oi nosey :)

[tusses]

well if you are as nosey as me - always tring to see whats in the background of peep's pics ! ...

a quick look inside my workspace.

now ... I am just setting up and trying different layouts so it is a complete mess !!

I think I will settle in this layout. (and tidy up )

As you walk in the door (south wall) I have my Table Saw and (soon to be) router table that is used as a side extension to the TS.



looking past these you can see my little band saw - under neath my scroll saw. next to that my bench grinder



turn the bench grinder stand round on its castors and my drill press and morticer



to the left of these I have bench space (well - no space ! ) with storage below and above. My finishing tins are above - alsorts below.



to the right there is similar - bench - storage above an below



in the above you can see (if you look hard enough) my work bench (buried) with storage under. My thicknesser is on top - my Lathe is on the east wall along with my jointer.



to the right of the jointer I have a home made log stove. some more storage , and my 'norm' station TV Video DVD Freeview and Radio/mp3 etc etc



looking west from the east side you can see my wood stoorage and just about see my new band saw



and behind the TS some saw horses with more timber stacked on them



any views are welcome - any tips on making more of the space even more welcom

its 16'x20' as the max for easy planning / building regs (ie - none needed ! )

I dont feel so bad about my workshop any more .................


You can always view yours as "modern art - work in progress ...."

What do the neighbours and local council have to say about the cars?

one nieghbour had a bit of a moan once when I was trying to get the Trans Am goung after a long period of not starting her up. It is a bit noisey that one !

As for the council .. I phoned and asked them, and they said more or less I can do what I want with my back garden they cant make me keep it tidy. Whats more, they said if the neighbors complain, I can put a 7ft fence up and then they wont be able to see ! LOL

so , touch wood .... ok so far

That's got to be a first, tusses, someone who has more mess outside his workshop than inside it ;D

Love the Dinos

Cheers
