Hi Mark, welcome to the collective   :borg:

I'm sure you'll fit right in here, but dont forget to photograph everything you do as  :worthless:

Blimey Framey you must be a slim chap.... :bugeye:

I thought my current working area was small but I don't think I could get in yours..... :lol:
Don't envy my garage build, look at it as something to aim for, if that's what you want.

It's taken me a lot of work and hours to build it.....what I call hard work, not used to it see.... :ddb:

Welcome to the fold, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here  :thumbup:

I can see how that might be a slight drain on the finances but ............. well worth it I'm sure  :beer:  .............. anyway, welcome aboard and there's no rush, just pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Hi Mark  :wave:


As said (kind of) welcome to the collective  :borg:


You will find that we're not a bad bunch of guys, we generally say it as we see it and will mostly try to help out where it's needed..... Do try and search for it first though, basic knowledge can be found all over the interweb!  :smart:


Now.... On to this shop space of yours.....  :jaw:

Looks a little like mine used to! (see " Our shop" and look through) Ahh who am I kiddin? Mines still like that, just a little more organised!

I like the title of the picture :lol: 


Simple things to remember about this forum.....

Have fun, make jokes as you see fit (keep 'em clean unless in PM's), lots of pic's and generally...... Have fun  :ddb:  I think that covers most of it!?


Oh yes..... almost forgot to mention.....  :mmr:    :thumbup:

Hi Mark!

Welcome to the collective  :borg:

Never fear about the workshop. At least you have a home for the tools.

Can't wait to see what you do.
