Bit more of an update. Lined a bit more of the wall, a few more tools up. Starting to get a bit of floor space sorted. Braz

Also meant to say that I made a mobile trolley base for the old filing cabinet and a small ply top. That way it's small enough to move right around the table saw for longer cuts and not to big for the single garage

Looking great!
The dust extraction will also reduce dust from settling all over the tools you are mounting on the walls. Don't ask me how I know.
Get possession of the 3 bay space before anything else ends up in there. If you enjoy doing this you will soon want that area.

Thanks dave, ummm it took me about 3 days to fill the 3 bays off the other shed. You really cannot have to many sheds and yes the dust extraction will come in handy [emoji106] [emoji3]

Think Ahead
Hi Braz
The biggest mistake that I made with my shed was leaving an uneven floor; I didn't realise how bad it was and now thee is so much stuff in the shed that re-skimming the floor is in the too hard basket.
Second mistake was leaving three walls primer pink and the fourth wall and ceiling natural VJ pine colour. Both surfaces absorb light. Should have painted them white or similar.
Third mistake, I grossly underestimated how much lighting I would needed. Look at commercial premises for guidance.
Fourth mistake; failed to follow friends advice to line all walls with yellow tongue. Cheap, versatile and strong. Hang anything from it.
And now it's too bloody small !
cheers
Graeme

I have screwed bits of cream or white melamine and ply to much of my blue walls. Depending what I had lying around. The ply I have painted either white or light blue with whatever left over paint I had.
Plus I got 10 of these LED bars from ALDI to light it all up. Here is me installing them,

I certainly recommend you do something similar.
