This is (most of) what I managed to get done today.
Thus far I have no idea about whether I’m going to put shelves or drawers or some combination of the two into these, nor about doors. I think I have a fair size piece of worktop left over from our barn conversion, but I can’t recall where I stored that at the moment. For the time being I’ve just put a table top that I made ages ago and then never used into place to allow me to get more stuff out of the way.
No, I have no idea how we came to have so many caulking guns either 😀
I wasn’t intending to use the red storage boxes once everything is reorganised, but I’m now thinking that I might. They came out of my father-in-law’s work van when he retired many years ago. They could be quite handy for keeping some stuff together on the shelves.
My plan is to leave a gap next to these two units as a space for me to sit and then make up another couple of units to go the other side.
In fact, assuming I have sufficient offcuts left over, I think there may be space for two more units after that along that wall, but that’s something to sort out another day. Tomorrow I’ll be happy if I can just get another two units into place and get more stuff out of the way. I still have a planer/thicknesser sitting on the floor that I want to get moved, for example. Fortunately my dad has borrowed my small 7×12 Chinese lathe so I don’t have to find space for that at the moment.
The other thing I’m pondering on is adding a kickboard. It’s tempting, as a way of stopping small items disappearing under the units if they’re dropped and I do have some spare (also from the barn conversion), but on the other hand if it gets wet it will just rot away and make a mess.
