Posted by: @russ if I manage to keep it tidy One thing worth doing is to figure out which tools you use often and mount them to a board on the wall. I’m very limited on space here and can’t do that ...

@boo Autocorrect is beating me again it was supposed to read un heated

@russ I think that plastic cases will be fine with silica gel if you’ve got it. I’ve been storing mine like that for years and don’t have any problems. The part most likely to rust is the Chuck, so yo...

@boo I don’t feel so bad now I know that even professional painters get crazy paving sometimes. It happened to me during the summer when I was giving my lathe a re spray. Had to rub it all down and st...

Very interesting. I'm not a painter but want to eventually do this sort of thing. I didn't even know this could happen. It is unfortunate but very helpful for someone like me to see and to see the pr...

Cheers @rocknroller912. I meant to say that the power tools are in their original plastic cases.... not the cardboard box. Do you think they would be fine sitting on a shelf in their plastic case or s...

@russ Silica gel is good in an enclosed space. I don’t keep original boxes as they are only bits of cardboard and I don’t see the point of being precious about stuff like that as it’s never going to b...

Hello again Peeps, Does anyone have any thoughts or advice about storing my power tools and hand tools in my shed over the winter months. All the power tools still have there original cases. There's ...

@boo FRYUP**Bacon and eggs with your fryup sir? Thats a bit of a setback, I'm sorry to see that. It happened to me on my first build, lacquering over my waterslide decals, "fry up" is the perfect de...

@boo Is that you using an aerosol can, just like us amateurs do.

@koendb just got back to forum, re; "Is that something common over where you live?" This is something new to me. We moved up to this area after I retired, I've never heard of such a thing as a 'toolbo...

@Boo Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I do great bullfrogs on my bass.

After scaling the drawing to produce a 17" scale, the body can be cut from a 15"x12" blank with a little room to maneuver. The piece I have is 18"x18", so I have room to adjust where I need to to get ...

Thank you @robin. Your right, if I manage to keep it tidy and get creative with the storage space, I think I could be fairly comfortable in there. I've got a nice wee space outside the shed that I can...

@russ The offer of a friend's workshop hasn't quite materialised yet so inspired by@robin, I've decided to convert my wee 8'x6' garden shed into my workspace. Congratulations on your new workspace,...

Thanks @koendb. It is nice to finally have a space to work in even if it is tiny. The pictures make it look a lot bigger than it is.......and I'm sure it won't stay clean for very long. I will have ...

Nice @Russ! Must be a nice feeling to own a proper place to build guitars..Are you going to make cabinets and drawers and such in there too? I am also setting up my workshop at the moment. But is n...

One of the songs we do with "Akoestische Heeren" (Acoustic Gentlemen) is Green River. Last week when we were jamming at the attic of guitar player Stijn we came up with this version. And decided to re...

Posted by: @boo @russ you should definitely get an electrician to install power in your workshop, it will make life a lot easier. Using extension leads is ok for now but it’s such a pain. I'm giving...
