Thanks for sharing Terry. Nice work and can't wait to see the next steps. Very jealous of the head height you have to work with - my workshop is an ancient double garage but the sloping roof is barely 7' at the low end!
Great to see you back Terry. My wife and I moved in 2021 and have had to do similar to you to get my two car garage into the workshop I have wanted for many years. Just finished reorganising it yet again to make room for a CNC router coming from the USA in February. If you get the chance and have the budget then consider changing the thin steal panelled garage door for insulated sound proof ones, makes the workshop warmer and helps a lot with soundproofing and not to mention no more detritus blowing in through the poorly sealed doors. Looking forward to the next update.👍
Hi Craig, that’s very kind of you to say so. Thats exciting for you having a new CNC router coming over from the US, I bet you can’t wait. You’re absolutely right about the garage door it’s the next thing on my list, but so many jobs to do in the cottage, including a new kitchen.
@@Terrythemaker Yes I feel your pain, had to do the same in ours as well as remove an old Aga by myself but good thing we did given the cost of gas nowadays.
New subscriber, great to see your new workshop and the fitting out. Just one observation I would have looked at utilising some of your loft for storage=rage or even installation of dust extraction along the way -even if only the middle strip - but love to see how it all turns out.
Hey Terry, just wanted to say thanks for your review of the router table insert for the Makita trim base. It was certainly pivotal in my purchase. It is bang on like you said. Really chuffed! Any advice on t-track. Looking for something of equal quality and value. Keep up the good work. It’s appreciated. Cheers, Nick
Hi Nick, I didn’t do too much research on T-Track when I bought mine, but I bought the UJK range from Axminster Tools. To be fair it’s pretty good, but to be honest I think it’s all pretty much the same.
Thanks Neil, he didn’t want to run any wire until I was finished with the stud work, but I wanted it run, so he said he would simply put them in place until I was finished and then come back, so probably my fault 😂
Thanks Terry, interesting to see your progress, always exciting to set up a new workshop, but lots of work of course, looking forward to part two ! Sorry to hear about your fall and break, glad you're well and mended now ! Liked and subscribed !
Hi Terry just found you. New space is looking great. I’m a little concerned about the vapour barrier going over the insulation though as it will trap moisture onto the insulation causing damp and possibly mould. I would have personally installed the vapour barrier on the back of the stud wall then insulate and then board over. That’s how I did my garage conversion into our new kitchen/ living room. You want to stop the moisture from the brick work penetrating the insulation or timber. Also rock wool on top of your ceiling will help with heat retention and noise.
Hi, thanks for watching and thanks for your comments. This is such a grey area. I have asked building experts, I’ve asked a senior architect who designs new builds. I’ve asked experience builders and I’ve watched 100s of UA-cam videos before I decided on a vapour barrier and no one can give me a rock solid answer as to what is the correct way. Most people have actually said, don’t install a vapour barrier in a garage, as it’s a waste of time. I do tend to agree with you, but I’ve not seen a single UA-cam video where that’s been done, they all seem to put the vapour barrier on the warm side and then their plasterboard or OSB.
@@Robswoodworkingdiyyour right he did, I was told because I was brick and rendered I should put it on the inside (warm side) and I should be ok, let’s hope so 😂
Thanks Duncan, I do have storage in the loft space, I’ve boarded a small section and fitted a loft ladder. But I don’t want to make the mistake that I did in my old workshop. I used that for storage and when we moved I could not believe how much stuff I had up there. It ended up becoming a dumping ground so this time I’m conscious of that, I will fit my dust extraction later, I have 2 record power Cam Vacs and a record power dust filter that will hang from the ceiling, thank you for watching 😊
Thanks Paul, I will have loads of content coming up now we have finally moved, its great to have a workshop again and to have my tools out of storage 👍🏼
Just wondering why you didn’t use plasterboard for the ceiling as it would be cheaper and it helps to soundproof, workshop looks good my garage has the car in it.
I will try to find it for you Dean, the lights are from screwfix and the surrounds are from Amazon, there are loads of companies selling the surrounds but they are all basically the same 👍🏼

Hi Oliver, mine is not that much higher, especially now that I have boarded the ceiling 👍🏼

I subscribed and am following from Paris, Ontario Canada.
Well done. Patiently waiting to see part 2. Subscribed. Work safe.
Thank you 😊

Enjoyed that. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻👍🏻

Have a word with you're electrician, looks like he wired that from the van, rough as. A few clips go a long way

@@Terrythemaker Tim from the restoration couple did the same as I did. That’s where I got the idea from. .👍👍

Very pleasant. Thank you.
Thanks Jack 😊
Great work so far looking forward to part 2 👍
Welcome back Terry, it's been a long wait but definitely worth it 👍
Thanks Paul, I will have loads of content coming up now we have finally moved, its great to have a workshop again and to have my tools out of storage 👍🏼
Hi, It's coming along well, looks to be a good sized workshop, cant wait to see the rest of this build, just subscribed ,catch you soon take care
Thanks Shaun 👍🏼
very jealous i'm in a single garage, looking good
Just wondering why you didn’t use plasterboard for the ceiling as it would be cheaper and it helps to soundproof, workshop looks good my garage has the car in it.
I’m not a fan of plasterboard, I believe it’s slightly heavier and dents really easily if knocked, plus you get a better fixing in OSB. 👍🏼
Very nice 👌
Good work!
Shop? Nice what are you selling? Got a link?
Not selling anything, not making anything yet until I get this workshop finished 😂
@@Terrythemaker oh, so its not a shop
Great video mate, it’s really coming along nicely isn’t it
Thanks pal 👍🏼
Do you have links to those lights etc please
I will try to find it for you Dean, the lights are from screwfix and the surrounds are from Amazon, there are loads of companies selling the surrounds but they are all basically the same 👍🏼
This amateur has got less charisma than a bag of dust!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Ryan, all comments greatly appreciated 😂
