If I ever win big on the lottery I don't care what house I buy. I want a big #workshop. Several big workshops actually. One for #woodwork. One for #metalwork , maybe even a small #forge. A #carlift in a #garage. A #sanding / finishing area for the wood and a #painting / #spraying area too. A big area for stock materials of all kinds too.
All with lots of handy dandy storage for #tools and consumables. Everything from a big #tablesaw to a box of panel pins. Everything in it's place, exactly where it should be.
All the tools would be top quality. As many #powertools as possible would run off compressed air. Does anyone make an air powered #router? Plus battery ones of everything for outdoors. Dust and fume extraction everywhere of course. Compress all the dust into #logs to burn in a stove to keep the place warm
Currently every single time I try to do any #diy I have to clamber into the loft, go to my shed on my allotment or buy stuff that I know I have somewhere but that I can't find right now. I am fed up of it all.
I don't know exactly what I would actually do in my workshop. It's more that I could do anything I wanted with minimal fuss.
Gilded brass gleams under engraved bands of Arabic verse, its surface alive with scrolling foliage and sharp, angular script. This jug, a vessel of both war and peace, flaunts power in the language of poetry—how many unseen hands once lifted it in triumph?

Some omega symbols I made in forging, I think they turned out well considering I mangled 3 peices before getting it right

Finally got round to sorting out the stand for the railway clock I made.
Not exactly how I planned it, but it works. You can’t see most of it anyway!
Love these decorations on the metal security gates of the former Phoenix Assurance Company buidling on St Vincent Stret in Glasgow. It was designed in a Modern Classical style by Alex D. Hislop and was constructed in 1912.
