So, the first time I tried to build a guitar it was a nightmare! My garage was being used as a workshop, bike storage/workshop and general dumping ground for everything I've ever owned, it got to the stage I couldn't get in.
I also had problems with humidity, i.e. I made a lovely soundboard, took it into the house and it ended up looking like a pringle. Well I was hooked and decided that I would like to make guitars and not pringles and so set about making a small workshop for myself.
I installed a window, DPC on the floor, battened out the walls and floors, insulated everywhere and then boarded out with 18mm OSB on the walls, chipboard floor and plasterboard ceilings. I made some simple benches out of left over timber and an old dining room table, some shelving and a wee router table. It still needs a bit of work to finish off all the storage but it's great, small but great. I've also bought a hygrometer, a really small dehumidifier which runs all the time and a 2nd hand dehumidifier that I stick on as needed. Anyway hopefully I'll get a few build threads up in the future.
