    Default Wood Store Rebuild

    Over the last month, I have been rebuilding one of my wood stores as I lost the roof in the recent high winds. When I inspected the rest of the shed it was best to start again from scratch as well as build it much better as I did not know much about shed building when I originally built the old one, but then that was 20+ years ago.


    The damage.

    Using the first end as a pattern for the opposite end which has a door

    All three panels treated with dark oak preservative

    A few photos of the build now I maybe able to get into the workshop and do some turning or even start a new wooden model.

    Assembly of the first panels

    Roof support beams in place a few more than the first build and then the Roof panels fitted. My original rack also back in place

    The last panel fitted after making it as a panel now that I had the correct measurements


    20200306_163232 (768x1024).jpg


    The second door made and fitted Still need to apply the finish to this panel and door.

    Today got the downpipe fitted for the gutter. And then started to move in some of the wood. I have decided to leave the turning blanks in the other store and move mainly the flatwood into this one. Also things like part turned bowls, LV bowling balls burrs and exotic woods.

    I will be sorting the wood out into wood types rather than having to hunt for a piece.

    ahhh, that shed is against the house wall?
    and the roof line leans back towards the house wall?
    puts a huge pressure on the guttering???

    I realise its a bit late now but wouldnt it have been a good idea to have the roof line tilting away from the house? or am I missing something.
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

    Not quite sure I understand the roof slopes down away from the house. The old store was the same and for the last 20 years it was up I have not had any problems with water run off

    I think someone is confused with the neighbor's house.
    Looks nice and snug in there now and I'm sure it will last at least as long as the old one.

    Hopefully longer as I have made some changes as this one does not sit directly on the paved base there is a gap which is some narrow pieces of slab lifting the frame about 2" off of the slabs but the feather board is only 1 1/2" so the water drips straight off without contacting the frame.
    The racking is also on extra slabs. If I was making a workshop then I would have included a floor again raised off of the slabs

    Gee Derek,
    That wood shed looks way too well organized and clean.
    Good to see it all back together to keep the precious timber stocks dry and safe!!
    Now back to the workbench and make some more of your beautiful creations, sir....'
    Cheers, Peter

    Putting things back again is the part I enjoy as it always looks the tidiest its going to be when you finish.

    So true, I have sorted nearly all the wood now and instead of just piles of one size it is now piles of different wood types, So if I want oak it is all in the same place.

    I wonder how long that will last

    Derek the only thing I'd have done is put sisilation under all surfaces before attaching boards. That qould assist in keeping water out as well as insulation and drying timbers.
    Looks good fancy coming sorting all mine out still not done 4 years after the ,ove [emoji34][emoji849]

    No need to insulate I just needed a store to keep the wood undercover. The other store has more holes than a colander which is just right for drying wet wood I acquire.
