Would you guys say there is anything i have missed. I understand that whilst doing the tail the learning curve will be massive as will the runs down to the local hardware store (Homebase or B&Q here in the uk). I have in the garage done the following:
Bought a garage heater and lay some carpet for the winter
Built 2 EAA Chpt1000 benches (still need to put the wheels on) and 1 x larger version to hold the bench tools and is basically a bench that can take some abuse with an MDF top. Storage iam still lacking but have so far installed bins on the wall so just need to get some racking i guess. I intend in storing alot if able in the lofters above the garage where i have put attic flooring in with pull down ladders.
In relation to the compressor, due the noise do people have these as far away from working area as possible and do you need to mount rubber pads on the legs as at the moment its metal vs concrete floor
I have attached some pics to help describe the layout any advice/criticism welcome as im a newbie with a willingness to crack on!
