    It's a lovely piece of redgum - I haven't decided what to do with it yet. Its about 1m long X 65 cm wide and only 3.5cm thick. It has a bow in it of about 1cm. I don't know whether to make a natural edge coffee table with a bowed top or turn a large platter with it.

    I think it would be interesting to have a look at the different layouts we turners have, from the humble Jet Mini by the back door (g'day Eliza) to the mega shed with multiple Vicmarcs (hi Jefferson).

    My "shed" is a double garage which I share with LOML, she has her 1/2 for her soapmaking and storing whelping boxes and dog crates for her dog breeding interests.

    The first two pics show the general outlay as viewed from the roller door. Photo 3 shows the main work area with grinder close by. Notice the pathetically small work bench, it used to be much bigger but I cut it in half to fit the car in (silly me). Photos 4 & 5 show my storage area for blanks and WIP's, my chainsaw is in the box next to the red esky. #6 is my pride & joy a Jet 1642.

    Tool storage. Since I no longer work as a fitter/turner/service engineer I put my 7 drawer tooltrolley to a better use.
    Top drawer, my P&N chisels I scored on eBay.
    Second drawer, Rolly Munroe hollower, home made Ci1 rougher, Oland tool and other assorted Ally handled tools.
    Third drawer, assorted tools I've picked up at auctions, McJing eBay etc.
    Fourth drawer, odds & sods.
    Fifth drawer, Forstner bits, sanders, drill bits.
    Sixth drawer, Chucks & jaws.
    Seventh drawer, drills, impact driver and die grinder.

    O.K., I've shown you mine, now let's see yours .

    Gooday GJ, is your JET lathe the model where the headstock slides along the ways and also rotates? The reason I ask is I'm looking to upgrade and to compare lathes and price.
    Do you get accurate alignment between head and tailstock when the head is moved to back to its original position without being mucked around?

    Cheers, Evan

    Like you've done here?

    If yes. then yes, as a Thumb is a smaller image linking to a bigger image

    I under-estimated just how much I would love being able to walk out from the lounge room to the shed. SWMBO and I came to an agreement about the door to the shed after this though;

    In my happy place (ask Robo if you don't know where your happy place is) and producing 10mm wide curlies from green SO, SWMBO comes out to give me a cup of tea. I didn't hear the door open but I heard it close again

    Hi Guys This is where I do my woodturning.It's tiny compared to some of yours but I can move from one lathe to another or to the grinder just by turning arround.
    Plus the wiew from the shed is OK.BTW thisshed is only for woodtuening,Anything else gets done in the Garage.
    Cheers Tony.

    Shed's looking good but!


    I'll have a re-look at things and maybe post up a newer improved shed shot just for those blokes with sheds less than 9m x 7m. (yeah, some have bigger or multiple sheds )
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    the problem is i am in several forums and this is the only one with this rule and it is more of a habit putting pics in that form for me , most forums prefer the method i just used.
    but thats ok i will just have to try and remember or suffer .

    Normally you can do it via either method but thumbanails are prefered, but for this pecular thread, just thumbnails only

    FYI, before I started this thread I PM'd the mods asking if a "photo heavy" thread would cause any problems by slowing things down too much. I was advised that there would be no problems provided that photos were posted as thumbnails and not submitted via image hosting sites, hence the statement in the first sentence of the first post. Perhaps DJ or can/will explain the issues with using 3rd. party hosting.


    Thanks everyone for the pictures posted so far, it has been interesting reading/viewing about other peoples shed setups.

    Evan, the 1642 headstock slides along the bed but does not rotate. Alignment is pretty good all along the bed. At it's worst is is only about 1.5mm out, but even then you can "play around" with the head/tail stock to get it pretty much perfect.

    Default My Shed

    Wish my shed was a little bigger but local council put paid to that when they would not let me build any bigger as it would cover sewerage line that runs across back yard. Said they needed access - if ever. 1st pic taken before new table saw. Triton just went to new home with Blackhole on weekend.

    The prob with 3rd party hosting is that it can be volatile.

    Eg. you post a pic on Photobucket or Flickr but some time later decide to delete or move it, then the link here points to a dead url.

    That is part of it and the main reason.
    Another problem is that if the site where the pictures are hosted is experiencing a slow connection it slows the download here as well.

    All I can say is it's disguisting how cluttered all your sheds are with bits of timber laying around everywhere.

    If you send all the timber to me, think how much neater your sheds will be?

    My 20 mth old son has stored our digital camera somewhere and I can't find it but when I do I post some pics
