I see a lot of space in the shed, if you put up some free standing shelves. I have done that to some extent and gotten things off the floor which does help.

Not a good photo of the view but you may as well have a photo tour of my little workshop. The lathe has been changed since these and a turning tool rack replaces the little draw units which is in the last two pictures

Well Dalboy, that view looks pretty good for a winter's day. Are the fans for us Strynes that really do need fans to try and keep the air moving?
Very neat and organised too......do you do "house calls" to help others organise their sheds? [I am envious]

I took these last summer except the tool rack which was taken later as for the fan that is out of there for the winter.

And yes I do house calls as long as the fare is paid along with accommodation

Dalboy, that's great....get on the next available flight....."the cheque is in the mail"

Now I see why your work is so good, it matches your shed
Looks like you do a bit of metal turning as well.

Not anymore the metal lathe has been replaced with a small wood lathe, so I now have a Record CL3 as the main lathe and a small VS lathe which can be used on the main bench if needed. Every thing else remains the same in there.

There you are. The other end of the spectrum. What I realized I'm not. Nice mate but makes me just a little bit uncumfortable. I ever I visit I will feel as if I were fish out of water.

The dust is fine as long as you don't try to shift it. Hence I leave it

And they's all mine

Well, not from through the louvre window, but rather looking over the shed down the valley.
