I haven’t used a lathe since school but would love to have one.
That brings me onto another subject altogether and probably another thread altogether, but I am now wondering what would be the idiots guide to the best bits of kit I will need to make my shed into a workshop of sorts?
Johnny4428:
Bench, bike lift, storage, tools. A lot to consider when arranging power points lights etc.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When I helped my Bro with his shed we fitted 3 pin double sockets on all four walls - ended up with 8 pairs of double sockets in total - fitted at bench height.
In my garage I also have extra double sockets mounted on the ceiling rafters.
Laverda Dave:
Definitely agree with the bike lift, literally worth their weight in gold. No more working on the cold hard floor, tools at arms length etc. There were a couple of second hand ones in classic bike guide last month. And as Ted mentions, plenty of power sockets dotted around, nothing worse than extension leads over the workshop floor to trip up on.
Laverda Dave:
And a decent radio or music system to keep you entertained. Don't get a TV, you'll never get any work done!
