New Table For The 3D Printer

17/9/2012

My Home Affairs Minister has been bugging me to clear the Portabee and filament spools off the dining table. I was dragging my feet as I simply do not have room in the shop to have it in a useable manner. Though I've kind of gave up on it, I'm still holding on to the believe that I can one day modify it to work as it should.

At the Hokkien service yesterday, she made me fill up a form to register our interest to open up our home for Care Group meeting. I'm very much for the idea to make my home into a place of worship.

This afternoon, after getting home from Church, I started clearing stuff that I thought I wanted to dismantle for parts (yes, it's beginning to look like a junkyard). A little space measuring about 750mm in length was reclaimed, right next to the table where the Sherline lathe sits. A search on Ikea website uncovered this little kitchen trolley (2 legs on wheels) that is just about the right size. After dropping off the kids, we made a trip to Ikea Tampines to pick it up.

The table cost me SGD99. It is rather heavy, being made of solid Birch.

After about an hour of assembly, I've the table ready and wheeled into the shop.

I'm now not able to close the door all the way as the ladder is now right behind it.

At least the stiff on the dining table and the side table next to the main door of my flat are clear out if sight.

I wish the time spent was used instead on tramming the mill but to stay out of trouble, what I did is necessary.

Wouldn't have time for shop work next weekend as I'll be attending the company's annual offsite.

One other thing: Mike, if you're reading this, I thing the table is big enough for the Replicator! No place to use the notebook with it though. Hopefully he SD card function works as it should.

Till the next time, be blessed!

Hi JY,

Thanks for your kind comment.

You can do it too. If there's will, there are ways... I started with only a corner of the then study but took steps, like in the board game Risk, to expand my territory. Unfortunately, I've a 4 door wardrobe at one of the walls, else it would truly be fully conquered.

Regards,
Wong
