Hello,
Thought it was about time I added some shed pics. Also thought I would add some pics of past projects I have done around the house.
So first the Shed.... Its a 7ft x 7ft shed, so not very big.
This shot shows the view into the door. Saws, squares and rulers hung up on the back wall. You will also spot the bench hook and shooting board hanging from the workmate. Bench down one side. You will also spot a small work surface at the back left above the extractor. This can be folded up and out of the way. Having said that it normally stays down and acts as a sharpening bench. I'm a waterstone man, the Charlesworth method.
More detail of the left side..
Record BS250 bandsaw with custom fence and cross cutting sled. Thanks to Jarviser for the guidence.
And finally the bench and the mess, sorry, storage undernear. Also spot the Veritas No6 which does a wonderfull job of flattening stock. The stanley No5 was my first plane.... but after some unsuccessfull sole flattening (banana!) now gets used as a scrub with a clifton blade. Tried to flatten the sole on the work mate :? on a glass shelf from B&Q (which wasn't flat), also using a 30cm ruler as a straight edge :?. It was flat ish, but then after about 4 weeks went to a lovely banana shape. Veritas isn't completely flat, but there is no way I am going to screw that up, so left it alone.... seems to do the job anyway!
Now for a couple of project pics. First is some shelves in the living room. Made these by glueing sheets of MDF together. They connect to the wall by sliding onto battens screwed into the wall. The shelf for the TV is curved so when we have guests the TV can be pulled out abit so you can see it from the chairs infront of the window.
And the bathroom. Did all this myself (with tiling help from the wife). Floor is heated. Used Iroko to do all the wood. Shelf above the sink is split into 3 sections, the middle one is fixed and the others lift up to give some hidden storage.
The bath panel was also a big job. Did this before the days of the bandsaw. It was made from a single 4x2 plank which was cut into veneers and book matched onto MDF. Making veneers with no bandsaw was a tricky one. Used my hand held circular saw
, which only has a 2inch depth of cut. So had to cut from both sides to make the veneers... lots of planing required to bring them all flat. Looked good in the end though.
So there you go. You may also have seen the ring box in my aviator, that was my first proper joint making project. Now just starting my competition entry, Oak Console table, which you can see a picture of in the intermediate submissions page.
Cheers
Darren
