I used to have an oil filed radiator in my shop until this year when I had a heat pump installed. It was an expensive way of heating a shop and power is set to be more expensive in the future than it has been. I dont mind if it gets hot fast though, with firewood which is relatively cheap I can...

Of course the question nowadays is, can you even get hold of a light bulb? I'm personally curious about the idea of dehumdifying, since the idea is to make a tight shell with controlled ventilation. I wonder if a sorption style dehumidifier would work, they can run at low temps. My notion is...

I wouldn't do anything water borne because it would surely freeze. I barely do any woodworking in winter time, a few days over the whole winter really, I haven't really done anything this winter that's woodworking related I think. So things would mostly be cold for long stretches of time. That's...

Not worried about working in cold if I get a wood stove that should bring the temps up quick. What I am worried about is how the equipment will fare.

Here's an updated photo of the shed, taken today I might have mentioned before, but I am thinking of casting a concrete floor slab in it, insulated slab of course. I am also thinking of adding insulation and sealing it up better and moving my woodworking shop into there and freeing the space...

Now I have a complete door at least Sorry about the blurry photo, mornings are getting dark this time of year. I still gotta make some adjustments though, the door frame isn't square. Doors are, the frame on the left side has gotten twisted, the stud itself that's the issue. Will have to do...

I didn't want to spend loads of money on temporary hinges, they feel beefy enough to me to last until I replace them with something better.

It can survive without gutters, I'll be adding those the very last. There's underground drainage that also helps. First door is up. I screwed some wood into the door opening to butt the door up against that to get it sitting correctly, then I screwed it in place. The door frame was made from...

A late, but larger update I have gotten some more shelving up and I also moved the old shelf that used to be in the shop over here (back wall), no point tossing it away. I got the boards up to cover the underside of the roof in the front Then I had to pull a **** load of boards on this...

Yeah that paint is popular all across the nordic countries

I'm sure I could add some later, if I find some cheap old windows. But its just a shed so low priority. Thanks for the kind words, I don't think I could do this professionally, I work far too slowly!

Not a problem here fortunately. The traditional paint is a very old type of paint called Falu Red, which dates back to the 1500s and is still popular today. It translates to english as mud paint, but I am not sure about that. It's rust as coloration with a mix of other minerals such as copper...

Been going slow, but this side's done now, well until it's time for the battens Sheet metal will be covered with boards, some gaps between them to allow ventilation. The list or moulding or whatever to call it, doesn't go all the way, but this is because it will be trimmed later when I fit...

Last night was a gardening day. First went to my parents and picked up the plants they planted from runners for us last year, must've been almost a hundred plants. And some free water barrels too Coffee break with some rhubarb crumble My parents old greenhouse, it's gonna get torn down...

I got some pieces to glue in the back to stiffen it sideways, as well as some shelves. But MDF is pretty heavy and lifting it on and off the table saw made me hold off on that,

OK finally got the miter station done, been a busy busy week... Still need to get some casters for it, some final sanding and varnishing before it's done. Casters where out of stock at my local supplier so I am improvising until further notice...

More intermission stuff, I haven't had a lot of time going forward on this project this week. I've mostly painted the main stand a few times with polyurethane to give it better water resistance and cut up parts for the wings so I can start assembling it soon and hopefully use it over the...

Got this far on the stand, going for a mobile stand with wings

It's supposed to use brushes, it's the forefather to the Dewalt 777 since Elu was bought by DW in the 90s, but when I was using it I was asking myself, is this really a brushed motor? It's as silent as an induction motor....

I bought a full sheet today of 19mm MDF (plywood was too expensive, 75€ for a 15mm sheet, 18mm construction was out of stock) and I am going to be doing some prep work, since I have a lot of cutting to be doing I decided it was time to finally buy a miter saw. And I found a decent one, an ELU...
