429 forum posts 268 photos	For the last 9 years, my workshop consisted of a kitchen table in a one bedroom London flat. Now, after retiring to the Kent coast, I have my dream come true, my own dedicated workshop. A former recording studio, it has plenty of power outlets and is warm and dry. The machine bench- The fitting bench (8 foot long)- I have left one wall free. I'm going to install a small sink and drainer here- It is still a novelty to me to be able to work any time of day and not have to clear everything up before dinner. The other half is quite pleased as well - no more swarf in the kitchen!

When I moved out I moved into a small flat and all my equipment needed to be downsized (Cowells machines). Sometime this year I'll be moving back into a new house with a 17 foot square garage. I can't wait! I certainly won't miss having to clean up every day!
