Where to build?

You need a comfortable warm and dry workplace with a good workbench. The box room or study is ideal  - I don't fancy being relegated to the garden shed, plus not a great environment for instrument building.

So ideally you have:

• A nice warm room
• A medium workbench screwed to the wall - by far the most important tool is a stable work area
• Good lighting
• A dehumidifier for key stages in the construction where a drier atmosphere is needed
• An understanding partner
• Finally - some background ambience to help the hours pass easily - Planet Rock is my choice!
