For years I have always wanted a reasonable place to be able to work on projects, as I'm still living with my parents I usually have to resort to an extremely crowded cellar or work outside depending on the weather. Not having a nice place to work usually means I don't bother at all :( however...

Earlier this year I was in need of a corner desk for my computer, in all honesty I intended to just pick up something cheap and nasty from the likes of Ikea or Staples etc. However every desk I looked at was a couple of inches too big to fit in the space I had for it, this left me no choice but...

Hi all been away from the forums for over a year due to lack of time and space for woodwork, and quite frankly visiting here can be depressing when I cant go out and build things :D I'm currently looking into the possibility of building a rather large workshop and starting to look into some...
