Workshop Updates

My workshop is coming together. I have the walls painted and have started organizing. The landlord has a lot of old hand tools and some workbenches they are letting me use while I rent the space, which will help a lot. I’m still waiting on the electrician to replace the lights and add some outlets on the wall. The bathroom that is off the back of my workshop will be closed off (and opened to another space in the building), which will give me more wall space in the workshop, but a slightly longer walk to the bathroom. Overall I think I’m in pretty good shape. Tomorrow I’ll bring some of my tools over and start working on making a Danish Cord Bench from Oak (assuming I can grab some oak tomorrow am).

The weather will turn cold this weekend, so I’ll get to see how well the heat in the shop works. It has been staying at 15C (around 60F) which is a pleasant temperature for working. However it hasn’t really been that cold yet.

Painted and somewhat organized workshop. I’ll need to add tool storage on the left wall. Hoagie is sleeping on his bed under the workbench on the front wall.
Rear of workshop. The door at the back to the bathroom will be removed and the hole covered up. I’ll rearrange the shelves on the left once the door is removed and the wall is patched.
Badplats Stockekvarn (Stockekvarn swimming area) on the way from our apartment to Rottne (where my workshop is located). I’ve been stopping there in the morning to let Hoagie get out and run a bit. Hoagie loves running in the sand on the (small) beach.
