Hello

Postby MY63 » 17 Oct 2018, 23:08

I have been visiting for some time gathering information for an upcoming workshop build.
Having been disappointed by the poor quality and high prices of “sheds” offered for sale and been inspired by builds I have read about here I have decided to build my own.
I am in my 50s and after a life changing accident retired from work some time ago. I started making boxes to keep my hands moving but found it a little heavy, purely by accident I started working with leather and have been playing at it for around five years.
We don’t have a lot of room in the house so a garden workshop is what I need.
I am sure I will be asking lots of questions so thanks in advance.

Hi, Michael and welcome. Plenty of knowledgeable folks around here to help you I am sure.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Welcome along Michael,

There is a great collection of diverse expertise here and no questions are silly if you don't know the answer so feel free to ask away.

Hi Michael and a warm welcome from a fellow Northerner.

Whereabouts in the NE are you ?
