Hi all.

haven't posted for sometime due to other commitments and with getting myself out there to promote what we do. have to say that so far we have been doing pretty well. No major issues so far, although I'm still trying to find the time to teach myself how best to print onto latte mugs wthout distorting the images.
Just thought I would take the time to share some images of my new workshop that I'm currently building. 14' x 10' in case anyone is wondering.

Fantastic! Very impressive. Hopefully getting power won't be too much of an issue. Ideally you need to take it off a separate breaker from your consumer unit or if not possible then a properly installed fused spur just inside the house where your cable will come from. Obviously don't use a long extension lead!

It's 4x2 framing inc the roof with Kingspan insulation panels in the floor & roof. Walls will be rockwool insulation. There will be a permanent seperate feed from the main consumer unit. Did consider using sips panels but opted for the 4x2 framing for ease of feeing the mains & lighting circuts. total cost to date is in the region of £1600.00. Wood and kingspan from a local mill, with the french doors and window costing £65.00 for the 2 on ebay.

For latte mugs you need to arc the design, your supplier of blanks should be able to provide you with this

I have all the templates from Listawood. Problem is finding the time to play with the designs so that they fit. Have dabbled a bit with them but Listawoods template for the latte is not scaled to 100% so getting the scale just right is the stumbling block.

Once I get the time, I'm sure I'll get it spot on.

Still trying to convince the other half to let me build 10 x 20, (would be partitioned to be a shed 10x6 shed, and the rest for my bits)

We were advised when you run your power cable, run a spare, non connected cable at the same time,

If for any reason it ever suffers damage you can connect the second cable up without the issue of pulling through etc. Especially as we were looking at digging concrete to run cable in the first place.
