Thread: WIP - Sturdee's wood storage shed.

Yesterday I bolted some old pine railings to the metal wall of shed no 2, which needed to be done before rear access was closed of by the new shelving in shed no 1.

I also pulled through the electric wiring whilst that part was open as per photo attached.

Now I can start on making some shelves in the first shed.


Peter.

About 40 years ago I bought a pine bookcase, which after a number of years was altered to allow for a TV wall unit. So some shelves were removed and now, as a result of some renovations, is no longer needed.

Photo 1 shows the bookcase and this can again be used as part of the shelving needed. The unit is 920mm wide, 1800mm high and 230mm deep. Although not as deep as I would like it will be good to store smaller blanks etc. As it is to tall for the space I cut it to size (photo 2) and reattached to top back in photo 3.

The rebuilt unit is now fixed into the opening as per photos 4 & 5 . This will new need additional shelves and side supports to take the weight but that is easy now that I have a frame to work against.

63

75 and the bottom half of a Dutch door.

36 I reckon. Won't be able to come down and view your handiwork though Peter, too far mate. Good thread

53 is my guess.

43 and 3/4 of doors is my guess. OH and don't forget the old book case

Yesterday I again went kerbside shopping, next council collection area, and the picking was somewhat sparse.

I only found 5 doors to add to the growing collection for the shed conversions. We are now halfway through the collection areas and for the next 4 weeks there will be 4 other areas to look at.

Saw some very nice furniture being disposed of, somehow breaks my heart to see that, but unfortunately I have no need or use for them.

Been to cold to work outside, so I've been working in the workshop remodelling and reorganising to make room for a proper sharpening area.

The guesses so far are : 31, 36, 43, 43 3/4, 48, 53, 63, & 75.

A great range of numbers and one of them is only one of the right number, but which one is that is the question.

I'll leave you all in suspense for another week and will reveal the answer next Sunday.

Whew I can smell the chook from here.

I'm going with a nice round 50.

When I dug the service pit in my shed I shovelled the spoil into the tiny bucket on the front of Fergie. When I had about 5 bucket fulls out I ran a guess how many buckets contest with family and friends, having provided them with all the relevant info.

Surprisingly my oldest son (chippy) and BIL (teacher) were wide of the mark and BIL s partner (woman) nailed it within a bucket or two.

Bit hard Geoff as the smell has nearly disappeared. Since the hose down I've had the doors propped open to really air it out.

By the time I get some Lilydale topping to cover the ground it will all be gone.

42 doors is the number I calculated. Commiserations on the unsuccessful entries.
