Rejigged Workshop

[kiwigeo]

For the last 18 months the workshop has been packed up during a new house build. Myself and the good wife lived in our garage and the workshop during the build as a cost saving measure. Now that the house is finished Ive been busy getting the workshop back up and running. A temporary bathroom was set up in the garage and this is now a wood store. The cabinet work from the kitchen in the old house has been turned into a large work bench in the main shop.

The re-setup of your workshop Martin looks great. I also like your wood storage room.

I do not see a beer fridge. Obviously still a work in progress....

Looking good Martin. I like the separate rooms for the dusty, noisy machines and the clean work. And the store room separate again - that is ideal. The main work room has great natural light, I am very jealous of that. Do you plan to build a go bar deck over one of those benches? Are you trying to manage RH in the whole space, or only in the workroom?

The go bar deck can go on either the large bench or the smaller bench. In the old shop this is where I did most of my work. I had a dehumidifier running in the main shop when I first built it but found that with the insulation and door/window seals I didn't really need it. The wood store is well insulated and if necessary Ill pop a small heater in there during the winter months to keep humidity down.

LOL.....beer intake has been cut drastically for health reasons of late. The new house has a huge pantry so all the booze is kept there.

Congrats on finishing the house and putting your shop back together. That is a serious stash of wood. That should keep you busy for quite a while. Thanks for the shot of your library. I saw a few books I might go looking for.

What's your first new build going to be?

What's your first new build going to be?

Hi Lillian, the first build? Ive got 3 half finished guitars and a lute that needs a nut and stringing up. Theres a Gore OM, a classical and a parlour guitar and the Gerber lute. Need to finish those first and then move onto some new builds.

I remember your lute. I was totally blown away by the rosette. I saw it sitting on the bench, but thought you were done with it.

A multiscale OM commission build took precedence over the lute and I never quite got back to finishing the lute.
