Hey folks, now I've replaced my stolen tools, I'm cracking on with the build of a new garden office and I'm hoping to get the c24 treated timber at a better price than the retail stores. I'm close to a timber merchant (Mon Timber) but their prices are much higher than Wickes, so wondering if...

The problem with the wall height is that my land is about 1.5m lower than my neighbours. Which means the wall would be about 4m high in some sections and block loads of light coming into our garden.

Good point, from what I can tell they resigned themselves to the shed being insecure and moved anything expensive elsewhere (in their house I presume). Security looked pretty dung and from the proximity of their shed to my workshop I'm guessing theirs was first then with nothing in there of...

Not sure about that - my neighbour kindly informed me that this is the second time they've been hit now. Whilst I want to wait to improve security before replacing the tools, I need the tools to improve the security :-( chicken and egg!

Thanks for the advice folks. PIR lighting and camera - on the case, going to get that sorted asap. Unfortunately hard to secure access - they came in over my wall from a neighbours property and I'm limited in options. Nice idea on marking all the tools - I'll look into that as well. I'm tempted...

Seven power tools were taken and I'm now looking at beefing up the security (was a...

Funny you should mention the dado stack as before posting this thread I was searching for which table saws can take a dado stack lol!

The thing that led me to thinking I needed a table saw was the number of youtube videos I've watched of people making chopping boards - I don't think I've seen a single one that uses a band saw. But that said, if it'll do the job plus take up less room and let me cut curves etc, then it sounds...

Thanks for the replies both. Any idea how much I should budget for the planer/thicknesser + band saw? In terms of dust extraction, I've a workshop vac under the bench that I'm using and connecting to whatever power tool I'm using, so hopefully that's covered.

Hi folks, I'm new here and I've just built my very first workshop (pics here: My workshop ). At the minute I have a mitre saw and a router, some sanders, a pillar drill and not much else. My space is fairly limited (10' x 12') and I'm keen to start making some things like chopping boards. I have...
