What ho shipmates,
I thought I would have a go at including a few pictures in a post for the first time.
This is a picture of my workshop which I built about two years ago. My plan was to create a sort of sheperds hut / railway carriage.
I am very happy with how it turned out but wish I had made it three times as big!
This picture shows a little cupboard I made on the outside to house a camvac dust extraction machine.
A few pictures of the interior;
This is a picture of my bandsaw, I have an incra mitre gauge which I keep on the front of the bandsaw by way of a homemade bracket. I don't have room for a table saw. In the background you can see the dust extraction ducting with various blast gates. Also a sneak glimpse of my competion entry on the bench (my shoe polish box).
Here is my planner. I made a base for it with storage underneath. The Scheppach base was very poor. I made the base a little taller so the top of the fence is level with the bandsaw table which provides useful support when sawing.
This is a picture of my rat. I have my router bits in the little cabinet on the right.
I came up with this idea of using an old bread box to house my radio / cd machine. I have installed a sky gnome so I can pipe sky sounds into the shed. This is handy for listening to the racing channel or any of the sky radio channels.
Above my planer is an old medicine box I found which I have turned into a special storage place for my chisels, one or two small planes and my sharpening stones etc.
Here is a quick look at the inside of the roof. The shelf runs all the way round the workshop and provides very useful storage. The green basket was kindly donated by Mr ASDA. I have a fine dust extractor next to this which fires up when I start the vac.
The workshop is only 10 x 8 ft and at times I can hardly swing a cat. This does however promote orderly working.
I hope this post is interesting.
Cheers, Esc.
