I am pleased to read that a few of my design ideas have found favour amongst members. I must say I am particularly proud of my breadbox Hi-Fi centre. I keep my wood in the garage as there is just not enough room to store it in the shed. The little outside cupboard has room for a selection of...

Thanks for the kind words regarding my humble little workshop. In response to a couple of questions, The exterior of the roof is made of Zinc. This was very expensive costing more than all the timber for the build. Quite extravagant really, given that the zinc will last for 80+ years! Still it...

I am sure you will do very well. Good luck old boy. Not wishing to blow my own trumpet, but it is good advice to get the best local accountant to guide and support you with bookeeping, VAT, tax etc. Cheers, Esc.

What ho shipmates, I thought I would have a go at including a few pictures in a post for the first time. This is a picture of my workshop which I built about two years ago. My plan was to create a sort of sheperds hut / railway carriage. I am very happy with how it turned out but wish I...

Excellent work there Bob. Well done.

Hello Mike, I got my nails from a firm called "chippy's mate" based in Norwich. Very good prices and service with quick delivery. Esc.

Hello Mike, I have had my eye on this beauty. http://www.hegner.co.uk/system/index.html I like the look of this one to. http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com/review ... sander.htm I just don't have any room in my shed for either at the moment. :cry: Hope this helps. Esc.[/url]

What ho all, If anyone wants to have my scheppach planner base they are welcome! :( It is in my garage. I thought about turning it into a garden coffee table. :lol: I was so fed up with it and the problems mentioned are all very familiar. I have made my own base. With a shelf underneath and...

Pleased your getting on well Shultzy, pity about the weather holding progress up. I notice that your workshop doesn't cover the full slabbed area. It would therefore seem that you could make your new workshop even bigger. You can never have enough room, and now is the time to decide? Think of...

George, I purchased a pallet of the character grade oak offcuts and I am very pleased with my buy. £250 + vat and £70 + vat for the delivery. I don't have any experience of buying hardwood but thought that it represented good value. The timber is all about 4 ft long and in various dimensions...

All good fun. :) Hope all goes well with the new workshop. Cheers, Esc.

Thanks for the wise words mates, Nib I would need scaffolding to climb on that pile. Honest. :wink: I plan to sort it into various piles and stick it with various offcuts. It is a feast of wood. I can't imagine all the hours that will go into shaping and fashioning it into items of delight...

Are those Mrs Shultzys undergarments hanging on that line? :shock:

Hello there shipmates, I have recently taken delivery of a large quantity of oak, you may have seen such advertised on the ebay, sold by Henry Venables. I am very pleased with my buy and it should last a long time. With regard to storage I plan to keep it in my garage, a dry, unventilated...

I was once called a wood butcher :oops: - I wonder where that fits in to the great scheme of things? Esc.

What ho Harbo, I am not an expert, but following sound advice from the forum I recently purchased the LN chisels. (set of 5) and they are simply superb. They are so comfortable in the hand, the weighting is lovely and asthetically they look very smart. I went for the cocobolo handles but got a...

Thanks Waka for a very formative review. Festool are a top company and without doubt their machines are very well made. They are designed so thoughtfully and I suppose that is why they command top dollar. Each of us will have our own opinion as to whether they are worth the money or not. Oh...

32 for me. someone once said if I went any faster I would go backwards :lol:

very nice mate, very very nice. :)

Nick, Sounds like a great party your organising. I hope to make an appearance as well. Cheers, Esc.
