frankS Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 This is a photo I put up 8 days ago about a wood working shed I had in mind. Well it's taken me 8 days ( don't do anything in a hurry these days ) but now I have a dedicated wood turning shed measuring 18feet x 7 feet , very rough but at least a roof over my head that will keep me dry. Now to start cleaning up some more of the outer shed for more work space. Frank 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Awesome frank! I’m sure we all have a few projects to accomplish. I know I do and a few I’ve done already. Isn’t it funny that it takes times like these to pull your finger out and do things around the house. What else would we be doing? Fishing? 🤔 Haha 😂 cheers scratchie!!!

Guest Guest123456789 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Very nice workspace there Frank. Did you increase the roof height at all? I would love some of those big power tools you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Top job Frank. I guess you'll only be going in the house to sleep and eat now, eh? I'll have to build something similar for my new kiln but first job is to get the roundup on the jungle. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 2 inches between the lowest point and my head. Tools !! There are a few that is on my wish list, 1st is a more powerful lathe and 2nd is a wood thicknesser , I would also like a larger bandsaw but I have 2 wood bandsaws and a metal bandsaw so I guess I will have to settle for what I have. These few tools used to clutter up my metal working shed. Now finally I have room to move in there. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel. Yes mate Velox 600x9 I have several of them laying around the joint, that particular one has a brand new heavy duty tyre on it. If you are ever up this way message me and drop in and I will see you right. PS there are a couple of different styles to them but all are HT Holden pattern.

noelm Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah, there is early Holden which had a ridge around the inside, then HT that was machined flat, but same stud pattern, I do get near there now and then, I will look you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkout this crepe myrtle that my neighbour and I couldn’t kill until I used a whole bottle of roundup on it . It’s been growing in between our fence and damaging the panel - it’s cactus now!

Scratchie Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’ve been doing a few home jobs myself. The wife picked up a free spa that was recessed into someone’s patio. Once removed we brought it home on the trailer. Just needed a frame for it. It took a day! Thought it came up ok! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
