Like making stuff with wood or code. Based on the Northumberland coast on bluesky to see what nice interesting stuff people are up to 👀
Cut them short to take the magnets off then add a frame around to get the size back?

There's a big conduit going from the house to the workshop with the idea being if I need chunkier cable down the line I can push through a new one.

Yea they're metric. Most things are with a few things like road distances and speed in mph. Some wood dimensions are in metric but just converted so we get some not so nice round numbers in mm.

Thank you! Yea I have tried my best to follow people who are making neat stuff and not just posting US politics. Even with that I find myself having a scroll through who I follow and thinking "haven't seen anything from x in a while" to go to their feed and see loads of stuff I seemingly missed.

A few rough ideas scribbled down but the problem is I'm not yet fully sure on everything I want to do in there. Some woodworking for sure but also maybe a place for a 3D printer or CNC. And maybe a small electronics bench. I see lots of people doing lots of cool stuff and want to try it all 😅

Yea so from what I gathered when looking into it planning permission wise all I really needed to do was have a height under 2.5m & for building regs be under 15m² internal floor space. There are a few other points too which I noted at plans.northbayworkshop.co.uk#planning-per...

3 months ago I was made redundant. It has been fantastic as it gave me the time to build this but I start a new job tomorrow so expect progress to slow down.

Yep noticed the same came to the feed to see what people are making not what tools I should buy according to what I assume is chatGPT. Thankfully muting accounts is pretty easy 🤐

Cool you have the skills to attempt to make one. Scrolled back to your own attempt and feel like after another go or two you would have managed.

It's just under 15m² internal floor space which is the max I can get away with in the UK without needing building regs approval.

Nice bit of kit there. Puts my tiny slow cooker I use for pulled pork to shame.
