Would you like me to add you location on the members Map? Devon is rather large, first couple of digits of your post code would give others a rough idea of where you are while still providing security.

Sure Andy - it's EX14, just down the road from Axminster tools ;)

Here's some pictures:-

Very nice looking shop. So what goes on inside that red box. Looks very techy

Not sure if having a tool store just down the rood is a good or bad thing. :D

Hi Andy,
Thanks, that is one of two laser cutter/engravers ;)

It is tempting but I have resisted quite well - Yandels is not too far either :-)

Welcome Dave. Nice to see someone putting their shed on a plinth! :)

So.......the laser cutter thingy. Is this for destroying whole cities from space, or does it have a woodworking function?

Thanks Mike - your guide (UKW) was invaluable.

The original slab was laid right up against a Devon hedge bank so I wanted to raise the DPC level so the far right back corner was out of the mud. I still need to sort out the step :). The floor is floating on top of 100mm Kingspan with 18mm chipboard flooring and then the laminate flooring reclaimed from the front room ;)

We have sawmills within a few miles so all the treated wood came from just down the road and was fantastic quality/price. The door was a bargain at £10 from our local recycling plant :)

The lasers are capable of cutting up to 6mm ply (albeit slowly), 4mm MDF, card, Perspex etc. but not metal. They also engrave. I get some fascinating jobs from simple signs to shop displays.

I have another cabin further up the garden which will be the woodworking space (dust and lasers do not mix well ;)).

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,

Did you move from Kent?
I think you helped me acquire some nice apple wood from Bob.

Good to see you back on the forum.
Regards,
Dave
My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.
