discussion Cleaning up the man cave

[Alan 45]

Whilst waiting for my Stuka I thought this would be the best time to have a clean up and a tidy so while I was out picking up some stuff from the 99p shop I came across some vynal covering and thought hey that's perfect for a new cover on my bench

nicely done Alan,did you sit for a bit and just look at it ?,

maybe a nice thing working board , to keep it looking good for some time,

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you folks it is much better than it was I also got some lining paper so when I build I'll just tape a sheet of that on it to keep it clean also I've made a cutting board out of some card board to stop cutting into it

Si it better come I've payed for the @£?€$# , I got an email saying it should be with me by Thursday

I have an idea mate why not put a couple of shelves up to put your bits on , I can't do that but I do have tables and draws to put stuff into so it keeps nice and tidy
