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.  Still won't be big enough though.

Very impressive.

i was only going to use half of it, but i've talked my dad round to having one side for machines and the other side bench, assembly area. but still wont be big enough.

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