Darrens new workshop
John Stevenson:
True story:-
British Sugar at Colwick got that fed up of people nicking sugar they put a new set of scales in for the trucks. Weighed in empty, less driver and weighed out full, again less driver so they knew to 1 Kg what the truck had on.
Now drivers are not thick whatever you think so they used to put about 20 house bricks in the cab, get weighed in, go round the corner, throw the bricks out, load up, get weighed out and then stop somewhere and take 40 kg of sugar off.
Later when they wanted to build a new warehouse the architects were looking round and one said "look you could save costs by reusing all these old bricks "...............
.
Darren:
One brick at a time :lol:
Darren:
A bit of sun works wonders... :ddb:
Started on the garage doors, got one done..... :)...just one to go.... :ddb:
Frame is 4x2 and the planks are t&g floorboards, all glued and fixed with pins through the tongues
Top and bottom trimmed after construction to keep a straight line.
Frame 6x2 rawlbolted to the blocks, screwed to the gantry beam at the top and will be concreated in the floor at the bottom.
Nice heavy hinges rebated flush into the frame.

Nice work Darren
It looks big enough for a tumble drier, or is it going to be a machine only zone
