I needed some more room for a retro workbench so built a new top for the cupboard. Just needs a leg at the end by the door.

@Icky Just leave the door open and then screw it to the door, problem solved.

Then I would have the family pestering me all the time as they go past if I can't close the door @PhilC :D

Hmm...

Its hard to tell, but there looks to be a good diagonal 65" or more on that wall...if you know what I mean ;)

Maybe its time to ditch those other screens and the clock? :D

What happened to the idea of using that large outhouse for your retro stuff?

That will all be in time @stephen_usher. The new house is taking up a lot of my time as my major project at the moment and that outhouse won’t be finished for a while so hence needing the desk space.

Ah, I understand.

Whilst talking about the house the old Bakelite transformer and bell back here viewtopic.php?p=77754#p77754 was an interesting project in the end. I disconnected the old transformer from the mains and bell and replaced with an in consumer unit transformer. I left the old one in situ as it’s a period feature but removed the horrible switch.

Anyway upshot is my electric bill went down ~£4 a week according to the smart meter by swapping out the old transformer.
