I would like to register my disgust at the cleanliness of your working environment. It's just not cricket - please dump a bucket of swarf on your car and scatter your tools around the place (hiding the ones you use the most).

Not nearly enough trip hazards in my opinion either. Get yourself an angle grinder and leave it plugged in with the extension cable laid over all major routes of access.

After that you want some really bad lighting so you cant see any tools as it all looks black from grinding away at that secondhand exhaust. Only then can you be assured that you're building it properly...

Yes I must agree. Not enough junk, and hazardous objects. The lad must not be right up in the top department.

You've also clearly forgotten to hang something from the roof at just the right height so that most of the time you can just walk under it, but every now and then you crack your head on it good and proper

Looks like a nice job you've done there. I've just starting planning my loom on paper, if the finished thing comes out anything like my fevered scribblings then my loom's going to end up looking like the result of trying to feed a stroppy 3 year old spaghetti...

The front shed door is just that right height Even with the tidyness both of us managed to fall over something during the course of the day

It must make the build very boring - being able to find the tool you are looking for!

looking good - wish my Tiger loom looked as neat!

thanks everyone

When you work in a workshop crawling around on a dirty greasy floor all day, i really dont want to have to come home to it as well!

Yep managed to bang heads on the door and fall over a few things in the day but all good in the end. roll on the next project.

You can also walk around the d*mn thing. There should be bikes leaning on one side and old tyres plus a greasy engine on the other. At least that's how my workspace is laid out.

Wiring looks pretty neat, good work.

Come on admit it!

You're not really using the soldering iron in that picture, just posing for the camera .

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I wasn't kidding about coming to Canada. I need serious help with my build, and I'm not getting answers. We've got lots of room. You'd get picked up at the airport in a nice Audi!!

Don't do it David !

Alas, in summer it is often over 30 c. plus humidity (today for example). Air conditioning in the car and house is nice. Winter around here is a bit on the cool side. I also keep a place several thousand km away where it never snows (in Canada too actually), but I don't get there often.
