I like it. Dark themes are not my first choice, but I like the crisp, clean lines.  :thumbup:

workshop in the back yard
« on: February 26, 2017, 10:53:36 AM »
I've been building me a workshop in the back yard, Lisa got it for me :smitten: Cost her £300 ($375)

Built it on my own, its 10ft x 6ft the hardest part was putting the roof on!

They come premade, flat packed.

Here are a few pictures

Looks great, Bro! I'd suggest some varnish to help protect, it you don't have any on it already.

Nice looking vice.  :thumbup:

You may already know about this YouTube channel that Paul Sellers has, but just in-case that you don't, his link is below. He has lots of great woodworking videos, including a whole series on building a workbench.

Heres The bench front and back.


I added 2 2x3 too each end, on the top at the back I added 2 more 2x3 that can be removed to make a tool well..

The top I used reclaimed builders planks


Lisa got me this electric saw made life so much easier  :thumbup:


I also put this up the other day, keep it a bit tidy ..

Good looking bench-top table saw Les.  :thumbup:

It's a slippery slope Les! No matter how many tools you have, you'll always need more!  laughing7

I didnt mention, I did have all these tools before, maybe more, but my work shop was broken into and all my tools were stolen.

I have the money from my hosting company now to replace them.. so why not.... and I can make lots of new saw dust lol

That table saw looks really nice!!! If you keep buying tools you'll need to move into it cause you'll spend all of your money. LOL

That's not the way this woodworking hobby works Les... first you build the shed, then you fill it up with all those nice tools, and then you build a bigger shed and start all over again.  laughing7
