ChrisK Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 So some of you guys that have been around for a while have seen pics of my dark dank basement woodshop. The weekend before last my father in law, Larry, and I moved out laundry machine, dryer and freezer from the largest open are of our base,met to my woodshop. I did a 4' PT drop board every four feet to anchor the new PVC line that is longing the wall from the far gable end where the appliances once were to the other gable end. This is allowing me a much larger are to play in. Today I got some OSB, some more concrete anchors and some PT studs 4' long and added the first four panels. I would take pics but....all of my lighting is on the other end of the basement. He fully this weekend I can drop a bone and a half on three new style LED shop lights and get them installed.this is a big deal for me as I was never afforded the opportunity to do this before. My wife is liking the new walls and pretty soon my MFT will be up, my Kapex station will be underway and my New DW745 will have a bench to hold it. It's still a dark post war basement but....those panels made it seem a whole lot brighter (of course I painted the ). Super stoked! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 No I can't figure it out other than to say the site only allows small file sizes of 4.41kb. For some reason I used to be able to upload pics all the time and in the last few months no more. I have been doing links to photobuclet (one of the members suggested).

chadlanthier Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 File compressing software or apps is the only luck I have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I've been trying the apps too but for some reason......meh. I'm not sure what the problem is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 are you guys viewing the site in a mobile version or full site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I use my ad to post in both full site mode and mobile and it only allows a 4.41kb download. I can't get my pics any smaller on the suggested web sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I use a photo resizing app and it has worked so far. With this one you can make the photo to whatever file size I want. I have used it for all of the engine pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nicholas, what app are you using cause I tried batch resizer and it doesn't work for me. It'll shrink the photo down but it doesn't affect the file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Got to work downstairs for a few hours though you would never know it. I built a scrap wood Clamp rack. Step 2. Got some clamps up, have to build another but this will get stuff off the ground. Really simple, ripped a piece of 3/4" plywood with my TS, cut several 7" slots in it. Glued and screwed (Kreg) a support rack, did a quick jig on the Kapex cut a bunch of vertical supports, Kregged it up, through some deck screws in and viola. It still looks like a freakin' Tijuana Abortion Clinic on a Monday morning after Fiesta down there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I hope it comes out okay Mike. Still a dark dank basement and I can only frame in part of the concrete foundation for access reasons but believe me, it's going to be just great for me! I've wanted to do this for years and just being able to move over is awesome. I cleared up some of my pics and will try to attach a photo of the mess that is my little shop!<a href="http://s44.photobucket.com/user/chriskelby/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps6c4131df.jpg.html"target 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Samantha bought me two Dewalt XL clamps for a "stocking" stuffer. They are awesome clamps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 You should look in to some T-5 HO florescent lights I have a little 4ft one in my laundry room and its pretty amazing. If you get the right lighting down there it will help with the dark feeling of the room. Looks good so far Chris!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
