Milking parlour to workshop conversion

[Hammerrash]

Here are a few pictures of a project started by two stupid... I mean keen amateurs.
Unfortunately I only have one "before" snap which only touches on the bleakness of the first few weeks work.
I hope this link works!

nice workshop and I bet very satisfying to have done so much.
Makes me feel guilty.

What a nice bright space! How big is it? It's hard to tell from the photos. Did you jackhammer out the entire concrete floor? Sure wish i would of done that before i moved into mine. The new floor looks nice and smooth. mmmmm Not like my mountain scape of a floor.

Looks like a great shop, nice job! I love the old walls and windows, gives the place a bit of old charm. Even though it aint a milking parlour anymore I see the stool didnt get chucked! :lol:

The milking stool is probably the best bit of kit in the whole place! Thanks for the comments. I'll try and get the latest project pics uploaded this week.

This is the finished bookcase.

Here's a piece of the vat oak used to make the rails, stiles & ends of the shelves.
This is the joint left from a piece around 5m long. These planks have been sticked for around 20 years prior to them being part of a cider vat.
I still have the smell of vinegar in my nostrils from thicknessing the stuff.
