    Nettle tunic

    It's difficult to say, it's soft but also quite thick and tough. I need to wash it a few times to see how it holds up. One thing i did notice is that the ends unravel super easily, I would have preferred to wrap the hem over twice but it would have been too thick and bunched the shape out too...

    Nettle tunic

    I've been working a lot on my Pictish attire this last year, and recently made this tunic. It's made from Irish nettle fabric which was a birthday gift, entirely sewn by hand using the same fibres pulled from the fabric (thanks for the advice Toddy :) ) What makes it Pictish rather than...

    Insulating wooden workshop advice

    Sounds good Andy! I've got a fair chunk done over the weekend with a mates help. All walls are now insulated and clad in 9mm osb. I've done the side door the same and in the process of doing big double doors as they take up almost an entire wall. The whole building has slumped a little so not...

    It's a fair size, bigger then 10x12 I'd originally put. Closer to 16x20 I think. It was used to house tractors before. You're welcome over anytime :) Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

    Insulating wooden workshop advice

    Fit the polystyrene today, great fun when no two dimensions are the same in the whole place. Got plenty left over to do the doors and most of the ceiling too. Just waiting for chipboard to turn up so I can board up the walls and make a ceiling which I'll insulate too and get storage in the loft...

    Insulating wooden workshop advice

    Thanks guys, won't bother with the vapor barrier then, will save time and money too. The polystyrene should fit flush, I got the foam to fill in any dodgy gaps around pipes and bolts etc. Sadly no windows and I'm loathe to cut any in. I'll miss working beside a window with a view, just going...

    Insulating wooden workshop advice

    Thanks for the tips mate, I'll have the pop down Poundland in the week. I've now got all walls sealed with breather membrane and fitted battons in between to keep the insulation sheets off the wall with a nice air gap. Once my polystyrene goes in I'll seal around it with expanding foam. Not...
