That sounds like a plan, I better go check out what the local hardware has to mount this up. I'm actually shooting for 3 walls of pegboard, along the back and along either upright frame to maximise storage. Unfortunately I don't have a saw bench so that might be a little hard but a neighbour...

So I'm having some drama's sorting my shed out and finding tools, its gotten to the point that I cant get much done on my projects. I have 2 bays of long span shelving that I've set up so there's 2 work benches on them, I want to add some pegboard to the back and uprights of the main bench but...

Here's my latest little project, built from 2 drawing desks and some other steel I had laying around. The welds are pretty bad as I used the stick welder (for the first time ) and it was thin wall tubing.

A bit of garlic, a bit of butter = delicious! :wtf:

The fridge has come in rather handy, although it doesn't hold a lot. It doesn't help that I've got a Plymouth bodied Desoto on the other side of my double lock up, here's a couple of pics of it. Its a 1930 Essex, the plan is a traditional styled hot rod, most likely channelled. Cheers

Almost forgot, here's the new project

No worries 1/2 cup, here's some photo's of how it ended up inside. The dead fridge in the corner is now my paint storage. The extra storage was great until I bought another project car :lol:

Most of my flammable gear is in an old fridge in the garden shed to keep them out of the way and coolish, less likely to burn down the attached garage that way too.

I had a full race ford 1600 crossflow motor all machined and waiting to be put back together in my closet when I was 15 waiting to go into an Austin Healy Sprite (never eventuated). The closest I came to a closet workshop was an old wooden suitcase full of tools and junk I found and pulled...

Here's where its all at as of today, the front roof panel is made from polycarb sheeting (big mistake). Its just too darn floppy so i've started adding some bracing but it needs a lot more, plus its really hot inside so it will need insulating and ventilation before i can store the flammable...

It looked a bit shabby so we added some garden beds including Australian native plants, a bit of horse poo and some sugar cane mulch. I also started building 2 ramps, one to the front doors and one to the back of the shed that was set up as outdoor storage.

A couple of mates came around and helped with the "barn raising" as they called it, we threw on beers and food in return. Note its a second hand shed and was missing one roof panel.

I then layed 4 x4 metres worth of pavers using pallet wood for the edges, so its not perfect but hey its a rental.

Hey guys and gals, Here's a little project I've been on for way too long, a 3 x3 (metre) garden shed to store my car parts so the cars can actually be worked on. I started out with a patch of dirt where no grass wanted to grow, grabbing the shovel and levelling it out by hand.

Ewwww....vomit bombs!:lol_hitti
