Carpentry workshop

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

Over the last week I've had a massive clean out, a van of boxes and rubbish have gone and I've pulled my 3 cars out from under my carport/garage and I am looking at moving them on.

I am in the process of popping some old gates onto the front of the car port and securing them (stage 1)

Some pics:

So, I'm gong to have some space eventually, but just the garage for now.

Part of my plans include building a raised border, decking, clay oven/bbq area, log cabin for my office at the other end of the garage. Remove the roof from the garage, build and fit a new one with wooden walls, then convert the carport + build a porch.

Its all woodwork and I'm new to it all.

Anyone any recommendations on how to use the garage space for the best effect and what kinds of investments in tools would be wise?

I've got a 1200w hammer drill + masonry bits, although it needs cleaning as its leaked oil everywhere, and 2 cordless drills of different brands but currently can't find the chargers

Think I've got the level too, some basic chisels (which I really need to learn to use properly). I inherited some things but either have no idea how to use them or they need some work.

hand held circular saw, very basic old model with a thick blade, does variable angles and cuts to about 3cm.

Couple of hand held jigsaws, manual saws of different types.

Think there's a hand held power stapler of some sort too, various hammers etc.

I really need to get storage sorted, do an inventory etc but was looking for some inspiration on how to lay it out Plus, need some good experience in getting the most of what I do have
