Seeing Yamboleast again, made me think about that brilliant series. What a journey you have had since then to where you are now. Do you ever wonder, how your life would have been had you not of been hounded out of Scotland and stayed at Amboleast?
It was one hell of a time that's for sure! Sometimes I do but to be honest I wouldn't change a thing. It's times like those that drive you in certain directions through life and ultimately our experiences have landed us here. Also amboleast was bloody awesome 😅👌
Come such a long way from how it looked. Now just a man shed dream haha. Hats off Ash what you have achieved. So love the proper Old Skool tools. All the very best to you both
Amazing transformation!! Very inspiring to see. It took me many years before I got to building a workshop when we first moved to our farm and I regret not making one earlier. And it’s still a complete chaotic mess. 😂 It’s definitely one of the top priorities when building up a home especially one that’s a bit run down. Great work.
Thank you 😊 a clean workshop is a clean mind. I would have really struggled to do this whole project if I hadn't made that first. Not only a place to build things and keep tools organised but somewhere quiet to reflect and plan the next move. An essential for any creative person I believe
@@ash.pollard well said. i spent a year building a wooden boat and my mentor back then wouldn't let me leave the workshop until i had organized my tools and cleaned my workbench. the idea is that you should be met with a clean place to work first thing in the morning. i think it's time for me to seriousley clean my own workshop soon. 🙂
The transformation of the whole barn has been amazing!! It is truly a privilege to follow your and Marie's journey. Thank you for bringing me along!!!!
Hi Ash spotted the rope I gave you at Stratford upon Avon hanging on the back of the door .last time it made an appearance was a washing line at ambolease lol take care workshop looks great
Very cool. My only issue is that you people in the UK call a vehicle lift a “ramp”, haha. Other than that great video and nice bikes! Also not sure if this barn was built this way but in cold climates a lot of the farm houses are built to keep the animals (cows, pigs, etc.) in the lowest floor of the house. That way their body heat heats the entire house over the winter. Pretty cool I thought.
hahah It will always be a ramp to me 😅 That's interesting! Although, this barn has never had living accommodation upstairs before. It was originally a hay loft upstairs and then a stable in the concrete section where the workshop now is.
Thanks 👍 There's so many reasons I could give really but to narrow it down to one I would say to give my mind the freedom it needed. We both grew up in Leicester, England
I don't see much in the realm of equipment which demands much in the realm of electrical power need. Do you have plans for the implementation of various equipment, in your future which would need quite a bit of power? If so, what do you have up your sleeve in order to meet the demand? I've brainstormed many nights thinking of various manners and means whereby I could make my shop stand on it's own. Thinking about means other than a bank of batteries and the various ways to charge....I'm talking about some out of the box implementation which would and could support a small shop of various equipment. I have some ideas up my sleeve....I'd be interested in hearing what you might do.

I remember you showing us that room for the first time, amazing how much of a transformation you have made in a year.

Wow, Ash you definitely worked hard and many hours to get your Amazing workshop, Grand 👍👍😊😊💙❤️

Been a pleasure having you along for the ride dude 😊👍
WoW Ash, Great to see you settling in so well. Very impressed how you have set everything out.
Thanks buddy 👊 its coming together!
Hi Ash spotted the rope I gave you at Stratford upon Avon hanging on the back of the door .last time it made an appearance was a washing line at ambolease lol take care workshop looks great
Hahah yes! It's come in handy on many occasions 😁 love that rope 👌
Wow I remember it like that..how far you've come! Well done to you both 👍🏻
It's pretty shocking looking back at the old footage. Sometimes I forget how it was at the start!
You can tell you're from the UK when you hang nup your knives in the garage like a trophy
Didn't realise that was a UK thing, news to me 🤣
Real Mancave you have dude😎👊 sweet!
Haha thanks 😊 👍
WOW.. That's all I have to say.. good on ya bud
Thanks fella 👍
For power seeing as there's no sun in winter, what about wind a small wind turbine?
We had the same idea however weirdly in the deep winter when we would need it most there is pretty much zero wind! It's a strange place 😅

Nice space. I admire your vision and hard work. Two questions: Why did you move to Sweden and from where did you move?

Surely it will still charge even in winter?!
We get no direct sunlight at all on our land for around 3 months during winter 😊
💯GORGEOUS ✌🏽❤🇨🇦🙏
Just for the record - it's diesel powered 70% of the year....
The heater burns diesel. Power is solar 70% of the year...
@@ash.pollard Dude, I'm your patron... And you located in Sweden...70% diesel unfortunately...
I thought you meant the power is from diesel. fingers crossed once the second wood burner is in I'll be able to bring that number right down 🤞
