@edwin Guitarbuilding is an outdoor activity for me. Under normal circumstances I live in a caravan for about 8 months of the year. I love working outdoors, you can do a lot with a folding up workbe...

@tv101 beautiful cabinet build. Very clean and you have a really nice workspace. @Boo must be nice to have an extra indoor space for specialty work. Nice use of space with your floating shelves/benche...
