Very nice workshop. I thought you were going to ask about making garage doors and after seeing the pictures I was going to suggest hardboard. LOL. No seriously though it looks great and the doors will look fine too. Nice work. :wink: Still won't be big enough though. :lol:

parking a car in there would be like walking into your living room with muddy boots on. :lol:

So, are you making it all out of wood now or will you still be having a steel frame?

With reference to the recent 'lottery win' thread. Thats pretty much what I would build if I had 56m in the bank.

Enough room for all my hobbies and a car.

ps, what on earth do you do for a living and what does that sort of build cost?

 

[jhwbigley]

Well, here is the wood for the frames.

All cut to length and ready to plane up, thought i'd give the planer a quick wax to help with the machining.

maybe i should sort out some dust extraction..

Then it started snowing...
