Nice shed.

Wish I could post about my current project but it is "secret squirrel business". I am sure there are folk on here that could provide good input (that I need) but I have been asked to keep mum.

No doubt, with my luck, there will be someone on here with some connection to where it is going.

At this stage reveal is mid September.

A mate has a lathe and geared drill press and band saw going up the back so I get play around with them too. A hoist will go in eventually. A/c and I'll be a happy   grey gnome

Must be the week for shoe racks.
Astrid made one last weekend for inside the wardrobe.
She angled hers, so she can slip her feet straight in.
Its got 2 levels.... she's a little bit clevererererer than me.
She also has her own woodworking workshop area as well.
Its separate to my shed of course.  :D

about 1200mm long, 200mm wide and about 400mm high...

i had the timber already, but got the piping, flanges and castors from the big green shed...

gave the timber three coats of this stuff, because i had it left over from another project...

That you're the only one who's allowed to ??? ;D

Any particular reason that you went with the solid upright at one end & the post at the other, rather than both the same ???

If I tried it, I would kill myself… ;)

No real reason, other than something a bit different…

Not me.... but Astrid.

The only things i've ever made with wood looked worse than Homer Simpson's spice rack.

She is currently building a robe and combined desk unit for the third bedroom.

This is the sort of work she's been doing so far.

The work is square.... my phone camera makes it look like the house of mirrors.
