Wow that first photo got me hooked :) I'm in Australia too, in Brisbane. Your shed/shop has such a good vibe to it, it obviously gets used and I love all the draws. I'm into photography too and like the black and white shots :)
Re: My "Shop"
Great little work space, way too organised!! makes sense when you have lots of gear, you can fit so much more in once it's in crates and boxes.
I thought it might also be interesting to mention that before I started this project I was part way through working out the costings when I decided to use up some of the 'scrap' timber I had lying around. In the end the only purchase was the bench tops! All the timber and screws/nails/bolts...
Once I had built the frame I added the top and then tested some 'grey' paint I had lying around.
I then added the lower shelf and trimmed off the front edge ( where I know I will rest my feet ) with a hardwood baton I had from a previous project.

So time for a little update. I have purchased some cabinets for storage. At my old place everything was on open shelves and got covered in dust and grime, I really wanted cabinets for the new place.
I found a second hand office furniture shop close to our new house and have become a regular...
There is a lot to like here .... really well done, love the cabinets and the colour you have chosen for some of the bench frames and tool stands is great. Like this a lot! Thanks for sharing.

Love your build, a lot, very inspiring as mentioned above....I have always had a dream of owning a little timber shed in the woods to tinker on bikes, cars and stuff, this ticks a lot of boxes for me :) thanks for sharing.
So that's the old and this is the new ( so far, we don't get access till the 30th of April ) so I only have the plan of attack :)
I am trying to set up in half the space so that I can bring a car in to work on etc.
I hope to divide the bench space into 2 areas, one area for general work and...
Well this is such a great forum and site. Just when you thought you'd seen most things of interest online, you find another.
My name is Cam and I live in Brisbane, QLD Australia. My wife and I have just sold our first home and are about to make a move to our new place with a nice stand alone...
A mate sent me a link to some guy with a cool garage and a black Porsche! I think you know which guy I'm talking about. Over the last few months I have been lurking and drawing inspiration from many wonderful garages & workshops. While I am still finding new pages to follow, the few that have...
