I like your magnetic plane storage system! Got any spares for sale😉

I seem to have started quite a discussion here, I'll admit I'm well out of my depth as well so I'll make a list of all the tools I might use but as I'll be on my own I can't see how I'll ever use more than a 2000w router and a dust extractor or my festool vac. Jet P/T will be on a 16a supply.

He's certainly no dinosaur, mid 30s and heads a team at a modular building company. What I don't understand is that all houses use ring mains, wouldn't a ring use more cable than a radial as it has to return to the cu.

I think no matter how much I plan my space (30m²) it will evolve and things will be moved so that might include the sockets which is why i went with surface mounted. One question, why do people say to go for a radial circuit? My electrician says ring all the way.

Metal clad sockets are already on their way to me from Screwfix

Blimey, I wasn't expecting such a reaction to this so thank you everyone, lots of good points to ponder. I'm torn between vertical and horizontal conduit, they both have their pros and cons. As I regularly fit kitchens I'd decided to place the sockets at around kitchen height so no less than...

I'm at the stage of laying out my sockets and lighting in my workshop, I plan on running 25mm conduit but cant decide whether to run it horizontally from socket to socket or across the top of the wall and drop down to each double socket. What are everyone's thoughts? Spacing I thought...

Finding all four seems to be difficult, I found a no5 with solid frog, stay set and rosewood handles.

Thanks Johnny, that helps except the one with stay set has a normal blade but good rosewood handles

I'm trying to decide on a few vintage Record planes, what are people's opinions on the importance of Stay Set and the Crucible steel blades?

I've noticed some say they are edge lit, is this to be avoided?

I'm lost now, I may just buy a couple and see what I think of the colour before splashing out on 8-10 of them

Is 6500k not really blue? Id thought of using 4000k

I'm planning to fit 600x600mm led light panels to illuminate my workshop, can anyone recommend a suppliers or place to order decent 4000k units from?

Any recommended suppliers for insulated roofing? My local place Thomas Profiles have quoted me but want £280 delivery!

Framing all complete upto the wall plate, I'm still undecided on how to do my pitched roof. If I use insulated roofing sheets can I make 4 trusses spread across my 7.2m to take lighter weight purlins (maybe 6x2) set into my trusses so the underside of my panels sit flush with them?

My replies keep going missing, I wrote a huge post a while back and it's lost. Anyway, there is around a 700mm bench space and the door that side will be the 'mostly shut door'. My big indecision is do I go for insulated profiled sheet or make up a raftered roof and insulate myself? I want a...

Here are my drawings, not yet finalised, any thoughts?

I've spent some time this weekend designing the framework and roof on autocad with my son, I want a storage space in the roof either at one end or a smaller space at either end with centre access. It's left me in a quandary about roofing material, I like the idea of insulated profiled panels...

At that spacing I think I could omit noggins too
