The House Projects Thread
Re: The House Projects Thread
I worked hard yesterday, today I couldn’t be bothered with work so I set upon the workbench project. Couldn’t resist a tool wall...
The bench is built from an old table and will get casters soon (when they arrive) so it can be moved into the middle for long things. I may still put doors on the front (It’s made the right size for the doors I have) but I’m undecided at the moment.
Somewhere to tinker!

Oooh, a Ryobi powertool selection. Ryobi are really underrated IME.
Good work.. All you need is a wood vice and a metal vice and you're set.

Re: The House Projects Thread
Yeah, looks good Rich...
I wouldn’t put doors on it but maybe a strip if wood, half way up the legs to stop stuff moving, falling off as you move it
A decent work bench is something I’ve never had

Re: The House Projects Thread
Yeah, I’m thinking doors may end up just getting in the way and ending up messy inside. I think I’ll just have one tool chest below and room to move the chop saw below when not in use, as that’s always been my issue - things not having their place.
Vice/s are definitely on the list, as well as a matching height table saw and lots of clamps!

Good job, first proper thing I ever built was this workbench 6 years ago, it was made with what the builders had left behind. Originally I had either side of the workbench raised so it was level with the cutting base of the mitre saw. Then that saw died so I removed all that. Should last forever though.
How about not having a sig at all?

Christ, the amount of Tools I could collect and never use if I had that set-up

Why’s there a random goat?

Liking the power tool wall idea. Sadly mine are mostly corded so they'll have to stay their boxes. It's given me some ideas though.Rich B wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 5:33 pm I worked hard yesterday, today I couldn’t be bothered with work so I set upon the workbench project.

it’s basically like a chicken. When someone’s in the garden he’s let out and wonders where ever he likes.

Loving the workbench pics although [mention]Mito Man[/mention] gets added-points just for the fabulous goat.
We have a large shed about to be empty and the garden office which needs fitted out, so I'm thinking the shed gets a workbench and I can then move everything from the garage in to there.

Love a bit of curry goat
Re: The House Projects Thread
I'd love a goat, or a few goats, but I think we have enough animals.

It’s like having a full time gardener who doesn’t listen, they’re great.

Re: The House Projects Thread
Really struggling to find a cost effective solution that I'm happy with for the garage floor. I would like epoxy painted, but I think if you don't scabble it first it basically won't last (or is a lottery at best), so I'd be looking at paying a contractor £££, or trying to do it myself which even then isn't cheap by the time you've hired kit to scabble it and bought the paint... plus would have the added risk of fucking it up.
Might have to look at tiles again, although I just think once you start storing a car in it oil etc will get into the concrete and it would be hard to go back to the painted solution later.
Probably worth getting a quote for epoxy I suppose.
