Work Space

No, but I have a hat (now ) {seemily} .

 

I use old scrap carpet from flooring jobs which I change possibly every few years. It keeps the place warmer than plain concrete. I have around a 50amp 240v supply to my workshop from the house which I run strip lights, a compressor 2 1/2hp, medium MIGwelder, Tig welder and various heaters electric/diesel. I also have an air assisted bike bench which gets used for everything although I generally use it manually. I use an overhead hot air central heating which is a chinese camper van heater. In the back room I have kitchen worktops all way round with pillar drill and various other equipment. Does that paint an idea?

 

My brother found for me in an old garage a thick (1cm) rubber carpet. Colder than real carpet, weight a ton, but perfect for a workshop.

 

Strangely enough I use it manually mostly as it’s quicker than waiting for the compressor to build up. I got it with the air spec in case I ever get another commercial workshop.
As for welding on carpet get an old wool one from the skip at a carpet showroom for free, it doesn’t melt just singes. Get patterned
