Hi,
What a lovely hide away David and all so neat. I can just see you spending many hours in there in total harmony with yourself; have you tidied up before taking the pictures because it would be a shame to have a session on the lathe and mess it all up again.
As a wood turner the band-saw really is a must for roughing out blanks and how does the lathe perform on the wooden bench? I hope Jamie is taking notice as Jamie is just setting up his new shed.
I too hate the cold wet weather and I thought last winter would never end; it is still much too cold for comfort in my workshop unless I put the heating on but then it remains cool even in high summer. My shed is full of gardening equipment and fuel for the lawnmower and hedge trimmer also the wheel barrow takes up a lot of space.
Like you David I always garage our car and as the garage houses all my big machinery I have had to paint a white line along the garage floor which guides me in without hitting a machine; I drop the window and stick my head out whilst reversing keeping the tyres close to the line; this actually works very well.
Thanks for adding this interesting thread and I'm sure it will encourage others to either build a shed or spend time making their shed more homely. Does Jennifer bring you a pot of tea and biscuit out?
Kind regards, Col.
