It's been a big job and there are still things that need doing but we are thrilled to say that The Barn is now up and running as a workshop. It was great to re purpose items we discovered in our outbuildings such as a door and solid workbench with a heavy duty vice fitted.
Our first alteration to the barn was to build a divider wall at the back so as we could have a storage room and somewhere to fit a freezer. We used the lovely old wood door to give access to this "new room". When we had this in place it made it a whole lot easier to sort out and make shelves for all the wood turning equipment and tools. We painted the walls, sealed the floor and unpacked endless boxes. There are storage units for the wood and new cupboards and work surfaces.
The task was more difficult when the space you are trying to build needs a workshop to make to it!
A brand new larger bandsaw needed setting up so as we could use it to help us for the build.

Finally time to enjoy some Wood Turnery at the Lathe
Our neighbours keep bees, so a few sticks and holders to start with for these delightful real bees wax candles.
So we now both have our place to work on our creative craft once more.
We are so excited to be bringing our work to you this year from our Hillside Cottage Studios
