So I’m looking to build a new workshop in the garden. I recently helped a friend erect a pre-cut log cabin, it was very quick easy. However my budget is a lot smaller than his and to get the volume of space I hope for, pre-built or pre-fabricated is not going to happen ££££ (wrinkled tin cans of eBay, need not apply for this position).
To that end, we have a merchant of used scaffolding in the next town over, peddling 13 foot scaffold boards just under £12 each. The thought was use a router to, tongue and grove the scaffold boards and affix to some 2x3 inch reclaimed roof timber I already have, put some sheets of OSB on top and call it a workshop .
Problems so far;
1, I can’t find a YouTuber that’s done a step by step idiot proof guide.
2, I can’t find a router v-grove join bit set for 38mm timber.
3, My Wife thinks I’m nuts (this is not unusual).
The timber will be checked with a cheap metal detector for nails etc. (Not tried or tested method ).
Cheers, thanks for any participation…
