In this third video I'm working on the skirting, door frame and walls getting things in place ready to build the bench. This was quite tricky in the garage because the walls aren't flat like they would be in a house, some are shaped stones and others had a lip to the bottom course of bricks. Although it's not usual to put skirting in a garage I wanted to do this to give a neat edge to the nice flooring!
Looking forward to seeing this evolve. It would be really useful if you could show some of the detail about getting the workbench square and plumb. This is always missed off vids, but as a beginner it it something that I struggle with
You've been a busy chap Ian. Fantastic job straightening that door and fitting round the all those awkward bits and uneven stones. I'm building a standing workbench for my bookbinding/leatherwork at the moment and yeah, wood is an arm and a leg at the moment. This is about the 4th bench I've made and the wrong height is a real pain. I've ended up with this one at 1 metre high (I'm 5'11"). It may be a tiny bit too high but it is free standing so I can lower it if needed.
Thanks, Interesting stuff and useful pointers. A bit of road noise coming through on the video. Do you have any thoughts / plans to address, ie insulate garage door or whatever.
I might do but I live on a busy road now so there’s not a great deal to be done about it, I have thought about putting some insulation on the door though yes
Film while you're working on garage too. Would like to see how you installed things as you progressed, instead of just narrating afterward. It looks like it's coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing this project with us.

That's all going to look great Ian! 🔨👍😊

Although the videos are coming out weekly the work all took months, I don’t work very quickly!
Very nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
