A little while back, inspired by the colour scheme in the background of a Paul Sellers video, I repainted the back wall of my workshop. The colour I chose – a little different to Paul Seller’s scheme – was a very dark green, in the grey-green spectrum, from B&Q’s Valspar range, called Peacoat.<\/p>\n

However, I wasn’t entirely happy with how it was looking. For one thing it’s too dark. And for another, it’s not grey enough! So I went back to B&Q, and ordered some more sample pots. I find them a cheap and useful way of testing colours in situ. And sometimes the little pots are all I need.<\/p>\n

New colour on the back wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new colour is called ‘Campground’, and I reckon it’s perfect. The single little \u00a33 sample pot \u00a0was almost enough for the job! I also bought a pot of a pale creamy beige, called ‘Lark Song’, for painting any more storage units or cabinetry.<\/p>\n

I added six spade-bit storage holes to my router bit doodad, and a couple of dowel pegs, one on the saw-rack, for ear-defenders, and the other just below the router bits, for safety-goggles and face-masks.<\/p>\n

I got my new planes – the four I’ve currently restored are all in the saw-rack at present – out of the cardboard box they were in when I bought them (put that in the recycling bin!). It’s nice to gloat over them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
