New workshop for 2020

[Sheptonphil]

That’s great patioing mate. Looks very modernist!

Thanks, condition of my workshop was an extended width full length patio. I was never going to get away with it not happening.

The patio is done, back to the workshop soon, after building the planters .
Bit of a hicup with the door, I forgot to add glazing bars to the timber order, so bottom door is done, waiting to finish top door.

From this

To this. One happy wife.

Still slogging away with the drawers.

Now up to twenty three fitted and working well.

Twelve more kits made

Assembled ready for sanding and fitting tomorrow.

 

[Sheptonphil]

35 and counting!

800mm ones and seven on the left side to do

 

[Sheptonphil]

800mm drawers made and fitted along with a keyboard slide out shelf for the CNC, and then on to the drawer fronts,

Twelve more fronts already made and ready to fit on the next wet day. Unfortunately, garden takes precedence for another week or two and I can only get work detail signed off if it’s too wet to work outside :?

 

[Sheptonphil]

Well, Thursday was wet again so I had the opportunity to finish the right side

Coming together nicely.

 

[Westwood]

Looking good there, guess you'll need a numbered guide to remember what's in each drawer.....

 

[Trigs]

Cracking project, well done

Going to be a guessing game for a while I think. :?

Thanks, it’s been a bit longer than I had planned in making them, but it looks half decent and will give an enormous storage capacity, so all in all worth the extra effort.

 

[MikeG.]

Wood racks. That's I want to see. Lots and lots of wood racks.

Hang in there Mike, they’re planned for above the drawer storage for lengths of timber stock and a sheet material rack to the right of the lathe.

Under the lathe will be a rack for turning blanks. I’ve ‘acquired’ a good few 12” discs of exotics for turning along with some square stock.

Oh, and an external wood store to be built outside the back door against the boundary wall. Should be able to get a nine ft by three ft store, six feet tall out there, but that may not be till spring.

Wow Phil you've been busy! Looking fantastic! I have plans for simething like that for storage but we'll see how long it takes

Thanks, it‘s been too hot to work outside yesterday and today, so made the last seven drawers and fitted them in the shelved units on the left. The angled one was a bit trickier to work out, but finally got it. The drawer fronts for these are also made, just waiting for the varnish to dry so I can fit them.

The glazing bar profile wood is here, so will also finish off the stable door, and hopefully get that hung this weekend. Too hot, too wet, this is excellent weather for keeping away from the garden.

 

[Sheptonphil]

Left side drawers finished.

Started bringing up boxes of hand tools from storage in the garage and loading the drawers. The drawers on both sides just eat the tools up May have made too many.

Hinging and adding the door furniture to the stable door next, ready for hanging at the weekend if it’s dry enough.

 

[Sheptonphil]

Finishing the trim on the door And fitted the hardwood weather board to the opening. Double glazed panels ordered for the top door. First fit is looking good, door stop to fit tomorrow then all the door furniture, remove the whole lot, stain the door and completely refit.

what finish for the door? I was proposing antique pine Sadolin Classic with a couple of coats of Sadolin extra on top. is there a better stain finish for new wood?

 

[Inspector]

Can I ask how you detail the doors so wind and water doesn't get in between the upper and lower doors?

the top of the bottom door has a rebate approx half thickness of door. In the rebate, there is a neoprene seal let into a channel.

The bottom of the top half has the mirror rebate. See pic two, when closed, the seal is compressed by the top door, no draught.

When fitted, there will be a horizontal weather bar on the lower face of the top door as a drip strip for run off. Similarly, the bottom door is rebated over the threshold weatherboard, sealed on the horizontal seal strip. There will also be a weather bar at the bottom face lower door to pass water on to the slope of the weatherboard.

 

[Inspector]

Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Sheptonphil]

Both door weatherboards fitted, four coats of preservative and the doorstop attached. Bolts to inside to join the doors together and one to hold the lower one closed when top open. Just the glass panels and lock to fit when they turn up on Monday.
Cleats have been cut and screwed to the right hand wall ready for the tool and wood racks.

Before, total waste of space with the shed I inherited with the house in January

And now.

Is essence, the build is complete, it’s now just the internal fitting out, dust extraction system, and refurbing the workbench with a new top, dogs and a couple of features I’m working on. Will post a tour when all the outfitting is complete and the tools and wood stock have all been allocated space.

Doing the first couple of jobs in there so far for the house, floating shelves from scaffold plank for the Mrs‘s relax room and stripping, repairing and refinishing a coffee table, this is a fantastic workspace. Light, spacious, clean, comfortable and bright, all the tools to hand and stored where I can find them. a really inspiring working space which will only get better as it evolves. I’ve been told my first project should be a huge wall clock, SHMBO recons I lose all track of time when I’m in there and really ought to just make room for a bed in there as well

think I'd get me mates round for a barby after the pour......
Prep everything and just hit it......2 lecky mixers an 6 guys will knock it of easy....
a few sheets of 20mm ply in the high traffic areas, with plastic on top and below...this will protect the ply so u can use it for shelving or cupboard etc.....
sounds to me do the prep one weekend and then get going.....
tell the neighbours what ur doing.....so no surprises....
