I solved the tools trek problem by keeping a small tool box with screwdrivers, hammer, and craft knife in the house.
It lives at the bottom of a cupboard out of the way in a place approved by SWMBO.

Great idea! Toolbox now on Santa's list

I don't seem to be able to see the photos in the Bowater posts. All I get is an 'image' placeholder icon. Images from other posters appear ok . Is it just me or is anyone else getting the same?

Instead I opened the drawers underneath and put scrap ply on them and start again. Terrible to admit, I...

Completely, utterly, mind blowingly superb! The shed envy you felt, is nothing compared with mine right now - about an hour ago I was slightly nagged for using a kitchen worktop whilst a large piece of foamboard was gluing! Thanks Philip. The conservatory was a good interim position (for fifteen ye...

It's a nicer workshop than mine, and mine took me much longer than 3m 43s to build too. Thanks. If only! I suppose it took about a month to construct and insulate the main structure, then a couple of weeks to erect the shelves and workbenches and move everything in. So about six weeks' work overall...

Superb build Rik, I would feel very comfortable working in your shed, and very much at home with the organisation of tools, equipment and accessories neatly stashed away. You could easily start a trend here! I'll second what Philip said, that is one very comfortable looking work station Rik. Grant....

It's a little ripper.
I believe the first model to be built in the shed should be...
