I'm in at last

[devonwoody]

Went into the workshop the first this afternoon for an hour and started tidying up to begin the new season, around about 6c inside but bitter wind so less outside.

Reckon I will manage around 2 hour sessions this season, I'm getting breathless.

Did you not see my guitar WIP with it snowing outside???

-6.8 Here this morning on the way to work

It's the one advantage of my tiny workshop (just enough room for my lathe, bandsaw, pro-edge and bench drill with a few shelves for bits and pieces) is that I can get it warm with a 1.5kW radiator. I have kept the radiator on all winter at a frost setting to stop liquids freezing and potentially spoiling. I knock the heater up a couple of notches about an hour before I want to start any work in the workshop and it is then quite warm, even if the heavy metal parts of the lathe, bandsaw, etc. are still very cold to the touch. Surely this cold north-easterly cannot last too many more days?

24C in my shop today with small window open for lathe extractor replacement air, shed extractor came on automatically to cool it down, cool 5.8C outside though with a high wind chill to go with it.

If I ever have another property built it will have a south facing glass wall.

And I still haven't made it past knocking down wall after wall after wall of our outhouses in prep for kitchen extension!!!

Cold, but soon warms you up - over 2,000 bricks stacked ready to be cleaned #-o
