Workshop: organising, painting, etc.

I finally moved an old set of shelves I got off Freecycle a while ago into the corner of the workshop. They were very tatty, so I’ve roughly sanded them, and painted them a creamy beige colour.

To make space I had to remove two old decrepit shelves that I’m assuming Clive put up, along the left wall. I had a spillage of paint, visible on the floor in front of the shelves. I worked fast and slapdash, so both the rear wall, at right, and the floor, will need touching up.

Shelves
The new old shelves after two coats of paint.

I’ve had to move a knackered old table outside, and it’s pouring with rain. Well, hey-ho, it’ll have to sit there for a bit until I can create enough space to move it back in!

Shelves
Three more adjustable shelves, also painted.

All of this has provided me with an opportunity to clear up and reorganise a bit. Well, it will do. At present the workshop is one almighty mess, with everything temporarily moved aside so I could get the shelves in and paint them, etc.

Wardrobe
The wardrobe, with the chest part at right.

There’s also the bottom part of a wardrobe, which I might use as a chest for storing power-tools, to keep them protected from all the dust. But I’ll have to make a top for it, poss from scraps of what was formerly the top section of the same wardrobe, which I dismantled. We kept the mirrored door. We’ll find somewhere to put that!
