Very nice work but how will you stop those little nuts bolt washer etc from finding their way underneath that workbench?
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

It's nearly there and my shipping container is now empty ! A bit more to go but it's close but more importantly the Tigger is back in it's propper home.

Let's face it people, he's built a hangar.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Cheers for the kind words folks, deep down I'm just looking forwards to getting rid of that dirty great shipping container that's been obstructing my drive for the last few months !

I don't know if it shows up on the pictures but the 'centre post' at the back of the garage isn't actually in the centre...

It's about 3" out of line, the centre posts at each side are even further out. However, the big news today is that the shipping container has gone forever  :dance:

I don't know if it shows up on the pictures but the 'centre post' at the back of the garage isn't actually in the centre...

Build another Pillar the other side of the sockets and put shelves across them.
