Show us you shed mate!

[John Fenna]

Welcome to my garage/canoegear store/cycle store/workshop/chaos area.
The cieling holds stores of wood for projects, the hanging shelving is from bread crates reclaimed from the river, tool storage is from a skipped dressing table, the workbench from a skipped door....
My wife did, within living memory, keep a car in here......

I also dry tents/tarps/bivis etc in here

Okay so who is a shed head?

Couldn't possibly show you my man space you would all be far too envious. Love the first photo by the way, black and white looks cool.

What's a little more envy Robin? We already love your job, your tools and you must have the most talented wife in the land!

C'mon mate, show us yer shed.

 

[Greg]

Hey John you forgot to mention that if you are 6ft or over you have to duck or be impaled on that wood that is stored in the rack on the ceiling!!
Don't I just know what I'm talking about!

 

[Singeblister]

What i want to know is , how do you keep them so tidy I would post a pic of mine but its just chaos in a box

Dam I forgot about that and i had a tidy up before you and grace came lol anyway I dont mind if you want to post a pic of it , my camera is playing up ,,,,
I will finish that project for you as well ,,, sorry i am taking so long

 

[DoctorSpoon]

OK, serious shed envy time ... here's where Robin hangs out:

In through the doors that open onto the track at the centre of that shot is his turning shop:

and in through the 'upstairs' doors in the end of the shed is a big space where Robin stores wood and uses when he's making outdoor furniture. (When we lived in the cottage next door we used it for teaching, but now we're down in the village we find the Village Hall is much better!)

Now that's a shed

I will finish that project for you as well ,,, sorry i am taking so long

I'm organising an exhibition to go in the metalwork room in the Millennium Galleries in Sheffield next February which would be good exposure for your work if you can find the time to get it made ... I would like to have some of your friction folders to display alongside the slip joints.

 

[Singeblister]

yes it will be done by then I temperd the spring the other day , then flirted on to another project I am just doing bits when i get chance but i will put myself on it more

This is my shop (shed). The older part was attached to a house that burned 30 years ago. The new part was built over the ruble filled basement.

Thickness plainer, scroll saw, band saw and sander.

48" pan for boiling wood and a small drill press for drilling box sides.

Assembly bench. cane, for lacing, hanging in corner.

You see a lot of stools setting around. As an old man I set down a lot.

The shop refrigerator is well stocked, and enjoyed by my visitors and myself (if I am not running power tools).

Stop by my shop any time, I will keep a cool one for you.

[DoctorSpoon]

now that would make an impressive addition to anyone's shed, but how many would make it home afterwards?

 

[weaver]

Nice shop Harmony! Is that a Hegner?

Show some of the boxes you make please.

Wish i were closer, we'd have a few cool ones and a long talk.

 

[Grooveski]

That's a lovely looking dulcimer Weaver!

 

[weaver]

Thank you sir! It was a kit, but we did a bit of extra work on it. My daughter did a lot of the sanding and picked out the design for the sound holes.

 

[Harmony]

Weaver,

No, it is a rbi Hawk.

I have a thread on this forum about my tine. Do a search for "tine box".

You never know, you may come west, I will keep a cool one for you.

Harmony

 

[weaver]

Ahh, yes i remember now. Beautiful work! Would love to spend some time with you if I ever get out West.

 

[Singeblister]

I love your shop fridge Harmony wish i had room for one

I expanded my shed empire last week with this little number.

Not pretty but does the job of storing the trailer roof when not in use and acting as shelter for the forge and anvil.
