That's a real nice playroom workshop you've got there Chris, it is amazing what you pick up over a short period of time, equipment-wise.

Thanks for showing us. :thumbup:

A very nice space Chris! :thumbup:  I assume handy to the living space?

I like your boxed in fronts to the benches, I should do that too as otherwise it just gets so dusty and untidy under there I can never seem to get motivated to keep the place clean.

The upstand at the front of the bench has got me interested too as that might save me groping in the dark for the elusive 3mm grub screw, even more so with those duck boards.

P.S.  I hope you are not tall enough to bump against that light globe, I would hate to hear you had broken the globe and got a nasty zap!

CC - I don`t know about coal bunker, looks more like they have been digging for it!

John, some interesting points ....

Hummm, you know what it kinda isn`t and that is the number one disadvantage of this shop (but better than not having space for one at all)!! It is under the dining room, so middle of the house. The only enterence at present is a 10ft "crawl" through a 4ft high room under the kitchen. Consequently everything you see in there has been lumped through there including through a 2x2ft enterance hatch! If you notice the step ladders in the corner in the first picture, you`ll see the original step ladders that I choose not to remove. They lead to a hatch that was in the dinning room but obviously now borded up and covered by my wifes much desired oak floor. I have knocked a quick escape hatch through into the space under the stairs now for safety but my uncle is coming before Christmas putting a proper staircase running down into the shop from under the stairs.

Yes, not intentional but it certainly does stop bits and bats falling of the work surface and doesn`t get in the way. It will look better however if I cut it down  :coffee:

That is exactly what my dad said! So he bought me that long strip light above the left hand bench in the first picture. The globe needs taking down and the wires running to the new strip light, just need to get time to do it!

Thanks for posting!

How does the MDF stand up as a drawer insert?

I was going to get some pine (that's wood) and route it out to suit taps, drills etc.
I already have a stack of MDF which would save me some money.
