Title: Revamped Studio
Post by: Barnacle Bay on January 13, 2014, 12:29:19 PM
I am very pleased to announce that after a hectic weekend our studio revamp is finished  :)

What it used to look like (a bit cluttered  :-[ ):

And now.... Ta Dah!

It even comes with a fridge with Bud in it   :D

Hope you likes it.

Thanks Shirley, I'm really super happy, so much space and what is out of view is that it goes off another metre to the right which will take the potters wheel which has been in storage for yonks, and enough space for a super big kiln (still saving up for that), so I must remember to do the lotto  :D

Kaylee - it won't stay that tidy for long but I will try to keep it tidy  ;)

Well done. If you think that is clutter I would be ashamed to show you my area when I am doing a project.     :D

Since I only have about 100th of that space, I'm really jealous but I do have an office chair on castors so that I can scoot back quickly if I drop a marble in my lap    :o  :o  :o

Bob - I know what you mean  ;)

Pat -  I tried my office chair with wheels, but I was wasting too much time scooting round & round - a bit like a fair ground ride far too much fun I was having on it, plus my beer kept spilling  :D :D

Ah... the joy of space, my work bench is like the bottom of a baby's pram and the rest of the work shop is a minefield.

What do you do about ventilation?

Totally agree with you - space is very creative esp being organised as it opens up your mind  ;)

Hi Andy, ventilation is not a problem thankfully in this area 4 x 3.5 mtrs).   I have 3 windows plus 2 doors. When working on the torch, I open 2 top openers which gives a good flow of air that wisps any noxious nasties well out - tried and proven over the past 2 years, and non of my carbon dectors has sounded yet.  I have had it all approved by a registered gas engineer (for insurance purposes) and he was more than happy with the setup after running full diagnostic tests including ventilation.  All appliances although not really needed have been PAT Tested.


Back to play!

Lovely, tidy space!  I must try and clear mine out.  We had 19 of us for Boxing day lunch, and to fit everyone in, and have room to keep all the food handy etc we had to put LOADS of stuff in my workshop, and it's still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(  One day.................. ::)

Enjoy your lovely space.

Just to add - if it wasn't for the folks on here - I don't think this would have ever happened, as I had serious studio envy looking at all the shedios and one caravanastudio  ;)

Funny thing, since it has been finished, everytime I go into our studio all I can do is sneeeeeeze - aaaa-chooooo!  It has been really cleaned and no dust about, and noo furry animals allowed - is it nerves as I may have to actually make some really special things  :-\  ???  :D

Are you perhaps reacting to the new paint or varnish on a door.
