6: finish sorting out workshop boxes

I have also test fitted the split system head and cut related holes and finished the door frame.

Still need to paint the floor, install lights, have power fitted off and connected, mount work benches, build shelves, install guttering and down pipe, stain ply on wall unit + door frame + legs on work benches. but in the scheme of things I think im on the home straight ;D

Re: Workshop, On the home straight?

Ok finished early today, so I came home to tackle another of those little jobs :)

I'd scored a couple of bar stools, both needed to have the cheap covering replaced and turns out the sponge wasn't much chop either :( lucky for me we had some felt covered sponge at work that I could use and there was some material saved from when I trimed out the motorhome :D

So I pulled off all the old stuff, cut and glued the new sponge on, stapled the fabric to them & Bam 2 comfy bar stools ;D

Re: Workshop, On the home straight?

Great work, and great thread.

My personal preferrence would have been for a light varnish on the plywood walls, but I'm not paying your bills, so you get to choose ;)

I love the way you've provided for lots of power socket outlets. Can't have too many - or too much lighting. I remember when my late Dad had the family home built (1970-ish) he included his man-cave in the design - it was 12m x 12m, had a double French door entrance, and double switched socket outlets mounted at 1m intervals around every wall - within 2 years he was stringing extension cables across the ceiling!

Don't forget to keep that compressor tank drained (and regularly inspected).

Thanks mate, Your the 2nd person to suggest the varnished wood look, and although I do like the wood look I wanted to go for a more modern professional style... However the Tv/aircon/compressor cabinet & the door frame are going to be stained the same as the steel topped workbench to give some contrast. I'm glad your enjoying the thread.
