Looks like you need more space

Phoenix

Hi Martin,

I think I will need some more space when the worktop arrives ..... it's 3m long  :goggleeyes:  :worried:  :goggleeyes:

God knows how I'm going to get it upstairs  :confused1:

I really must think these things through  :hmmm:

All best wishes

Hi All.

Getting there bit by bit, some more stuff arrived this morning, including the worktop  :D

It is REALLY heavy  :worried:

38mm thick and 3m long, it would not go up the stairs as there is a 90 degree turn on the stairs so I cut the end off downstairs and then it wasn't too bad  :thumbsup:



Can't wait to get everything done so I can get down to a bit of modelling  :D  :D  :D

All best Wishes

Hi All,

I's been a bit rainy here, so I've been getting on quite well in getting the workbench built.  :D

To give me more room, most of the stuff has been piled up at the opposite end of the room I'm working in



Now I've been putting things together at the "bussiness" end  :thumbsup:



Apart from the weight of the worktop making it really hard to move around, the hardest part was getting all the different units the same height without affecting the drawers and cupboard doors, and also getting all the drawers to work ok .

All seems to be fitting together well, so I've got a whole bunch of brackets and stuff to hold it all together,



When everything is secure I can think about what I need on the back wall along with a couple of organizers I have  :hmmm:

Incidentally, one side effect from all this is having a cupboard full of polystyrene to carve hills and valleys from  :D  :D  :D



All best wishes
