the view from your shed

[robyn2839]

after looking at the great show us your shed post ,i noticed some great veiws out of windows and doors which prompted me to start a veiw from your shed,i think it would also be an interesting look at how members see the world ,i will take and post some of mine today........bob

[hughie]

A view from the shed, no shed as yet:C. Got the view for where the shed will be......colorbond fence :C

[Ozkaban]

Does the view from standing on your shed's roof count? :D:D:D

Not bad for a suburban Sydney view :cool:

Cheers,
Dave

[Ed Reiss]

Being a cellar dweller, there is no view :C:no::no:

[NeilS]

As previously posted, here (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/show-us-ya-shed-89947/index33.html#post1019366).

And, if roof views from future workshops are included, below is the view from the roof of my next workshop, if I ever get myself organised enough to get underway with it... :(

Pah! This is from 40,000 feet above my shed.

[Ozkaban]

Pah! This is from 40,000 feet above my shed.

So it's true then - 40,000 feet up in melbourne, and there are still clouds :D

I hope you've got GPS to confirm the position :cool:

EDIT: Nice photo, BTW!

Cheers,
Dave

[thefixer]

Pic 1 shows the view from the shed front door. Nice panoramic view of the back of the house. There was once a driveway there leading up to the shed but a growing family forced me to build 3 bedrooms over it.

Pic 2 shows the view from the back door. A picturesque scene of storage area "A" and shed "B". Storage area "B" and shed "C" is beyond that.

[Woodwould]

It's not even my picture; Google! :U

Harry thats one spectacular bit of photography its almost as though it was Paintshoped or Oil Painted

[Ozkaban]

Yeah, amazingly in focus forground and horizon. And the light is perfect on both too. Well done :;

[Groggy]

Please don't show the inside of that hangar Harry, its huge. I get sick with envy every time I see it :;

[Avery]

http://www.woodworkforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=122445&stc=1&d=1258618406

Wow!

a view like that , especially with that sky, would ensure very little work would be done.

[Manuka Jock]

That explains why Harry hasn't finished his shed yet eh :D

[robyn2839]

hears the veiw from my shed pic 1 note the really tall norfolk island pine, 2&3 seems hard to realize that last week i was swimming where that dirt is 45m3 to be exact nice and tight for a big tipper to get in, no more cleaning pool thats a bonus ,room for another shed now

[Harry72]

Thanks for the kind comments:) be a few years before I can enjoy that view regularly... one day, getting the power on is the next big cost as I'd like to have it on before building the workshop area in.

Plenty of room for another shed there Robyn!

[thefixer]

Tony, at least you can see some green and some sky, unlike poor old fixer.:no::no::no:


It's what's inside the shed that holds my interest.You cant admire the scenery while you're creating the next masterpiece:rolleyes: Besides, I have my own little piece of nature to keep me company and talk to me while I potter and ponder. Everybody, say hello to gimp. She's quite a comical little bird and agrees with everything I say.:D Here's a picture of her giving me her opinion.

[robyn2839]

love birds ,i just made a bird feeder for the front of house and now we have brekky looking at these lovely creatures

bob

[Texian]

Not exactly "from" my shed, but in the driveway. Shed is off to the left. This is my little buddy "Notch". Since the rut began he has gone off to chase the does, will probably establish his own territory and not return.

[Gil Jones]

Looking out the back window of the shop, and one from outside the shop at sunset.

[Ed Reiss]

Yep, lookin' at all those wonderful views really makes me want to get out of the cellar and have a workshop, sorry...shed, built out back. But then I get to thinkin' that it'll still be nothing more than a view of Jersey:C:~

[Old farmer]

Robyn, if I may, thanks for lovely pic.

Would you mind telling me the wood you used, and any finish, please?

Also, do you find that white cockatoos and magpies take over the feeder at times of the year, frightening away smaller birds?

Thank you.

I can see why Sue said you have enough timber Nick .............best idea is we have a Sydney forumite get together at your place and have a clean up for you.:U Pat and I won't mind honest

[Grumpy John]

O.K. Ed take a photo out of your kitchen window and give us a look at Jersey :D.

Recently (12 Nov) the phone rang at about 7.30 am. Oh no, I thought, what's happened :oo:.
The father of one of my son's mates said "the noise you can hear is the Lemon Scented Gum coming down, do you want some?"
"spose" I replied
So two trips later I've ended up with more timber, sliced it with the Husky that weekend. Looks very similar to the timber I liberated a couple of years ago which I thought was spotted gum.
And there's the bit of olive I "found' out at Macquarie Uni" about this time last year. And then there's ... stuff
Anyway, The car is left in the driveway. Not as important as wood

[robyn2839]

Robyn, if I may, thanks for lovely pic.

Also, do you find that white cockatoos and magpies take over the feeder at times of the year, frightening away smaller birds?

Thank you. i used cedar and just oiled it ,havent seen any sulpha crested cockatoos,but plenty of pink and grey galahs and corellas ,which are like white cockatoos i suppose,the smaller birds tend to rule the roost when it comes to maggies etc, also what you feed them will play a big part in what comes to feed,i have about 25 varieties of birds so far, suppose the worst are indian minors.........bob

[Old farmer]

Thanks for all of that, Bob.

[Little Festo]

Could,t resist putting up a few more. When we first moved here there wasn't a work shop and this was the only "flat" location on the block suitable.

Guess I'm lucky in that the shed is built on the prime site on the block. My wife chose the property and was worried about where the shed could be built but it turned out really well. The house has a similar view but not quite as good.We sometimes, after a tough days work, rough it and climb up onto the old concrete water tank at the back of the shed, now used as a wood storage area, and sip a champhers, wine or beer. It's nearly as tall as the shed and the view is quite speccie, nice breezes too.

There are two roller doors, one faces "southish" the other "westish". Luckily there are views out both doors. Even better than the views are the breezes. They mostly come through the southern door, sea breezes from Noosa. As he "crow flies" it's about 10-12 km to the coast.

I have Grevillias at the front door and along the fence screening the road. The red honey eaters frequent those trees.



Most of the images are of Mt Coorora, at different time of the year etc. Mt Coorora is just out of Pomona. They have a "king of the mountain" every June/July where fit people run up the mountain. They call it a mountain but it's only 450 meters or so. That's out of the western door. Mt Cooroy , the fifth last photo is from the southern door, not quite as speccie but right nextdoor is a dairy farm with a nice green valley frequented be herds of mooing cows and grey kangaroos. Once a year the farmer employs a pilot to fertilise his fields. The plane lands on to the ridge about 150/200 meters from the shed, quite noisy for a week or so but I guess it breaks the monotey.

Peter, (or Lil Festo the Billy Goat)

Here are my crappy photos from my shed in a very hot and sweaty Darwin. Brings back memories aye Peter!!
The spare VL300 was being prepped for new owner. He just wanted his first look at a Vicmarc and ended up with it. Not a bad bad jump from his Dynalink.
Peter are you going to TurnFest?
Got to go and have another shower to cool off!

Hello Jeff,

Did you model for the Budda statue:D?? Not very likely I imagine. Yes will be going to Turnfest next year, Heike too. I take it that the Darwin crew will be going?/ Do you think Ian might go?? Did you meet Les Harvey in Darwin. He's living down here now and vists the workshop quite regularly.

Jeff took a friend down the hill through the lantana in the Argo. He chickened out and asked to get out and slid down the slope, was a lot safer in the Argo. I'm amazed how safe the little green bug is.


Vern,

Have a spare VL300 you are welcome to use anytime. Dosen't quite have the view you get from the Stubby but not bad though. Had a beer in fron of the shed this evening, lovely cool sea breeze up there.

[artme]

Fabulous views Gil and Peter. Two beautiful parts of the world.

Woodwould, your sense of humour is a breath of fresh air. Amazingly many Australians have a quite biased and totally unrealistic idea of great Britain and its coastline. Your pictures show this beautifully.

I know Jersey is an island but that view of the beach is reasonably typical of scenes we see in a lot of British TV shows.

And I like Jersey cows. Lovely animals.

[Wongdai]

Well, here is the view from the two windows of my shed. Nothing to compare with what has gone before unfortunately, but its my haven and I'm happy..

Here we go the view from my proposed shed, I chose the location because of the outstanding view. I could wax lyrical over it, but I will let the view speak for its self. :U

The remaining shots are my current situation, a tad cramped. but if you have good eyesight you can make out three lathes, the fore gorund one is a Woodfast. I am converting it to a 1hp variable speed, currently its 1/2hp 3phase.

[Wongdai]

OK wongdai! Is the mesh to keep you in or others out:?:D:D

lol ya wallyburger. Its not a mesh, its a blind made of those thin stick things. Keeps the sun out of my shed whilst letting in ample light and breeze. :)

[Ausworkshop]

Here's what I see from my shed, the ugly blue letter box is on my list to be replaced.
The sun rises over the sawmill in the background and the birds come out to eat.:)

By the way, its the largest hardwood sawmill in the southern hemisphere and I look at those stacks lined up and think if I had just one stack I would have enough timber for life.
Vic Ash needs to dry stacked for at least 15 months.

Its now owned by Gunns, like just about every other mill.
Oh, and that is a real rainbow in the first pic, looked much better in real life tho.

[rsser]

Lots of timber in those piles.

How high's the fence? ;-}

I sometimes blat through Heyfield on a ride to Licola. Technical bit of road.

[Ausworkshop]

35 weir road heyfield - Google Maps (http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=35+weir+road+heyfield&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=50.391248,113.818359&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=35+Weir+Rd,+Heyfield+Victoria+3858&t=h&z=16)

That is nothing let me tell you!
Those stacks are tiny little stacks they have just near the gate ready to go into the kiln I think. The main storage area for the really high stacks are behind those stacks and it seems to go on forever, it kind of makes me sick when I think of how many trees are cut down but supposedly its all managed.

If you click the link above you can see a satellite shot from above my house on Google earth.
My house and workshop are barley visible (below the red balloon) compared to the giant saw mill and stacks of timber into the horizon. I'd never seen so much timber in my life until I moved here a few months back.

[rsser]

Yeah, thought the wood pile rang a bell. That's on the Glenmaggie Rd yeah?

[NeilS]

.... it kind of makes me sick when I think of how many trees are cut down but supposedly its all managed.



Yes, managed for Gunns' share hoders....:C

[Bob38S]

My eyes are not as good as I would wish, Bob, but are they Tawny Frogmouths, please?

I believe so from what I have looked up. They appeared about 18 months ago from nowhere. Pure fluke on my part that the eyes were open on this occasion as I had set up a relatively new camera on a tripod and during the day just snapped off a heap of pix.

No windows, no gorges view, just a peep hole to see if the car doors I can hear are in my drive or that of 4 neighbours and the street that are in hearing range.
