Hello

Hello Everyone,

First time posting, in fact on any forum :), and after some browsing it was time to get involved.

I have found the various workshop, and of course house builds very helpful and as I'm in the process of a new studio build myself and I thought it would be good to share. I work with wood professionally as a furniture conservator- restorer, running a business in London. About 4 years ago I built a small studio in the garden as a base for site projects and to have a workspace with an easy commute. Now I'm looking at building another one for the other half of the business (and life!), which will be for works of art, books paper and framing.

Look forward to sharing

Mark

Welcome Mark

Great name you’ve got there.

Look forward to seeing some of your work and I imagine you will be able to help a lot of us here with the element that so many of us struggle with, finishing...!
Cheers

Thanks Mark!
Always happy to, dealing with gnarly old surfaces is a speciality and there's always a battle to make some material look like something else!

Granted, he hasn't posted anything, or even logged into his account since 2017, but it's still an Adrian!
