In Australia we call our workshop’s sheds… so here’s me shed!
Its a 40’x18.5’ area(740sqft) with a concrete floor and 240v power, I’ve just started to line it with ply board and insulation to help lower the summer temps in there it hits 130°f without the aircon(swampy type)operating.
My shed is dedicated to woodwork, no cars in here :)

Hi Harry,

You have a wonderful shop. It is well organized and spacious. I like the cabinets that you have put in the shop. They add a nice touch of both form and function to your work environment. It does look like you have enough wood on hand to complete a project or two.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shop (shed). To me ‘shed’ sounds is a place to store stuff, like lumber. A ‘shop’ is a place to work in. I will have to get use to the use of that word when used by you aussies.

Thanks guys,
Scott, those photo’s are deceiving its not really spacious… one’s shed(err workshop!)can never be to big. Most of that wood has gone and been restocked a couple times since that pic was taken.

Grumpy, Timbecon how’d you guess that… wasn’t the tacky orange colour was it!

HallTree, yep weird isnt it, over here if you call your shed a workshop you get strange looks.

I’ve done some moving and reshuffling in my workshop(now you got me saying it)I’ll put up some newer pictures soon.

Hi Harry

Great looking shed and plenty of nice tools to work with. You are my kind of guy. Everything has a place and everything in its place. Thank you for posting.

God Bless
