This eases the location problems associated with Roger's "long wood machines". I won't have machinery on wheels: if it doesn't earn a permanent part of the floor plan it doesn't come into the workshop in the first place. Hatches resolve many of these moving-machines issues.

The floor of my garage is nowhere near level or flat, so if I were to install my benches so all the tops were equal height I'd had to pack up one end of the run several inches. Instead I built my mitre saw bench considerably taller than the neighbouring workbench and router table so it could be levelled independently, timber can pass over the top unobstructed and best of all; my planer thicknesser can be stored underneath with the fence removed when I don't need it. My mitre saw bench is also narrower than my workbench so the vice is still usable.

The car is a 1997 Mk1 Mazda MX5, I know, not quite a classic yet but very nearly there. We bought it in 2007, went on loads of Sunday morning group runs and exhibited it at lots of shows with various clubs. If you can bear all the bloody adverts there's loads of photos on my photobucket account Will1983_MX5.
We took it off the road a few years ago, there was pretty significant rust to the sills. This prompted me to learn to weld and they were dually repaired. It still needs respraying to get it back up to its former glory though. As for the restoration I am very very slowly working though the usual tidying up and servicing tasks. It isn't high on the priorities list though having a full house to decorate and countless other DIY jobs to do.
Hopefully I will have it done in the next 12 months though, we are planning a trip down to Italy in it once finished.
