Operation Clean The Studio

[CJ57]

Thanks Lydia, you inspired me or OH to paint, rejig the benches and buy a stand for the rolling mill with storage. I even have floor space now

Ooh I like Caroline! I really *must* get a proper grown-up's torch and bench polisher! Must be the only jewellery maker with a fear of fire.

Wallace, I'll stick up some more pics tomorrow. I wish I could show how even if it is boiling outside, it is miraculously sub-zero within! People come in to cool off! :-)

Well I couldn't cope with some of the torches being spoken about recently Lydia, as long as I can just turn it on and it does the job that's ok, if I have to fiddle with oxygen and propane then that's a different matter. And if I try using the biggest burner I have then the noise and the flame scare the bejesus out of me!!

The studio looks amazing Lydia! Yours too Caroline.

I'm hoping I get to do my home workspace (which is just the tiny bedroom in our housewreck) at the end of this year. This is the first time I've lived anywhere I can put shelves up and stuff on the walls, so I'm excitedly planning...

Lydia, what did you use to hang the hammers on the wall?

I have serious workshop envy. I need more room!

I have serious workshop envy. I need more room!

Mine is tiny hence the need to take 4 photos, one from outside! It's about 6.5 ft x 8 ft. Lots of wall cupboards and drawers and the need to get the layout right. We got a cabin for mutli use but it's too nice and tranquil a space to be a workshop so I have a new bench sitting out there and I've revamped my workshop in the house :/ never pleased, that's what workshop envy does
