Workshop update

The builders have started laying the blocks this week.

Starting to look like a building...

The steel framework was put up this week, now we just need some good, dry weather so the brickwork can be done.

Work is flooding in at the moment, and no sign of it slowing down. I can't wait to move into the new workshop!

The foundations are nearly finished

The concrete foundations are nearly finished.

Ground works for the workshop

January 2010. After nearly 2 years of planning, the ground works have started! There will be two workshop units built on the site.

New workshop plans

My workshop is on a small industrial estate in the countryside, currently I am in a 900 sq ft unit which is a good size but it is basically a large garden shed. This photo (taken summer 2009) shows where my new unit is being built. It is sad to see the trees going but more are being planted in other areas of the estate.

Take one plain and rather boring frame.

I thought I would start of my frame blog with one of my favourite frames I have made, Its a flat 3" wide obeche moulding. I admit it looks very boring at the moment, but it will soon start to look better...
