Cheers all, thought I was over thinking it a little. Got to be honest I was gong to make up louvres for the front and two sides, but it started to feel like too much work for what was meant to be a simple structure, also I am starting to run out of materials and begrudge the thought of having...

So I have been building a hutch to get my compressor out of the shed as it is a smaller direct drive unit and freaking loud, which is not appreciated by the rest of the family (downside of an internal access garage) or me when i am in the shed (have been known to wear earmuffs when using for any...

Mine is about 26x20, http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=215513, I would strongly recommend getting the extra depth as 20ft deep is only really just deep enough for your average car.

It is a bit if a work around but this is how I do it as I have no interest in using any of the photo hosting sites. Attach the images to the new post, and then before submitting the reply open the photos full size in a new tab you can then use the insert picture feature to show pictures where...

Woops! Looks like you have exceeded you photobucket bandwith:eyecrazy: Too popular!

Well I have to come clean straight up that I am not much if a wood worker so I am sure I am wrong. The pic was just one from the internet that I grabbed, so not my "jointer". Just want to confirm for my own self interest is this what you guys would call a Planer? As I would have called it...

Colloquial term for what you probably know as a planner.

Thought I would share my drill press as this would not be something you guys would be used to seeing. Tanner, local brand that was manufactured here in New Zealand. I am not sure on the year, but I inherited it from my dad about 7 or 8 years ago and he had it in the farm workshop for all of my...

Here you go Guster. Let me know if you need another shot.

Sweet as. I will get the wife to take a shot with her big camera ( I am not qualified to drive it) so that should be nice and clear for you.

Man these pictures tell a story about the difference in labour costs around the world. A build like this in NZ you wouldn't see any more than two guys most of the rime and you would get laughed at if you suggested erecting the Ribs in the manor you have (to be fair Health & Safety would not...

Splash backs will prob be painted eventually. The original plan for the bench top was to skin them with hardboard, but I am not even sure I will be do that now. I just cant see anything to be gained. just with a coat of paint. The tops and backs are all fine chip chip board which I have...

A few other random picks from around the garage, nothing too special. General garage shots. Still not clean but getting better, and man look at that space! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=304894&stc=1&d=1388456295 Push bikes found a home off the floor, and...

I must say I am so happy that the bench is done as I have been able to grab from storage my Drill Press. It is an old Tanner, which was a locally made item back in its day. It was a hand me down from my father who had it for pretty much as long as I can recall (so that would be 20+ years). I...

So some photos and a bit more of a story. So a couple of garages ago I bought a (realitivly) cheap pallet shelving system as a bit of storage; Now I wasn't too sure what I was going to do with them as they didnt really fit the plan I had for this garage, so while cleaning up I thought it be...
