This weekend I started a little project, and surprisingly finished it too. made a windscreen washer bottle which fits the factory mounts in a mk1 golf.

I finally got around to welding the exhaust for the bike. Took me a while to piece together what I needed to back purge the pipe, probably unnecessary at my current skill level but I wanted to do it anyway. These two pics show about 95% of all the stainless steel welding I've ever done, most of...

The fact that so many rivers have run dry, the bush is much drier than usual I guess... Makes it burn faster! I love the tailgate bench, I've started unpacking boxes of old car and motorbike magazines, most of which have been packed away since 2003... The bench gives me somewhere to sit and read.

It's brutal watching the country burn! tough times for so many communities!

I made this air filter arrangement for my mate's vw. Started with a CAD (Cardboard Aided Design, if you've never watched project binky on YouTube I recommend you do) template, transferred that to some ali sheet, folded it in my new little Chinese pan break and then added the necessary inlet and...

Here's a few other things I've been working on in recent months, in no particular order... I saw a video on YouTube where a guy made this 'third hand' thingo, I liked the look of it so made my own. I picked up a cheap little smart TV, handy for YouTube and (once I sort the aerial) the...

It's been far too long between updates! Realistically I've been busy with everyday life and neglected the shed for a while, but the Xmas break always offers me the opportunity to tidy up and work on a few things. one of the first things I've done is add to my fabrication table, I suspect this...

I finally got around to finishing the little tables off, very happy with how they turned out. The problem I've had, which is far from a bad thing, is too many projects... I've been doing little bits of lots of things. the best part of all of this is simply spending quality time in this great...

Another little project I've been working on... We've needed a couple of little side tables for the lounge room for a couple of years now... I finally got the ball rolling. my wife showed me what she wanted and I think I nailed it. obviously it isn't finished yet, and the second one is only about...

I haven't posted in a little while, but many things have been happening in that time... I made a start on the custom stainless exhaust for my sr500. I haven't made a final decision on exactly how the exhaust will sit, but I'll play around with the bends and see where it ends up... I also had...

thanks guys. Gb - i couldn't resist... normally i wouldn't buy anything from SCA but a friend had done the same thing and i loved the idea.

What I have been working on is making the whole place feel more like a 'mam cave' than a shed... I've started putting up some posters/pictures etc. on the walls. Some of these were on my bedroom wall as a teenager so I've really enjoyed seeing them again! This bike was a cheap buy which I...

It's been far too long between updates. The fact is, in the last 5-6 months I've found very little time do get into the shed, and when I have it's just been a constant process of juggling things around to tidy up and make space! I'm hoping the next few months will be quite the opposite with...

great to see this thread pop back up again. that floor looks excellent!!

Today my new lights finally went up! I borrowed a lightweight mini scaff from work which made the job really easy... Before and after pic, this corner of the shed had a mezzanine when I started, so there was no light at all, now it's much better!!!
