I started today by the way.
The bit you can see is one of five rooms and that is 18x18ft, the others are 18x14ft, 14x8ft, 9x8ft, and 9x8ft. Odd sized I know but we cant take out any walls. I will do a sketch to show room layout.jonnyd wrote:looks like it will be a nice workshop. how big is it?

I'd keep them. They look original and very classy. Not much light though - skylights?mtr1 wrote:Yeah their nice or will be when replaced with some new oak onestheres 3 to do.

You can duct an extractor as far as you like. Straighter the run, larger the diameter, the better.mtr1 wrote:I was thinking of making one of the smaller front rooms into a finishing room, problem is I can't punch a hole through the flint walls for an extractor. So I guess it will be the one at the back of my workshop, with stud wall separating the two machine/assembling rooms and extrac out of window?

How about extraction in your main shop? The other thing that seems to be missing is any kind of storage.
Apart from that it looks good. I like the idea of having seperate areas for machining and assembly. Might be worth moving some of the other machines into the machine shop?
I kind of agree with you there, I am trying to do the best I can with the space I have bud. I'm giving it a shot, I do however understand that with the space I have it will not be suitable for the work I hope to do in the future ie: kitchens. But it is rent free, and I hope it will give me start for a while at least. I think it is quite hard to have all the machine's that you know will make you a few bob in the limited space I have. As for making box's, I have been known to make the odd one or two.nickw wrote:There doesn't seem to be a lot of room left to actually build stuff in. Are you a box maker?
