man that sucks, id love to work from home, but it just not viable with what i do, it would never work... far too many industrial processes to making drums. lots of businesses seem to die out due to sudden rent jumps, my business partner at one time had one of the oldest, biggest & most...

we are already kind of doing that here... as music shops are dying out, gone are the days of music shops being in every town, my business partner & the staff here are all exlocal music shop owners (leeds bradford etc )... when their business's died with the high street they set up with me here...

thats my current task im working on the places that have big old mill buildings & industrial parts to see if they have unused space, its actually how i got my current place & the studio i rent, its just a very long winded process. good shout on the chamber of commerce.

yes i mentiuoned earler there are loads of units available in south yorkshire, round barnsley etc... but its not viable for me or the rest of our team to travel there each day

I wish I could, I started in a borrowed garage, but I have no way to reduce my setup and do what I do to a domestic setting, it’s far too industrial now. you are right, industry just isn’t wanted

Have to have a showroom area, my current one is 300sqft before the workshop, but does not have to be a storefront as such, we only meet clients by appointment

Awesome

Ohh mate, whilst I’m glad it’s not just me I’m also very sorry to hear you have the same problem, I have met several guys from Leeds looking at wakefield sites as they can’t get anything, everyone seems say the same… South Yorkshire has loads, West Yorkshire has little as you venture up through...

Yup, almost nothing…. Bradford, Barnsley etc have an abundance of empty industrial space, Wakefield has not.

Wakefield council have almost nothing having sold off most of their property portfolio over the last 20 years, I’m in touch with them… if I could be Barnsley based I’d have no problem getting a workshop & save money on rent.. i see what they have from my searches… South Yorkshire seems to have...

noise isn’t really an issue, I’m based next to a school and houses on 3 sides now, but good transport and ease of access by thing such as tour buses is essential fir my customer base, I’d have to go out in the sticks for a farm, would not work for the business. but in similar thinking, I have...

I’d like think I’m a Minimal hassle woodworking Tennant, I certainly generate a lot less mess and waste than someone making fitted furniture etc…but yes they reel in horror at the word drums… I bend wood that’s it. I explained to one agent, the basic machinery is far noisier than the drums, not...

Hi James, I’m in Wakefield, due to life/family commitments need to stick close to.

I know many on here have their own home workshops which I love seeing and reading about, but I’m a commercial renter, my landlord who is also a joiner has decided to pack in sell up and move, he’s relocating and the old workshop is in a prime spot for town center redevelopment. so I have...

i have the Laguna 18BX upgraded from a RP BS400........ its just an utterly beautiful thing, its main job is resawing wide boards into 1mm & 1.5mm veneers which it does with ease, its just a joy to run, setup, clean down.. makes me want to i swap onto a laguna table saw & drum sander.

18BX its marvelous

Do want, would go with my bandsaw very well

Haha thanks very much, it’s a bit Heath Robinson but it works well...

i think this classes as a shop made tool. more machine i guess just started to put the finishing touched to my new polishing machine.... my tasks being very specific to musical drums means i make most of my kit. An old de-coiling machine, the arm/stand off a spindle molder & a 1941 Flextol...
