Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Really like the shelving system you've setup.

cheers

Nice setup there Jeff, some great looking toys..sorry..tools, and the storage cupboards are blurry beautiful. I guess you knocked them up yourself with that sliding tablesaw. Nice bench too, but I don't see any dog holes on the top?
Thanks for posting the pics, now I'll just go get a cloth and wipe the drool from my keyboard...

Very nicely set up shed. Like the shelves and cupboards, much better than my hodge podge ex-garage sale stuff.

Could have done with your woodheater today, it was freezing in the shed!

Yep,

Did all of the cabinets out of whiteboard (Vic ash tops) using the combo machine. It's not perfect, but I'll finish it all one day. 3 years so far and not much progress the last two.

No dog holes in the work bench! Must be my son's bad photography. I cheated and used the MIK? 3/4 inch brass dogs and run them against the end vice. Not a tail vice and not entirely satisfactory, but it does the job. The other vice set up is a lot more useful. I seem to use it all the time.

What it all really needs is some decent dust extraction. That's going to be costly and hard to set up (one day) on the combo machine.

Where's the fridge looks VERY neat, you padantic you.

Awesome.

Tony, heater inside so fridge would be outside near the door or in another room.

PS. Just noticed, Esky at the front door.

Some more pics if I can figure it out. "Lathe central" is the unused corner of the machine end of the workshop. Gotta figure out how to use that damn skew chisel. One day.

Nice setup, and a very impressive ironing table.

2 heaters!!! & look at that nice insulation?

You must be somewhere up near Wood Borer with a view of the South Pole out the side window.

Cliff - it does get cold here. Probably 30 kms as the crow flies from Falls Creek snowfield.

As for the insulation, it cost me a packet but was worth every cent. (I still put batts in the walls as I line, just to be sure).

Hey Jeff,

Is the insulation just for heat or was it actually put in to reduce noise levels? I'm in the process of fitting out a new shed myself on an arce block and I'm more concerned with noise from thicknessers, table saws etc traveling through the clean crip air of open space than what I am at the moment working from a little shed in the middle od town.

I know, I priced it for my shed.

It will do both but it is fairly pricey.
Lining the walls with some sort of sheeting & filling the cavity seems to work the best with sound.
You can actually get a sound deadening gyprock but it my not be too robust in a shed.

I agree fully with Cliff.

The insulation does cut the noise down, but for me, who cares? The nearest neighbor is 150m away and makes as much noise as I do.

But on an acre, I suggest you be careful. Line the shed - don't forget the ceiling with as many batts as you can.

It will keep the noise down - particularly the thicknesser and routers - and also keep the place warm and cool.

The last shed I had had R3.5 batts in the walls and they could hardly hear me.

Looks great Jeff. And not a cow poop in sight ;-}

Gets both hot and cold up there don't it? I spent several years as a kid up the valley in Mt Beauty.
