Okay, definitely a no for the sawdust then! Saves me a lot of a work and probably a big mess too. Hej Magnus, I actually haven't really looked at the welder too much but it's definitely a model from back in the day. Funny thing with it is that as you can probably see the handlebars (or whatever...

Yea I'm a bit hesitant about reusing the sawdust, but it has pros and cons.. But to be honest I'd rather use a modern insulation. Thanks for the compost tip, my girlfriend will love that :) And with about 8 acres of grass there's plenty of clippings.. I think it does indeed have a lot of...

So, we bought an old farm last autumn, and after some fixing upping we moved in here in the spring. We have a bunch of extra buildings, former stables, one of which had been partially converted into a woodshop. Nothing really fancy, but a very usable space for me. I'm not much of a woodworker...

Yea, there's about 2½ ft of space on the dark side. I have long arms but not long enough to reach all 4 ft ;)

Yea, you're right. It's attached to the wall and I already have the metal straps waiting in the basement. Just need to cut them to the right lenght and screw them in place, but my grinder was at home for some stuff that needed to be done here so I couldn't cut them. It's quite sturdy as it is...

That was quite a writeup, thanks for all your tips! :) I've finally finished the first shelf in the new storage room, much work and little time in the garage lately unfortunately. Anyway I decided this one was going to be my "engine bit and pieces" department. I'm still going to build 3 more...

I finally got started on the new storage room in the basement now.. The first thing was to get some lighting in there.. Before.. And after, much better. I'm moving all the supermarket remains to the small room in the back, and I'll be throwing some stuff away as well. Got my hands on...

I live 45 km outside Boden, right in the middle between Luleå and Jokkmokk :)

So, today I worked on a rolling workbench.. It's not quite done yet, but it works. It came out a bit larger than planned, actually it's pretty gigantic.. About 3x5.5 ft and 40'' high. It's not the best looking thing ever, but I built it from material I had laying around so it didn't cost me...

Actually I hate the floor ;) Or at least the fact that it's speckled like it is, it makes it hard to find stuff if you drop anything. But I guess I can't really complain ;)

Hehe, I usually refer to my part of town as the coldest place on earth as well ;) Our town is divided by one of Swedens largest rivers (about half a mile wide here). My part is kind of a suburb with about 150 inhabitants, the main part of town is on the other side of the river and is also a lot...

$15,000. Fifteen thousand dollars, no typo ;) Like I said, real estate is cheap here.. I bought my house for about the same price. The reason for the low prices is that for most people it's quite unpractical to live here. The town has about 1500 inhabitants spread over a lot of sqr miles. Most...

£150000, wow. In case anyone is wondering, having a relatively large garage doesn't mean I'm rich or anything. Real estate prices over here are ridiculously low, or at least they were a couple of years ago. I paid just under $15000 for this building. I guess it's one of the benefits of living...

Unfortunately I don't. I hardly remember myself what it looked like as a supermarket. It went bankrupt about 5 years ago, a year after I moved here. I bought the building 2 years ago and most of the supermarket stuff had already been removed by then.

The rear half does look a lot like a Willies wagon now that you mention it. This is what a complete one looks like: I'm building a racecar out of mine so there won't be many original parts on it. I'm trying to keep the original look on the outside though, but using lightweight parts. And I'll...
