How to maximise storage space

[Jason]

Workshop community update #32

Hi all,

Thanks again for joining the community. I hope you’re enjoying Workshop and finding plenty of useful information, advice and inspiration from other members. Remember that this is your workshop, so please let me know how we can make the site even more useful to you.

I’m also always keen to see your real-life workshop at home. Space is precious in most houses these days, so many of us don’t have much room that we can devote to a workshop.

Maximising storage space and keeping our garage or workshop tidy and organised has been a popular topic since we’ve kicked off the site. I’ve posted some more tips today and would love for you to share your thoughts.

Please also join in the latest Workshop poll that asks whether you make your bed every day. I hope the poll triggers some spirited debate! Earlier in the week our previous poll found more Workshop members preferred dogs to cats, but cat lovers can feel free to continue to defend their beloved moggies.

Some of the other popular posts from the past seven days included:

• New member @Focusmarine got some great tips for removing old rusty screws from his boat

• Nostalgic Workshop members shared images of once common household objects that have now all-but disappeared from our homes

• A fabulous concrete table project from @Andadams

• @stupidfish shared an exciting new measuring product that could make the humble tape measure redundant

• @Isobel pointed out that breeze blocks are making a (un)welcome return

• Members shared tasty homemade pasta sauce recipes for @aly

• Advice for @Kim about budgeting for a new house build

• Help with choosing a blueberry bush.

Many thanks to Workshop members who have also shared Gallery photos in recent weeks. Feel free to share images of projects that you admire or inspire you, as well as showing off your own creations.

Make sure you check out the brand new @She_Skills shed, beautiful use of concrete in a kitchen and an outdoor fiireplace area, plus a gorgeous timber sliding door.  

Thanks again to all contributors to Workshop over the past week. We really appreciate you sharing your projects, experiences and knowledge. Our top contributors over the past seven days were @Isobel, @MartyH, @Kermit, @Andy_Mann and @RenoQueen. Thanks for your fantastic contribution to the Workshop community.
