Steve, I thought that dado stacks were a big no-no, in this country at least?

Well done.

I thought you liked the workshop

I follow this thread with interest, and it's fantastic to know you're re-energised by this trip!

Outstanding. I want one.....

Here's a good project :) http://woodgears.ca/pantorouter/

Well, I have done it. Easier than I thought!

We moved in 18 months ago, since then there are four double plugs and two strip lights replacing the single bulb and one socket! The bench is along the back wall, I don't really want to move that. THanks for all suggestions, I'll get hold of some plywood sheets and have a go.

Here's a picture of the "workshop", this was taken the day we moved in, it doesn't look like this now!! I'm interested to know the general consensus on OSB vs Ply, I've never worked with OSB before. Is the main difference cost? Wickes 11mm OSB is £15 / sheet, 12mm ply £25 When you're buying...

Valid point, the end wall is block and brick.

Evening all I have a single garage that has a bench at the far end, it's not well lit and the space available is not well used. I have a vague idea of what I want to do, in a nutshell I'll put two sheets of ply/OSB on the wall, painted white, and mount proper racks for tools rather than the...

Cracking result. If I may, why did you make it out of Oak?

Thanks, it's certainly better than the traveller bookcase it once was. Speaking of which, I put this in the space freed up when I removed the bookcase. I estimate it has 250% the capacity of the old one.

Here's my last effort. I cut up a crappy Argos bookcase for the top, and the bottom half is all 3x1 pine and the worst quality 12mm ply I've ever seen! Long haired commander-in-chief was happy though :)

Ah, the sagulator. Thanks, this was my first reply to the question!

Outstanding. My first project looked nowhere near as good!

Wow, good answer! Thanks for that. I'll brace them then.

Thanks, I used that and with a load of 30lb (the default, and I guess about right for books) is says a sag of 0.0cm :) Maybe I could use an 2x1 as a batten against the wall and lay the plywood on that.

Hi all, We have some unused space at the top of the stairs here and I was thinking about making a bookcase to fill the space. It would be 130cm wide and 20cm deep, and extend from floor to ceiling. I would fix it to the plasterboard wall so it would not need to be a free standing one. Does the...

There's a cracking idea
