I guess everyone is looking for the embarassing items in the photographs then. Suggest self censorship before publishing. :D

My whole workroom is like this, take man-size tools and miniaturize them to an effeminate scale, hey presto! :) I'll post a picture of my oxy torch later!

Ok, that's my workshop. It used to be grandad's wood working workshop, but then it was abandoned after his death 20 years ago and turned info storage facility. You can still see some bits of that stuff in the right corner. Well it was full of it and it took me two days to clear out.

This workbench is more than a hundred years old, has quite a history and comes from long dead carpenter. Quite a thing

That is some seasoned lime temprorary stored.

And this is going to be a storage room, this is next door and used to be a chiken house. Allso took a few days to clear out but still needs concrete floor. The roof is leaking allso, so need to get that fixed before i try to dry anything here.

Having taken Paul_B's advice I've taken measures to make sure nothing incriminating is in the photos. The first is after I'd given it a good clean up but after only a few days it soon slips back into how it appears in the second photo i.e. a mess.

My most recent commission has been an artists mannequin which is in the left of the 2nd picture, it's all finished now and passed on to the customer. Really pleased with how it turned out too. Totally hand made and designed by yours truly. Estensive use of drawknife and spokeshaves. He's called Knothead.

My workshop is in the basement of our house between the winestore on the right, now my storage room (plenty of room for both) and the boiler room on the left (which is where Alison has the washing machine)

I made the bench myself, bought the vice for £20 about 8 years ago. I'm a carpenter/joiner by trade so having this small workshop helps me do my little business on the side besides my artwork.

Thanks for sharing pix your own workshops, really interesting to see your set up.

I don't have a laa dee dah carpet but I do have a small coconut mat (hangs head in shame :togo:)

Thanks for looking.

I've cleared out the shed now, just waiting for the funds to build so I can buy some timber, slap some shelves up and bench two of the walls :)
