Thanks Steve,
Yes have a space is the most important thing and somewhere I have wanted for a long time. Bit by bit I will get it to where I want it. As for collecting I learnt some time ago via a rather transitory life that it is better to use the things you love than collect them but there is a opposite to that in that collecting does come in handy one just needs to use it! On a side track have become very interested in tiny houses and small living so am hoping to learn skills in my workshop to these ends. Anyway better get back to it..

The problem with collecting, particularly bits of wood, is that you soon run out of space to move about. But you seem to have noticed that.
I'm only just getting on top of my many years of collecting.
But it is very satisfying when you get to the bottom of the pile and can now find space to actually do some useful work.
Dave.

Nearly at the bottom of the inherited pile Dave.. :)
Well one step further forward and have now cleared the space and got a bit timber to mock up the space before the chill got the better of me, hope to have the heater in there tomorrow. Next is find the stretcher timbers and cut some plywood for draw runner mount.

Regarding collecting old timber, I have a weakness for Oak,Ash and Beech.
I've got a right collection of all 3,mostly planed planked stuff from old furniture but it does get used for quite a number of projects of my own and some gets donated to friends as needed........OZ.

Unfortunately most of mine is tat! apart from some oak beams.. but once I have it all ship shape I will then be able to start my own pile..
