    Default Wanting Small Workspace Area - Sydney

    Howdy All,

    I have a love for all things woodworking, and recently have bought a fair few Triton Tools etc.

    I live in a unit block so its hard to really get out there as much as I want to cut up timber, make things and learn. Pretty much limited to a few hours on saturday n sunday.

    I want a small workspace in a light industrial area or something. Something big enough to swing a cat...

    Are there any other folk out there that wants the same thing, a place to be able to turn on the power tools when ever you want etc.

    I would like the same thing too. Don't you hate it when the neighbors complain about power tool noise.

    yer its a pain you know where when you can't get down to ya woodwork when you want.

    I'm so keen to try n find a small area suitable and possibly find a fellow member who is willing to go 1/2s in the cost of a place or something...

    Anyone have a garage they don't want

    Hi guys, last time I looked Sydney is about 80km north to south and 70km east to west. It might help if you're a bit more specific about where would be convenient for you.

    good luck, Fletty

    Hi gents,

    http://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/ww...-mens-shed.asp

    Might be an option for some. Especially in a place like Sydney.

    Can't see why some locally intereted parties couldn't try something themselves though. Helps to know someone and here's a good place to start...

    I really don't care where in *Sydney*, I'd be willing to travel that kinda distance just to be able to have a workshop. Its not like we are really able to choose where we want a workshop due to there been very little about.

    I'd put my hand up for almost anything small secure space available.

    I found a recent add for a secure workshp area of 31.45 sqm for $95 a week in Carlton.4700mm x 6700mm.

    Thats smaller than a double garage. Can't swing a cat in there if you want a decent table saw.

    plenty of room for all the triton gear I have... I'm not going to be cutting down tree's n milling them...

    that kinda size for 2 people that just had a number of tools such as a triton workcentre etc I thought would be managable....

    I agree with electric-green, that's enough room for Triton tools.
    I have a space 2.4M x 4.2M and it's (just) enough space for the Triton workbench or router table.
    I do have a conveniently placed window for those long jobs

    yer perfect space for a WC2000 and maybe a few other bits.. Router table etc... just gotta find someone who's also interested and willing to split the cost... could be a little cramped with 2 people in there but still be ok I reckon.

    I only want it for a few hours on weekends.
