A clear and clean pallet, as you can see, I followed the advice, and I now have a grey floor, and to reduce the harshness of pure white walls are sandstone, new garage doors arrive soon. The first job will be assembling the saw bench and offer up a router table, and then work around this setup...

OK I won't paint it, but what if I did it with a good floor paint? I am thinking of a previous comment about loosing small items on the floor and the ease to find them

[ I keep coming back to the OSB idea and wonder how many others have done this and have you painted it?

Would love to see a picture of your fathers floor

Thank you Peter, well it looks to me as a very light grey is the colour to go for and add colour to the furnishings is a really good way to go. Thank you to all of you it has been a great help.

I really need a closer look at this so I will be asking for an invite to the factory for a close inspection and while I am there a little test drive would I think to be in order to make sure that the floor colour is really important.

Ya right, Peterm 100 Parfait Pink Dusty colors, like this muted shade of pastel pink, suck the brightness out of a room. Since bright colors elevate your mood, she says lackluster ones like this tend to do the opposite.

OK, I'll take note of that, red sucks! Green is a no no for me, how about sky blue, or perhaps terracotta?

Pink, yes that is to far even for me, I am trying to avoid bland, and as this is my area alone I am wanting to stamp my own choice of colour as the house is a compromise (Well she that must be obeyed choice) and as grey is a trending colour I am reluctant to follow that line, but appreciate your...

Thank you all very much, food for thought for sure and the no speckling is something I had not thought of. I have black rubber ridged matting that I was going to use on the floor where I would be standing and I am still thinking red to contrast the black but using a light red to bring some...

It is often said there is no silly question, so here goes, silly question; As my burnt out garage being rebuilt by the insurance company is coming to and end, fingers crossed, soon, I will be asked what colour would you like the floor to be painted? I am thinking red, not seeing red, just...

You have hit the nail on the head.....well I did think this was a woodworking page....listen to those on the front line, Our NHS nurses putting their lives at risk for us, listen to the scientist, especially those from SAGE that have no axe to grind, look and fully understand the all statistics...

Thank you so much, I can see you have gone to considerable trouble to get me these pictures which I have found very useful. I shall now look and see if I can get my collett a bit higher, but I do have an extensions collet which will probably do the job. Your table cast iron top is exactly the...

Thank you for your reply and I would very much like to see a picture of your set up.

I have a ¼ Makita router that I intended to use on the bench but decided it was too awkward to mount and too small plus the bother of removing it when I need just a router. Hence, I bought a cheap Silverline ½ and removed as much as I could, even the main body's return springs. Charnwood...
