Hi Aine

I'm also a pet lover, so you have my prayers. We have five rescued dogs, 3 lurchers (Yazz, Fred & Zico) and 2 Jack Russels (Ronnie & Reggie). Also we have a brain damaged cat which was rescued. Our cat (Mollie) is unable to climb, she walks sideways like a crab, wont go out the garden and ...

Ah! looking at prospero's workshop has given me some good information, after seening the morso built with a bench to the left of it and level with the bed to support the mouldings.
I never thought about this option and was worried how I could achieve more work surfaces and storage

Kev & Pat thanks for posting the pictures, it really helps with me designing my workshop. Both your workshops look very impresive.
Maybe I'll post a picture of mine when it's complete and then I will be open to some constructive critiscm which may help fine tune the project

The other thing I've done with my main workbenches is to use 2 sheets of MDF for the top. The bottom sheet is fixed and edged with 2x1 timber. The top sheet drops into the 2x1 frame. This means that when it gets damaged or worn I can flip it over or replace it easily (at least, that's the theory ...

Hi Aine

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at making the length of bench the full width of the garage (8 foot) and 3' in depth sounds a very good idea. The only trouble with this design would be that i could only work from one side and not several. With your experience could you see this causing a ...

I agree with Steve, there are too many reality programs dominating our TV sets at the moment. All the ones Steve mentioned plus more.
