Hi Mike  :wave: welcome to Madmodder :mmr:

I too am without a workshop at the present, the best advice I've been given regarding building a workshop is if it's a timber construction (rather than a block build), make the dimensions to be whole multiples of the standard sheeting size, 8 x 4 in old money (2440mm x 1220mm in bright new pennies) as it saves on cuts and material wastage(and we all know a waist is a terrible thing to mind :lol: ).

I hope to build a 16ft by 8ft workshop a bit later in the year (got to save up some more pennies 1st.

Hi Mike

Nice to hear from someone relatively local (Ashtead, near Epsom). I only have a 7x14 and a Mill but if you ever get stuck for bits your welcome to pop round. PM me for address. I have a fair selection, and am now quite proficient at grinding HSS lathe tools. I have done a fair bit since becoming interested but now prefer to work mainly with steel unless the part has minimal stresses or needs to be of light weight. I think Crawley Metals is the nearest metal merchant, otherwise its all online purchase. If you find a local scrappy who will supply let me know. Good luck with your new adventure, and if your working with Aluminium don't forget to check out Anodising, as it hardens, protects and makes stuff look really smart.

Best Regards
