I'm a bit of a hoarder which I think can be very handy in this hobby and especially when you try and do everything to the tightest budget possible. So I was very pleased when a big pile of unused wood and chipboard landed in my direction (Having a workshop on an industrial estate means access quite often to the "waste" from other businesses who would rather give it to me than pay to have it binned).
Having gained this latest hoard I set to work creating a storage solution for some of the other loot. Below is the result - before and after the shelves and electricals.
I am pleased to say that everything you see in the pictures that is not an actual tool has been acquired from people throwing them out. That includes the drawers, workbenches, posts, materials, sockets, bins, lamps etc. Total cost so far for what is in the pics is £9.80 worth of cable and connectors to wire it all in.
