Hi, I'm Mike, a long time woodworker who started in my Dad's garage, got his own 6x8 shed, and just this year I've had a 12x8 workshop built, which I've insulated and boarded and am now setting up, complete with long work bench, french cleat wall, and Charnwood lathe, which I bought second hand this summer.
I do a lot of garden projects like raised beds (Gardening is my main passion!), and last year built a small potting shed from scratch. It's nice to have somewhere warm to go out of season to keep myself occupied/entertained! I intend to build my skills up as at the moment my work is fairly rough, and would like to eventually sell my work at craft fairs/on etsy or something, not that I'm reliant on that. Now looking to get a small bandsaw (just posted on that), and to get all my tools on the wall and the rest of the workshop tidy, as it's a bit of a mess, need to get some shelving up.
Though this is my first day posting, I've found these forums invaluable in the past few months, your posts have really helped me on workbench design, insulation etc. Thanks!
