Thanks, sorry if this is a stupid question but were do you access pm's, will it show as notifications.
Only hand tools for this.

Hi all just a wee update!
Last pics I was starting insulating and boarding the workshop
And building benches!
However I required a lot of tools and lathe adaptions which cost a fair
bit and it was summer so I thought the insulating can wait for now and I can also work!
But now it's creeping near winter I thought I better get it done!
Still not complete but should finish this today!
Here's more pics:

Blimey Ray , that should keep you warm .

Not much else in your workshop .......you cleaned it out to do the insulation works ?

Must be a bit dirty doing that work .

Tip most things apart from the lathe!
Seems never ending but getting there!
Who ever said cue making is easy? Lol lol

Hi Raymond
I was thinking of using insultaion sheet, between the verticals, they seem to be less susceptable to moisture, but I have gone round the walls with clear sealent and filled any and all gaps/knots, etc
I was thinking of getting some thick MDF boards on the inside, so I can hang a reasonable amount of weight of tools
The floor I also have a suspended board on baton, but thought maybe do thin insulation board sandwich, but unlike you I do not have 2-tonne lathe to cater for
cheers, keep the updates coming

one bit of advice, keep well away from mdf, even hdf isn't stable enough.

I've used osb boards to line the inside!
Just about done! Gonna paint them white to brighten it up a bit!
Cue work had to stop to get this done but once it's done it's done lol
