😁
Did you consider running the power in singles Paul? Much easier in my experience to draw that through conduit than T+E.
Hi Richard, I did not think about it too much because I'd got to run the cable through the garage and did not want to put up all the conduit - easier just to clip T&E. Also I did a quick check on price and it does not look any cheaper - possibly more with the conduit as well. Cheers
If you have a bench grinder or similar in your main workshop, you could move them into this annex to avoid the grit possibly damaging your machine tools.
Hiya Bob, I have a couple of bench grinders in another room (not the machine shop) but I could bring them together in the new 'Annexe'. Let's see how it goes. Cheers
looks great
Thank you 👍
That was a LOT of work. I think worth the effort.
I do not like painting. The end result looks good. Fingers crossed this paint sticks to the brickwork.
I do not have room for a sand blaster, but wish I did.
I have a cheap Harbor Freight 20Ton hydraulic press, but I prefer the design of your press, horizontal cylinder and a pressure gauge.
Dave.
Hi Dave, yes painting is tedious I agree. It's 50/50 whether the paint stays on, being over what is probably lime wash in places and brick salt in others. I hope the PVA sealer did its job. That press came from a back street garage in Manchester (UK), about 90 miles from here. Can't remember what we paid but it was not expensive. Needed a new main ram seal and a good clean but otherwise it's been great. It claims to be 20T but I have not got it above 14T. Probably the pump needs servicing but Sealey don't offer the seal kit separately (I could not find one listed anyway). Cheers
Thx for the vid.
👍 Cheers
Loveley job well done !!! Great video, Thank you
Thank you Michael. 👍
Six double sockets excessive? I think not! I went for a double socket every metre around the entire periphery of my workshop. Most are permanently occupied!
For me it's much more a matter of convenience than capacity I think. But maybe if I do get the parts washer, belt sander, oven, a couple of LED chargers and a radio - well that's beginning to fill them up. Ah - did I put in enough ??? 😧 Cheers
Just wondering why you didn’t spray that wall
Hi Terry, just inexperience really and being over optimistic how long it would take to brush it. Now I'm aware of airless sprayers that would be my choice next time. Cheers
Hi Paul,
One concern for the plastic pipe is the pressure rating is at 20C, and at 40C which is more than possible from the compressor to the inlet the pressure rating could easily be less than 50% the cold rating, leaving no margin between operating pressure and the design pressure.
Have you considered this?
Cheers Paul
Hi Paul, good point I did not think of that. In the main workshop all the lines are in copper so it's only the extension for the sandblaster in the 'annexe' in mdpe and I don't use the blaster much actually. The mdpe will connect to the compressor line through a 600mm long flexible tail. Cheers
I love a nice painted shop. I can't stand shops (especially professionals) with insulation and other unfinished walls.
Hi there, I freely admit I tend to go for function more than form, but I don't mind putting in the effort at the start. Cheers
I think you need to get a paint sprayer if you are planning to paint very uneven surfaces like that brickwork.
I just wondered, What particular benefit would you miss if Brexit was reversed?
Hi John. I'm going to dodge that question 😁. I'm sure everyone has their own list of benefits and dis-benefits for both sides. I have to conclude that the majority of people decided that freedom of choice was worth more than any dis-benefit of leaving the EU. Did everyone know all the facts? - well no because they were not known at the time. But still we can only look forward from here and make it work to our best advantage. We have a new Govt now with the stated aim of reducing trade frictions. Can they succeed on acceptable terms? - nobody knows yet. We wait to see. Cheers
Hey there haxby shed do you got any pens you can send me or no just was wondering
Sorry, not at the moment Mason. 😎
Does your granddaughter still read your comments ! I have been watching Worksop Friend channel a pom of your age group. Not one groan , wringer, moaning, bitching . The cost, not cheap enough, new to expensive, brought them second hand to pricey , I share the cost with my son when will this stop . All your machines and tools are of a good quality , so you must have some thing in the bank. Ten pound poms used to get eaten alive with this rhetoric some had metal brake downs some when home . Would love hear your granddaughters response
Kit from down under
Hiya Kit, I know Workshop Friend and he runs a great channel. I do have a couple of burdens to carry firstly being a Brit and secondly a Yorkshireman. I'm not saying we are mean but the first question amongst many of my countrymen would be "what did it cost?". I like to share a bit more than just what's in the workshop - I like to see what it's like where people live and their circumstances. If people think this is over done then sure yes I can tone it down. I could of course do the other Brit thing and mostly moan about the weather. I appreciate your honest comment - thank you. Cheers Paul
