...awwww c'mon, a young healthy dude like you can hack it

looks like the shed is coming along just fine....good work

**new_guy90** · 19th April 2009, 06:52 PM

well its time for another update. yesterday i pulled everything out from the right side and made such a mess on the left ........the car couldn't get in that night lol. the blue cabinet needed painting inside and i took off its warped and mouldy base but i think its all good now and in the right place. the sander is all together but the table is way off 90 so im trying to fix that but its not easy may have to give Carba-Tec a call. the pine table and couches are up the back and im happy with where they are but latter im going to swap the table and the rear couch to see what it will be like. there is still a huge mess where the car should be so it has to stay out side for another night. got a few other things together to make a neet handle for the pen mill and some turned nobs for the cabinets so they will be the first to be made when everything is ready. now for some pic's

hope this will be done soon its all looking good and much better than it was a month ago

**new_guy90** · 21st April 2009, 06:03 PM

well everything is finished now im really happy with it......... well its no pro shop but it works for all my needs now

i just have to sort out some better lighting down the track but its all good and clean ........for now

here are some pic's

i have to tinker with the bandsaw and the sander tables as there not sitting right and the bandsaws table may have warped

but thats for latter. thanks everyone for looking i love seeing how others do there work shops and i hope you all liked mine now time to make chips
