    In which case, I will have to pass. Not keen on taking on more kids, they tend to work out expensive. You seem to be constantly paying out with them
    I am looking for something dependable, not temperamental and good bodywork. Can't afford a new model so will have to go used. Low running costs, a must.

    On another shed note: plans for my 2 storey garage have been submitted.
    (I've just bored the pants off Step83).

    Oh you smooth talker you :D

    Its all good! you gave me some good ideas none the less. WS we all gave workshop envy over yours, could probably fit all of ours inside your one.

    Quite obviously, there's nothing wrong with her.

    Oxo, Would you separate? Not interested in the kids but may take the wife off your hands, depending on condition obviously and perhaps a road test.
    Is she in original condition or has had any work done? How many owners, miles on clock etc?

    Good old Viz.

    Job lot I'm afraid, no breaking or split lots. No work done, about like a midlife ford focus but the combustabilty of a Vauxhall Zafira or ecoboost fiesta. Strong hand needed at times. Very loving the rest. PS she,s seen this and currently in stitches.

    Where are the stitches (asking for a friend)

    When Pinno talks about looking for a 'porker' he doesn't mean...no... surely not?

    A mitre saw is highly beneficial to having x number of posts the right height. Better than trimming continuously when your post starts @900mm and then gets down to elf height.
    If you haven't got one, speak to a friendly joiner who can also cut your tops etc with a bench saw, all lovely and neat.
    Then all you have to do is screw it together.

    When I did that bus to motor home conversion, I planned it all and got a joiner to cut all the large pieces of MDF. What a difference and he also picked up flaws in my plans.

    If you pm me an email address, i'll show you how I planned it on Excel of all things.


    I have a mitre and a compound chop saw, along with a jigsaw and circular saw handy for me one of the default sizes for the timber is 1200, the next is 2400.
    Height wise 850/900 is about what I'm aiming for I have a bottom box for a smaller tool trolley which is about 700mm high so i will be making it so it can roll under then the top box on top.
    I shall ping you a message shortly

    Should be, although I generally use 4*2" framing timber for most jobs as it's readily available and just as cheap.

    Top deck on mine above is single 32mm ply. It's plenty strong enough for what I do, but in reality is a little soft and easily marked. Am considering putting a hardwood skin on top

    I'll slap some some hardwood ply on for now, I wont glue the panels together just bolt them so I can either flip or replace with something else if needed
    All of the tools you have mentioned above are great tools for cutting any kind of material. I have recently bought band saw in budget and it is proving greatly helpful for me.
