Dirt Room

Not all things framebuilding are glorious.

A good portion of the job requires abrasives and other jobs that make dirt, require a respirator and are just plan gross. This room has bench grinders, wire wheels, buffers, blast cabinet, abrasive chop saw, belt/disc sander and lastly (and possibly the hardest tool to keep in here) the angle grinder. I am giving this room a bit of a face lift because it is too nasty in there and needs more lighting.

This topic recently came up in a forum about framebuilding and it upsets me that people don't make an effort to keep abrasives away from the machines. When I finally removed the belt/disc sander from the machine shop I realized how dirty all this stuff really is.

Cheers,
Drew
