@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...

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 ...

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...

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...

@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.

@rocknroller912 I don't have any fixed power in the shed. I have to run a cable from the house......maybe one day I'll put some armoured cable in. I've got a little heater but I can only put it on whe...

@russ I work in my garage and don’t have any heating. Sometimes I plug in a dehumidifier to clear the damp.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 @russ Your work space is looking good but you have picked the hardest time of year to start. Your right @rocknroller912. Timing hasn't been kind. I'm hoping for some nice ...

@russ Your work space is looking good but you have picked the hardest time of year to start.

Posted by: @russ My first build will be Mark's Bandsman design following his course step by step @russ you won’t be disappointed, I think as well if you’re using the kit from Mark you’ll avoid some ...

Posted by: @tej @russ one other thing please make sure there is ventilation in the shed so you don’t get trouble with damp and mould? I'm glad you've mentioned that @tej. I've been reading all about...

Posted by: @tej @russ Love it, are you tooled up so to speak or do you need to go shopping before you can start the build? Have you designed what you plan to make, I don’t recall seeing any plans? T...

@russ Wow! Big news and a big step forward. You’re getting closer Russ, it looks great. 👍
