Bench and storage in a small shed

**woodie2** · 11th November 2008, 11:10 PM

Imagine two boxes. One just smaller than the other. So, one of the boxes is the shed. The other box is made of marine ply or similar wood or ply painted well (Shed colour) and on Castor's. When approaching the shed, you "move" the ply box out to the limit of the travel (Shed depth). Using the above principle you can double the amount of space available for wood working. (been there done that).

I hope you can visualize the concept I am talking about.

Best of luck

Use all the wall space you can and even the ceiling is good for hanging things from. You can suspend a wood rack and other things from the ceiling by using the big lag screw type eye bolts in the ceiling joists. The best way to mount things to the wall, especially heavy things, is using cleats which you can make from 3/4" thick scrap wood. I try to keep every thing off the floor, makes clean up a lot easier.

Sounds good, but I'd be concerned with the strength of the ceiling as it's only one of those colourbond sheds.
