Finally in the New Studio!

[@RMCRetro]

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses Dan. It's a good sized space!

[@RetroRecollections]

I’m excited about it for sure! 👍🏻

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks for watching! I'm finally in and looking forward to new adventures in my new studio. Looking for recommendations and advice from anyone who had untaken a similar task such as kitting out a new space for this purpose.

Im currently in the middle of refurbing my garage, to get some insulation, and mainly get a better studio area. looks like we are doing the same ideas here, best of luck.

[@RetroRecollections]

Yeah! Let me know if you find any good suppliers etc lol

[@R_T_Ralph]

@@RetroRecollections Im getting Kitchen bases from b&q, they are ok for what i need, and im insulating with some stuff i borrowed from work. free things are always best.

A bit of work ahead in the conversion of the new space. But it really makes a difference to finally have a place you can set up and use for a single purpose. I'm sure you'll have many a plesent hour wiling away in front of that large TV playing a good old Commodore or Amstrad title while sinking confortably into that old leather sofa (after your filming for the day is done of course). I wish you luck with it ;)

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks! The beauty of it is that the space is useable so any improvements can be done gradually. Must get the electrics sorted first though.

[@Wallygjs]

It's definitely a mini RMC. Look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

[@RetroRecollections]

Well that's an awesome compliment! Thank you!

[@MrNicholas1169]

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks Tim!

[@retrobaz8620]

Great to see your new space! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

[@RetroRecollections]

Cheers Baz, me too! 😆

I quite like the worn patina of that floor.

[@RetroRecollections]

Yeah the floor is solid, I like the idea of those tiles though :)

[@TheRetroHourPodcast]

Looking good dan!

[@RetroRecollections]

Cheers! 👍🏻

Looks like a fun project ahead. I would seriously consider kingspan on the walls, floor and maybe even take down that ceiling and insulate the roof. If it were me, I'd also out up a stud wall between the garage door support and your area, also insulated, with a door in it. Then you would have a cosy room even in winter and cool in the summer. For the garage door seal, there's a good video on 8t by another youtuber call new Brit workshop

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks for the tips. I am tempted to put in a stud wall at some point for those very reasons. I can't do anything with the ceiling as there is a flat above the garage, so no roof to insulate. I will be getting some quotes and some options soon regarding the walls. I like the idea of just painting the breeze blocks and maybe trunking the electrics, leaving a more industrial look but sealing up all the holes etc. I'll check out that channel regarding the garage door cheers.

Great to see you back fella!

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks, it is nice to be back 👍🏻

[@lassie6]

Hey wow man, not bad set!!!

[@RetroRecollections]

Thanks, it is getting there 😀

[@inpurgatory]

With regards to the powerline, you can also get powerline adaptors that have a socket passthrough so the electric socket is still useable

Typical UK garage, you can store everything apart from the car :D
