This is a very good point, adding emergency lighting would not be a bad shout.

I'd add that I would run multiple radials, interleaving the sockets so that adjacent sockets are on different circuits. I'd also run trucking at ceiling level with conduit down and singles inside, or possibly a high-level cable tray with Tuff Sheath drops to the sockets. I'd include a dedicated...

Hello, I know the subject has been covered many times but a lot of the time they are specific questions or related to new wooden workshop builds. I have four buildings to do up: (In order, I'll start with the smallest and work up to the largest and most important) - An outdoor office building...

I also quite like 5000k, but 4000k - 5500k is personally my allowable range. In my previous garage (~25sqm) I had about 5400lm of LED lights which was okay but I think I'll be going with approximately double that density for my workshop. I think the main thing is to go for many smaller lights...

I'm surprised you've had such a different experience with them. Their circular saw certainly isn't anything special (Not terrible, nothing special, probably overpriced to be fair.), but for me the mitre saw on their standard universal blade has been accurate for me. Especially with the measurer...

I know that you've mentioned about wanting cordless due to needing an extension lead, but I'd like to throw another mitre saw into the mix - The Evolution sliding mitre saws. The accuracy is "fine" (Nothing special) and the depth stop is beyond useless, but they have some advantages which I...

Thank you, I'll have a good look at the Mafell offering - I hadn't considered it to be honest. I'll also keep a look out for the discounts. I may just look at repairing the table I have by strengthening the joints with dominoes and replacing the surface, then look at building something new when...

Oh you're a bad influence, I've been putting of buying one for a while now. I can't quite decide between the cordless Makita SP001G (All of my cordless equipment is Makita) and the new (corded) Festool TS 60. Most cutting will be with a vacuum so the power cable wouldn't be much of an issue, but...

Which aspect are you suggesting in particular? Making multiple smaller mobile workbenches which can be joined together, primarily using sheet goods for the entire build, or are you referring to the MFT-style 20mm dog holes and/or matchfit slots? There are so many great designs that I've seen...

Hello, We've just moved into a property which includes a 6x12m workshop. (Actually more of a long shed, it has a good metal roof but it needs new windows / doors, damp proofing, insulation, lighting and general moisture control) The previous owners had left behind a 10x6ft workbench is is a...
