Potting shed with workbench area by British Red, on Flickr

inheritance or hard work?

looks pretty roomy, you could do with a few more tools in there!

 

[welchyd1]

My man space and latest project. Ignore the mess and feel free to take the **** if I've left anything out.
And yes that is a glitter ball on the ceiling.

You decide - this was how it looked a year ago

This is my 'shed' there's a full width workshop at the back, and a store room, playroom, and office upstairs. Built it myself, and broke both arms falling off the roof. But it is worth it. So, so worth it.

Wow nick I truly love that, did you have any building plans?
and might you consider sharing it with me so I could analyze them and use it as an inspiration, for something I am currently creating, ( okay its a bit bigger, like 3 to 4 times)
Yours sincerely Ruud

I dunno, both?

It's certianly an impressive restoration/coversion though. Would you eve consider building a forge? If I had the opportunity to own large ammounts of space I'd love something like that, and/or a smoker! kippers! yuum!

 

[British Red]

Not going to put a forge in that barn. One of the others has a chimney so would be much more suitable. A colc smoker is certainly on the cards for the future

I wish I could link it but unfortunately I cain't. However if you look on Amazon you'll find a book by Monte Burch titled Building Small Barns , Sheds and Shelters. I cain't remember if that exact building is in it but that's the general size and type construction of most of the garages/workshops/barns in it. It also has plans for such projects as chicken houses and goat barns.

 

[grey-array]

Superb ^^
I'm gonna give that a look

I teach CDT so have access to Metal Lathe, wood lathes, tools, circular saws etc. So only do minor repairs in the garage, it's more of a store for canoe and bikes.

The metal lathe is the most handy machine for metalwork, easy to make a bush or tool. The circular saw is the best woodwork tool/machine.

I'm gonna be building a shed in the new year; nothing as magnificent as some of these, it's going to be a little rustic affair with a grass/flower roof, a bit of a verandah and hopefully a little log burner in it; a bit of space for me, some tools, a workbench and my dog! It's also going to have a nestbox or two, and little bits for insects to hibernate in if I can sort it.

I've got this fantastic Luoman (made in Finland) summer house/shed!! The only problem is.... It's full of kids stuff and junk. Also, not as secure as the house, so I dont know how happy I would be putting knives/axes in there... However, when the kids are older, and the wife makes me live in there, whilst she and her 21 year old brazilian toyboy are living in the house and wearing my expensive underwear, I will move into said shed/summerhouse.. And will install a wood burner and a hammock!

[grey-array]
