    What a headache!

    It appears both my email and my forum account went belly up, so this is the new (slightly improved) me! I know it's been ages since I've posted or even been on, but there's a good reason for that.

    As a lot of you know, I've been building my own workshop, when you last saw it I believe it was at foundation level.

    Now, there's a floor, walls, roof, electrics even wallpaper! In other words, it's 90% done! I'm still using a site light for illumination at the moment however, but all in all, it's done(ish).

    I've 90% done my bench also, my firest experiance buscuit joining! 6 2x4's all jointed together for the top. 2x3 for the rails & strechers, all mortice & tennon joints, with a 5" screw here & there....just to make sure....*ahem*

    Oh and yesterday, had my first ever go at dovetails, and I actually did it! Everything fitted! Well pleased with myself. :)

    ANyway, it's good to be back people. Just hope you remember me & don't think I'm just ranting. lol

    Saw the picture of the bench how about pics of the new shop. Bench looks great by the way. Hope you made the shop big enough if there is such a thing. Congratulations on the new shop have fun filling it with new tools.
