My shed accredited shed
G'day,
Well I have finally got around to it.
After having set up my Dusty and getting shed accreditation from Shed Scientist at the Australian Institute of Backyard Studies, the time has finally come to put my shed up for you lot to have a gander at.
The floor area is 7m x 9m, but while this may sound like a lot of floor space there are two cars that get parked in the shed. I also have to be mindful of the fact that I will be moving my office into the back right corner which will be about 4m x 3m.
Pics Shed1 - Shed3 show the machinery set up along the left and back walls. And tucked in the back left corner is my Dusty.
Pic, Shed5 shows my shed acceditation which I got after reading the original post by Zenwood about his shed accredited shed. Pics, Shed4 and Shed6 show the work bench and storage shelves.

Shed accredited shed con't.
Pics, Shed7 and Shed8 show the set up for my Dusty. The Dusty is the C/T model FM-300 2Hp with 1200CFM. I don't know what the neighbours think when I fire him up and he roars into life - but for the sake of my lungs - who cares. Needless to say when the Dusty is going together with either the b/saw, 6" jointer or drop saw I have my ear-plugs in.
When I set up the Dusty I had to consider available space and machinery that I'll hook up to it in the future. Like Bodgy found, I also have 2 of the blast gates open when in use as it increases the efficiency (one open on the arm to the drop saw and one open on the arm to the jointer and bandsaw - depending on which I am using). Sometime down the track I'll hook up a C/T 13" thicknesser which will run in-line from the jointer.
Next step on the Dusty is to make a cyclone and put it in-line before the bandsaw.
Like all sheds mine isn't finished yet and will evolve as time goes on. The next thing to do is to replace the shelves I knocked up on arvo and replace it with a cupboard of the same size but with 2 doors so I can move some stuff out of the drawers to put more stuff in the drawers. Looking forward to it, as it'll be made from Tassie Oak with dovetails.
So there you have it folks, my shed accredited shed. Enjoy.

A shed with skid marks...i like it
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

G'day Gumby,
How you doing? Yeah, but not mine from any mishaps in the shed. They're from the previous bloke who owned the place, he used the shed to do up hot rods.

Waldo,
It's a great shed but how do you cope with the summer and all of that tin? :eek:
Is that what the exhaust fan is for? :confused: :confused:Whale oil beef hooked!

G'day Greg,
Hit the nail on the head there, summer does get hot and the opposite in winter. Winter I wear a beenie, summer I just sweat.
Haven't used the fan yet, have to get some powerpoints put in in the bench splash back to hook it up.

Waldo,
Why not consider lining the shed with styrofoam panels to reduce the temperature impact. I have brick walls and are considering this treatment for the (Tin) roof to reduce the heat in summer.
Is this weird given that we both live in Melb? (Anyone outside of Melbourne ignore this thread!!!!! )Whale oil beef hooked!

Waldo, you’re not thinking of adopting anyone in the near future is you? I don’t eat much and I’m almost shed trained.
Choice shed mate!!

It depends how much baggage you have. You wouldn't have a Dewalt RAS, a 13" thicknesser or a TS-10HB would you? If so, welcome to the family.
Greg,
No I haven't considered lining the shed. It's not the heat, but strueth the cold sure does a good job of making me hate Winter down here.
