A build log of my place, a 6.5 x 5.5 x 2.5m diy home workshop!

busy weekend.

one wall, studden, insulated and lined with 12mm osb,




Back wall, bodged up with some ply. Ran out of insulation, but i intend to insulate, then put another skin of ply on the inside





the shelf at the back is just temporary. The back wall is where my upright 8x4 cnc machine will live (once its built!!) ;)

but atleast the garage is weather tight now, cant wait for it to rain!!

you will have also noticed Ive started moving some of the heavier stuff down from the temporary garage. It would be nice to please the misses by getting that down before next weekend so I made the most of the abundance of muscle that seemed to be hanging round this weekend.

made a start on the workbench. My old workbench was too high, This, I think was the reason it was never used!! I found myself always using make-shift work-tables... so height this time is critical. Ive gone for 88cm, which allows me to stow both tool drawers underneath it, only problem is. I had hoped to store my donkey saw underneath aswell, but its too high. So il have to lower it slightly, shame really as its been through two world wars! but it will also give me the opportunity to put it on wheels.



Also bought gutter for the front (£50!!!!! by the time I bought all the elbows and fittings!! almost fell over!!) Il fit that next weekend ;)

Need to allow my bank account time to settle down, before I line the other two walls

looks great and a nice size too. why not get some old upvc windows of ebay and chop them into the front it will let a hole load more light in and look 100x better from your house and wouldn't cost more than a few ££ ether
