Thread: The Quest for the Unrolled Shed

Are they two planes sitting flat on the bench in the second last picci
Oh dear and all the rest looks good but no rest for the planes


A picture is worth a thousand words, and so it should be it uses up a thousand times the memory.

Ashore,
There are three planes on the bench: (1) at right is my LN#7, (2) obscured by the blue dustpan is my LN scrub (I'm in the middle of flattening a curly maple board here), and (3) at the rear is a Stanley bedrock #5 bought off the blood and gore dude while I was in the States. One of these days, I dream of making a Bob Key style cupboard to store planes etc (http://www.terraclavis.com/bws/toolstorage.htm), but for now they mainly sit on the top shelf of the unit in the corner behind and to the right of the bench. (Block planes are within easy reach on the metal shelves to the immediate right of the bench. Remember: I have a Dark Side background.)

Hey you got 2 windows that have the same formation of clamps, funny that!
Looks like a nice cossey workshop, Im jealous all I got is crummy tin!

Very nice Zen... I particularly like the amount of room you've got... Lining is a bit too civilized though, isn't it?

Hi Zenwood


Neat idea for photos! Nice workshop, but, in my humble opinion, it needs MORE WOOD!!!

From the wood-obsessed one

You're right Ruffly, cupboards, benchspace, timber. Something to aspire to...

How come everything is not down in the left-hand corner? :eek:
It looks like the shed is sloping down to the left.

Great looking shed by the way Zenwood!!

Cool panaramic photos mate. Do you actually use your shed or do you just collect good tools? Or did you clean up for the photos

Yeah, the overall slope is a weird effect:confused: . Not sure how that happened: whether the tripod was off vertical, or it's just a coincidence in how I lined up the individual photos.

Yes I do use my shed, and I'm not a tool collector: I deny that completely.

I didn't clean up for the photos. I try to sweep up the shavings at the end of a day's planing. Just wish I had the muscles to show for it. Grrr.

Makes it easier to tidy up a little more often rather than lots once in a while eh.

Does your tripod have spirit levels in it? Maybe your floor isnt level... Id say it was a combination of things, could be the spacing between photos.

Whats that just in front of your wood rack? (Not you, the wood thing on the floor hehe)

ditto here
Pretty good work with the camera Zenwood. There are some funny things happening due to the lens distortion. Lenses do that but we never notice until we do things like big panoramas

Nope: I did try to line up the camera with the the uprights of the shed before and after rotating it 90 degrees in the x-y plane, but apparently to no avail. The floor might be level, but maybe the uprights are aslant:eek:

The thing in front of the woodrack is the crosscut sled for the tablesaw. Made it a couple of months ago, after getting sick of the thing that came with the saw. Works really well. Can post pics if there is interest.

ZenwoodJust a quick question did you use the cameras own softwear to stitch the pics or another program
And what type of camera was it






A picture is worth a thousand words, and so it should be it uses up a thousand times the memory.

Ashore: I used my own software "CorelPhoto-Paint", but I probably need more training in its capabilities. Photoshop can also do stitching, not doubt there are other programs as well. The professionals would be able to get far better results, I'm sure. My camera is a basic panasonic: for these panoramas each photo was 640x480 with max compression.
