Episode #1 ... Kens Shed.

Over the next what ever time it takes I am endeavouring to visit and video 1001 sheds in Australia… I feel confident that there are at least that many sheds in my local area.. but as We are also planning the Torque Workcentre World Tour for April… now don't get all excited … this tour will start in Northern New South Wales here in Australia [mainly along the north coast …...and continue north into the Queensland towns of Bundaberg and Maryborough.. stopping of at Maleny. If all goes well then maybe central Queensland.. This will be the trial period prior to taking the tour on the road to lands far away. I now I keep telling you that the USA will be getting a visit from me… it is getting closer to being a reality….really truly….

Bob and Kent and David and Lisa and Karson and BC and Eddy and Lew and Lee and Jim and maybe Max if I have time… lol Sorry if I missed out naming you…only so much time…to post …heck I have 180 something buddies… so you all know who you are and I hope to meet up with all of you….

Who don't I want to see… and will I have half the time I need.

And how could I forget Charles Jackson III?

But for sure I will visit…..Rick's[ aka Bowyer] wife…. Donna.

Back to the 1001 … should not take too long to get enough footage of sheds and workshops to keep you all happy for a few months.

Well for my first foray into filming on location… I chose my mate Ken… from Kenscraft in Scarborough, Queensland… He lives about 30 minutes away..

This morning I packed my new camera and headed off to catch up with Ken and shoot a few minutes of the Studio where he creates his magnificent Wedding Wishing Wells…

For those who want more info… check out

Kenscraft.

Now for the premiere of the first episode of the new series… 1001 Aussie Sheds.



Hopefully by the time I get to number 1001 I may actually know what the heck I am doing.

Hope you enjoy… but if you don't ….stiff.

cool video, I love workshop tours, I can't help when people have their garage doors open but to look in to see what kind of setup is in there, probably angering the people driving behind me, they must think I am a theif or something. Anyway I think this is great, keep it up and when in the US feel free to stop on by.

Larry : good luck on your tour. The film was a little choppy. I thinki you were moving to fast for the camera to keep up. It looked like all of the wood had finger cut edges.

May the seas be fair and the wind at your back as you travel the 1001 shed route…....by the time you get to NM….......maybe I'll have my new shed in place….....if not save me about 10-15 seconds…....you can tack it onto Patrons' video as an annex.

good luck with your adventure
1001 : 365 days =~3 years
I gess you will never be back in the shop again….LoL

and may I suggest that you realy realy realy realy slow down when you move the camera
so you have time to talk about every workstation/cabinet/tool /etc. this will
give you and oppetunity to re in talk parts of it under editering
and may I also suggest that you don´t jump around so much with the camera
from one end to the other end all the time it´s too confusing for everybody
and if you have trouble with the shaking of the picture then use a tripod and
pano on that this give you oppetunity to come in front and make some
interwiue with the shed owner also
a good idea wuold let them talk about there shed then you can consentrate
on filming and all the teknik or you can let the beloved be the camera man

just a few of my 2cents but I´m sure you will come after it very quickly
after all you are an L J with great skills and humor

I will look forward to see more from this adventure
stay safe and tuned

Hey mate are we off the merry go round yet ? My heads still spinning LOL
Hey Larry great Idea . I always thought I would like to go all over checking out everyone's shops (aka sheds)
I liked you first video but if you slow down the panning it will be a lot more enjoyable, but I doubt I could do better.
