Thread: My shed accredited shed

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.

I suddenly seem to have developed a major case of shed envy. Fantastic set-up Waldo. Sure that you have mahy enjoyable hours in there. (grumble .... bastard....grumble)

G'day Wood Butcher,

Thanks, oh yeah plenty of hours spent in there.

That accreditation bloke knows what he's talking about. Yep it's definitely a shed.
And a bloody good one too!

A shed with skid marks...i like it

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.

Nice shed Waldo, careful with the darts and the beers... dont want a dart embedded in the power point :eek:

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:

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!!!!! )

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!!

G'day Auspiciousdna,

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.
