Show us ya shed!
G'day All, I've been given the O.K. from the BOSS to run this thread. the only restriction on photos is that they be posted as thumbnails only and not posted via image hosting sites such as Photobucket. (The BOSS may wish to weigh in here to explain the issues with image hosting sites)
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 .To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

I have shed envy

I was in a challenge yesterday to show your work area as it was right that minute, no cleaning up allowed. So I have that photo to show you.

Grumpy John,
the last time I posted pics of my shed I was castigated severely. Deservedly so. I wasn't trying to brag, but in hindsight is seemed as much. So I won't post pics. But my "turning corner" is still a work in progress. I need to paint the linings and then figure out where everything should go too. This is causing me some grief I might add. And the little VL100 remains inactive.
I figure that some sheds are set up better than others. I've seen DJs, Robbos and Erns and there is much to learn. So this is a great thread.
I do have a "free" wall. Dunno whether to make some more storage cupboards, or build some racks for the chisels, etc etc.
I'd love to see what others are doing, so please post some pics.
Jeff

You beat me to it, LOML puts lavender buds in some of her soaps for that very reason. I figure she can have the sawdust for free .
Added: I'm not seeing many pictures, thanks for yours Eliza. Don't get despondant, as Paul Kelly wrote, "from little things big things grow".Last edited by Grumpy John; 24th February 2009 at 11:28 AM. Reason: footnote

Is this for woodturners only?
Here's my shed at the moment. I do have a lathe, it's behind all those sheets of chipboard at the moment. I need to move them so I can get to it to turn up some drawer pulls for a cabinet I'm working on but I don't want to move them twice. I got them to line my shed walls with, so I'm doing that first, then when it's done, I might be able to get to the lathe."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Thanks very much, Grumpy John, for this great thread and pics.
I had a good shed on the farm, miss it greatly, am slowly preparing a tiny one beside the house here in Sydney and shall pinch ideas from you.
Thanks again.

Righto then, here's mine.
Not much room in there, too much timber lying around (and don't I hear about it from SWMBO) but there's timber racks that Yonnee welded up for me in the background, that are wating to get put up so I can try and get the bulk of the timber up and out of the way.
For some reason I can't get to my bench at the moment.
The space in the middle of the floor? That gets taken up by SWMBO's car and moved out when I'm in here - which is about 10 hours per day. The enclosed room at the back right, that's my office and day job.
So there ya go. I've shown mine, now let's see some more of yours.
(is it me, or do pics open much smaller now even saved at their optimum size? )
