Posted by: @boo This work area is not a good, clear example of what a safe work environment should be like, it’s a bit messy. 😂 Understatement of the year! 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome @seanf, you’ve definitely come to the right place. Enjoy!

Posted by: @rocknroller912 When you move find a house with a workshop space. @rocknroller912 That is definitely one of the criteria for our new house. I’m willing to build one if the house is right ...

@boo When you move find a house with a workshop space.

@boo That makes sense on the cold conditions! And a perfect way to justify the space for the "DIY jobs" 🙂

Posted by: @seanf I was wondering how will it be in the winter time for doing projects in the garage as it is just single skin. I may just have to layer up if I am full steam ahead on a project! @se...

@boo Great Ideas! I am certainly excited for the setup to come together, and I know someone who has stacks of pallets, so will be giving them a friendly visit 🙂 It would be great to do an indoor setu...

@seanf I later added a small bench vice that just clamps on; it can easily be taken off for times when it’s in the way. It was cheap and good quality from a good quality vendor, I use them a lot. ...

@seanf I also converted the box room in the house into a small indoor workshop, it’s great in the winter. I stripped the room of everything, decorated and used the top off an old wardrobe to make a wo...

@seanf Just to give you another bench idea or two. In my garage/workshop I took an old pallet, screwed some legs to it with strengthening braces and put a big piece of MDF on top. This was all scrap ...

@rocknroller912 , @tej Thank you for your insight! I certainly will keep in mind to ask questions when they come up around tools also. Luckily I have sourced someone with a Router I can borrow initial...

That gives me a better working height

I’ve been using a Blacker and Decker workbench since 1982 and bought a second one a few years ago in a sale but I do find I get back pain now so I tend to work standing up using a T board held in a be...

@boo Thanks for the great suggestion, I have one of those, but didn't even think about getting another one and making a table out of it, that will certainly be much more of a quicker start up for the ...

Posted by: @boo but the trestle table is adequate to start with. I can confirm. I still use mine , as I dont have anything else at the moment. I only use our heavy garden table ( heavy stone surface...

@seanf Welcome to you Sean. Whatever you decide to do first, you will find help here. As far as a bench goes, I used two trestle type things and a big sheet of MDF for my first work bench (see pictur...

Welcome @seanf. You're going to love it. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@rocknroller912 brilliant! I certainly will if I find any more issues with it 🙂

@seanf If you have any repairs to your old guitar other than fretting, which is covered in Marks course, post them on the forum first and you can get a few opinions on the best way to proceed.
