I have finally had it, after a weekend in the igloo my feet are still blue the next day despite 3 pairs of socks and i have frostbite from Robert Sorby despite every portable heater on at full pelt i normally avoid woodwork at this time of the year where possible but the lathe has taken over my soul.
So after a conversation last night with her Multitude its time for a rethink, i have a double garage with a large apex roof which is floorboarded for storage, two metal garage doors, single brick and a concrete floor no insulation whatsoever and the garages ares solely used for woodwork
There are heaps of posts especially by Waka which i have read i have some basic questions.
1. Can i get away with insulating the roof apex and boarding up the garage doors or should i consider the walls and floors
2. My benches are a mixture old kitchen units and home made 6ft benches, i want to change them all is the general consensus to put power tools on individual wheeled benches (axminster type) or build fixed units around the edge,
3. Software - is there a simple MFI kitchen style shareware/cheap prog i can download which would help with the design
4. Pictures - inspiration needed i have looked at some of the pics on the site of members workshops which are fantastic, does anyone who hasn't posted have a pic they could upload or email me
Many many thanks in advance
