bikermutt07 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Posted September 3, 2018 Yeah it's a slow process. But, I'm also doing other things around the house. It will take a little time.

Its about 7-8 years old ,.... I think. Its on my private property out of town , but with a business permit from the local shire . ( with conditions) . I have yet to add signage to the outside and to my front gate, but everyone in town knows where I am anyway . 14 years ago, I started in a small room in the house , which is about 30mtrs away, but it got a bit >>> squeezy<<< All the best with your workshop HS Edited September 4, 2018 by Handstitched Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members Handstitched Posted September 5, 2018 Members Report Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) G'day, Thank you Aven . Theres still a few things I like to do to the outside, mainly just ' pretty it up' and maybe give it a more " western look " , with a few ' horsey' & western bits & pieces , some signage , and some colourful potted plants . I want it to look presentable to my customers . I'll get there eventually. G'Day Rockoboy , yes, its insulated. Just go back and have a look on page two, I've put together a ' montage' of pics of my workshop. In one of them you can see the insulation on the walls & roof. It has made a difference. I have a kero heater ( which you can also see) , so with that and the insulation combined , its quite cozy . The air cond for summer is on the cards. I have two fans, but in 45- 50 deg heat on occasion, they just don't cut it, even with insulation BM, have you had a chance to have a play with your Consew machine yet?

I found this morning about 0330 that it was nice to be able to roll it out from the wall when doing a long french seam for a duffle bag.

No, no casters for me. @Handstitched, I have played with it a little, but I'm definitely going to need a speed reducer before I chance using it on a project.
