Nice. Do yourself a favour and get a dehumidifier

[raymo147]

Cheers for the advice mike! Can imagine it will get hot it there!
So will do! If I can splice and make cues to your standard il be a happy chappy!
Bring on the splicing! Lol

for the wood ya fool!

looks like a lovely setting you have but i can almost feel the damp from here...

buy a cheap humidity sensor, i would guess you'll find it at least 55-60%. you wanna be lower than 50% really.

[raymo147]

Doh! Lol! Yes that's a worry mike! I won't be leaving cues in there overnight at anytime and had it in mind to store wood elsewhere at times! But understand you want everything at hand! I'm gonna insulate the shed think it's a must!
Thanks for the advice! Anymore is appreciated!
The journey continues!

Ah love a good workshop!
Ive been getting all anal about sticking tools in specially built racks on the walls in my workshop.
Workshop porn, bring it on!

Keep the pics coming. How is the chipmaster? Did you get it in the end?

[raymo147]

Hi Jason! Yeah this is just the start! So much I wanna do to the workshop!
But at least the main structure is now in place!
It's a 15x12 shed! Made from 15mm boards!
Wanna get it insulated and stuff!
Need to get the chipmaster in place and workbenches built!
But it's all good and part of the journey!
Next job is to get the electricity installed!
Will keep a wee blog going!
I hope to get working on cues one day before I'm
80 years old! Lol

Looking class raymo. You'll be dying to get stuck in. You will defo need a dehumidifier and a heater out there. Once the lathe goes in you'll never be out.

[raymo147]

I mate cheers! Still a long way to go! But yes will need to get all those things done!
Feel it's took so so long just to even get to this stage! But always had a picture in my mind to how I want it to be!
Slowly getting there now! It seems a big space but once my benches are built,lathe put in place and all
Other tools are in! It will cut it down a bit!
Just can't wait to get going! How you getting on with your bats?

[raymo147]

Looks really good and sturdy mate!
All the best with it all!
