Looking good and nice finish to it as well..

Can't help thinking there isn't enough sockets in there tho! :thinks:

Your sort of right. I took a bit of time planning the electrics and decided to put in the least I could get away with for the equipment I have. I didn't want rows of sockets everywhere. The position of some aren't quite right. I'm putting an extra socket under the consumer unit to correct my mistake, other than that, I have ample for my needs.

Regards

Craig

Looks secure,hope you have great ventilation mate. Must be very satisfying knowing from past experience what to build,where is usually dictated by needs,size also governed by needs and budget. Enjoy Craig very happy for you mate.

Looks great Craig, I might have put in another window but I guess that depends on the view and security. :thumbs::thumbs:

Looks the part to me. Windows are all very well but wall space can be so useful and there is the security aspect. Personally I find one cannot have too many sockets but particularly useful are ones in the roof cross beams so the trailing cables can be behind one when working on the bench.

Looks great i agree could have done with more sockets I always seem to run out, I know you will not use them all at the same time. How big is it

One day I may have a nice workshop, right that would be one day

Looking great Craig, never mind the extra sockets and windows, what that "shop" needs is some machinery and a lot of sawdust , chippings, and a good healthy mess, then it will be a "WORKshop"
Cheers
