A comparison ....

Here is a comparison of saws as I promised...



both of these use 4 inch blades.

Here is the Byrnes mini 4" saw

And My Dremel 4" table saw.

both of these use 2 inch blades.

This is my Preac mini 2" blade size saw.

And one of My other Preac table saw with a bigger table top  also 2" blade.

My Byrnes and Preac side by side quite a difference would you say.

The Dremel and the Preac side by side.

Here is the line up the Dremel saw is a fair small saw its made of plastic the table top and the body of the saw .

The Byrnes Saw has a wider table top is all metal even the base it sets on .

My little Preac saws are all metal except for the base ( which is wood ) 

The Byrnes and Preac saws don't tilt the blade to make 45 deg cuts like the Dremel saw does but I make several Jigs to do the angle work.   The Byrnes saw has a tilt table top which can be purchased separately.

Finally some work on the shop ....

The brackets for the AC in the shop are done !!!! pics at a later time   Its hard to cut that hole in the side of a brand new building  LOL...  but I'd rather be cool for the summers work to come....

Thank you for your time . till next weekend.

Insulation Install

Well I have started on the insulation part of my mini workshop.   I have the wall panels acclimating in the shop for a few days to let them settle down.   they are all twisted from being bound with straps. 

I have found a few of Ya'll ( as we say down south ) on an app called Bloglovin  just another way to keep track with all my mini friends.  and maybe meet a few more.

Well here are a few pictures of my progress....

Here I am making a mess....

And thanks to my lovely  assistant.

 I thank you for looking in on me.... till next update.

TOO MUCH !!! in a small space

 As embarrassed as I am to post these pictures  ( I feel I should be at a miniatures anonymous meeting ... LOL )  But to give a look at what My shop turned into through the years.  Its a shame I know .

( PS :  I'm sorry for the bad pics I really do need to get a better camera.)

I'm not a hoarder ... ( I keep telling Myself that.. haha !! ) mostly ran out of room to store things. 

Every nook and cranny of my little shop screams mini.   

Now you see why I so desperately need a larger work space  .....  I don't normally show my full shop pictures  mostly of my Mess LOL.   But I think this is a fitting way to say goodbye to the chaos and hello to organization.  

Thank you for your time.
