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     

God knows how I'm going to get it upstairs 

I really must think these things through 

All best wishes

Hi Kevin.

Depends on the weight ask if the delivery driver will kindly help and offer a coffee ?

Looks like progress is being made.

Hi All.

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

It is REALLY heavy 

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 



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

All best Wishes

Kevin

[Phoenix]

Hi All,

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

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 



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 

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



All best wishes

Kevin

Excellent work Kevin @Phoenix , are you a kitchen fitter in your spare time!

Tim

[Phoenix]

Thanks Tim ,

I wish I was a Kitchen fitter, then what I'm doing would stand up to closer inspection     

All best wishes

Sounds like a pint or two is in order

[Bealman]

That is indeed an impressive work area.    

[Phoenix]

Hi All,

All is going well, and thank you George. 

The advantage I am finding is I have a free canvas to do what I want, rather than adapt a "Second hand" space

All the units are in place now and held together with the brackets



There are plug sockets on the back wall that I won't be able to reach, so I am doing the same as I did before, and running an extension lead from the socket through to a filler panel next to one of the drawer units



For lighting, I have a magnifying lamp I got last year from "Expo" at the Basingstoke Exhibition. It was an ex display lamp that was at a very reasonable sale price     





All going well, and the modelling room should be done soon. I have got the first model out ready to build     



All best wishes

Kevin
