I have considered this a number of times, I believe this site is actually the same building that the men's shed is (or was as I believe it's now a different but similar organisation) and it's even next to my scuba lock-up that I have to visit frequently. I think they rotate use between them...

I thought so as well. I'm a scuba diver, so very familiar with high cost but worthwhile, good value training ;) Might look into it when the school summer holdiays kick in so I have time and want something to do. Still, whilst it's something interesting, it's not exactly what I'm after, re...

I went to the wood turning event. Lots of very pretty things but not much in the way of beginner friendly access. Watched some cool demos and was very surprised by just how quiet the lathes were compared to the beasts I used to use! XD Best I could find was a business card for 2 hour turning...

I'll be going over to Daventry tomorrow ;) If you're going you'll probably spot me fairly easily as I'll have my 11yo daughter with me. I'm assuming it'll be mostly older guys otherwise :) The men's shed thing seemed great apart from the days that they run. I'm sure it is a bit cliquey but...

I'll definitely have a look at that when I get home! Wood turning is another thing I've always wanted to try and out and get into, plus, where there's wood there's bound to be more conventional woodworkers too! Thanks for the tip :)

Hi everyone! Ive been lurking in one form or another for some time! I really want to get into woodwork but don't have the space for a shop for a few more years. I looked into Mens Shed charity locations but the local one was only available on days I work. Can anyone suggest alternatives...

Ha! Forging is for outdoors only for me. I've forged a few times indoors and it is unbearably dry and hot work. Doing it outside can get a bit iffy if it starts raining but at least I get cool, fresh air by stepping away ;) I've mostly made kitchen knives and fireplace tools. Thanks for the...

Good morning and thanks for the responses! I did look through the smaller axminster saws but their fences look a little flimsy (and reviews that I saw concurred). I will be looking at the https://www.toolstation.com/scheppach-t ... saw/p12890 Scheppach when I get back from holiday. It seems to...

Apologies, to add to the issue with the Rage is that even if it's able to collapse down it looks like it still takes up a fair chunk of space, at which point I may as well have something else?

Good evening! TLDR at the bottom to skip the waffle. I'm new to the forums and wanted to say hi after lurking and reading posts over the last few months of planning. I've been toying between having a garden workshop built but realised I could just use my spare room. It's a little smaller...
