Some more work recently, have been putting in the celotex which is going well! (hammer) I have lifted the supporting timber off the floor about 15mm, and am wondering weather to do the same with the OSB that is going over the top, or to rest that on the floor? I raised the timber up...

This looks like a great space, I really like the windows all the way round, lots of light and it looks great! Will you be insulating it at all do you think? I am at a similar point with mine, shell is built but now finding an electrician to run power to it, and reading all the threads on here...

Thats a neat trick to paint them, they look great, thanks for the link! Will be interesting to see how they hold up in the weather :)

Thanks Mike, that makes sense, I will probably go with some thin OSB - is the foil on the insulation like Celotex designed to be water permeable so any vapour that does get in can get out again? In regard to the walls is any treatment of them recommended before lining them? I guess not as then...

Haha, fair enough. The building went up at the same time as I became a father :shock: , so photos of the build are a bit few and far between, but here are a few I just took now! I've put on a couple of coats of Weathershield on it, though I think that has made it look pretty harsh so thinking...

A few months on and the shell of this build is now completed! I shall post some pictures shortly, but we went with a 2.5x6m rendered single skin construction in the end, areated blocks and an OSB / GRP roof. A bit long and skinny sure, but its what the garden would allow really, and while I will...

Yeah you are right it would impact the internal space, though the timber frame would be about the depth of the blocks at around 100mm, so say maybe 20mm air gap, the blocks are Thermalight I think so they have fairly ok insulation anyway, so might only need 50mm Celotex or similar and then...

Hi all, We recently had our garage replaced (A series of lets change the asbestos roof, oh the roof structure is all rotten, oh well the walls are actually cracked and falling apart ok lets re-build the whole lot!) And am now looking at options for a workshop! It will be close to a boundary...

Apologies for the picture size and thanks for the advice, and the wood identification! :D I have managed to fill my work area up with other stuff at the moment making more shelves for the garage but once that is done I should have some more space and can turn some more practice pieces :) Chris

Thanks for warm welcome, I have already started asking questions in the woodturning forum, a great resource indeed!

Thanks for the welcomes :) Stanleymonkey: Indeed I have, a great little place! I bought a Record No.5 engineering vice for £25, bit of a scrub up and it works very well :-) Chris

Hi all, I went on the 2 day Axminster wood turning course at the beginning of the year and really enjoyed it, so after some hunting and getting my own space I bought an Axminster AWVSL900 from WellsWood on this forum and have just set it up and turned my first thing since the course, was going...

Evening all! I stumbled onto this forum a while ago, and loved looking at the pages of workshop builds and the stuff coming out of them - I grew up with a fair bit of space and tools to play around with, but then spent a fair bit of time at Uni and then in small London flats with a few tools...
