Humph, excuses. A bloke with a new shed and no power would be running power leads straight from the wires off the power lines outside if he had to just so he could play in a new shed.

Congrats on the new "blokes abode" looks the goods GJ!

G`day John not to be a pain but I don`t think your lathe is in the right spot in relation to the window I think the natural light will shadow your side of what you are turning.

P.S. Nice looking shed(workshop)

Rule #1, always make sure that the tenon is the right size before removing the bowl from the face plate. Isn't that right Neil .

Doesn't seem to be a problem Mick, There's also light from a skylight off to the right.

The shed looks good and I see what you have done in order to get some dust going on.

GJ, I won't be down for the WW show, so I can't do a measure up.

So you may have to do it yourself! I suggest you line the walls first (I didn't and regret it).

Send me the measurements and what material you prefer (19mm ply I suggest) and I'll bring it all down. Probably assembled. Or 16mm melamine.

Ready when you are, except for late Oct.

Good to see some soul being worked in GrumpyJohn. I know of sources of packing crate timber, floor to ceiling lengths, three quarter inch thick, five to six inch wide which could be used for lining. I can't tell if your shed structure can accommodate battens to fix lining or the combined weight but I think it would enable you to make better use of the walls for stuff and stop the shavings that have already built up on the frame, just a thought

Good Jeff, a bit of moral support, I thought I was going out on a limb suggesting things about, of all things, a persons' shed, but you got in first

nice bowl John , sheds a bit messy tho eh

Nice lookin shed. I reckon it'll be cramped in no time

Pity someone got into it and made a mess

but why christen it with some foreign timber and not an aussie hardwood (or did the curlies fly further from the oak

Well my shed is starting to happen. The slab was formed up today. Tomorrow, council inspection of the steel work and pour on Saturday. Hopefully Delivery next Wednesday and erection Friday week.
