@frocesterbill Yes it's great for the well being. As I'm working outside a lot of the time, so as not to fill my hut and lungs with dust, my guitar has become a bit of a conversation piece on the caravan site with people wandering past.

I suppose that like some addictions it does consume money - it is good for general well-being though....

@darrenking Learning to play guitar and watching Mark's livestreams was only supposed to to pass the time while I was in lockdown and shielding, now the boat is laying neglected while I'm turning bits of junk wood into the shape of a guitar. I'm guessing that it might be addictive.

Could be another website/eBay offering, I don’t know, I’ve never actually costed them. Bloody useful though!

@darrenking

Ahhhh ... useful things, laser cutters, CNC machines, et al! Useful things that you can make other useful things with.

I have some similar box things from Ikea from years and years ago, but they're smaller combinations.

Put me down for a set when you start eBaying them

;)

@robin I’d give up sailing and cutting your grass ASAP if I were you! eBay is a great way to get rid of unwanted ‘ex-hobby’ items for when you need to make space for the things that really matter!!? ?

@tv1010101

Hi TV1010101010011001, the first pic in the thread shows them coming off my laser clutter. They are actually remarkably strong given their 2mm MDF construction. Could be another website/eBay offering, I don’t know, I’ve never actually costed them. Bloody useful though!

You're all so lucky to have so much cluttered space. I'm working in a 8' x 6' hut that also stores my sailing gear, outboard motors, lawn mower and an increasing collection of bits of wood. So I'm mostly working outside when I'm doing anything that ceates dust. Tools are gradually taking over my workbench.
