Shed deconstruction in progress. Child labour deployed. Made a start on the reimagined version, just getting everything in the right position at this point. Loads of work to the frame to reinforce and strengthen it due to the slate roof going on. Reclaimed all of the shiplap from the back...

So into the end of March, time to tackle the North Face. The metal cladding is all going in the recycling skip. So the plan is to move the grey shed onto the back wall and turn it into a lean to with a single pitch roof. Next to it on the wall I'll build a tool store cupboard for the garden...

Back in February we had a bit of good weather and I managed to get the final half of cladding off the back wall of the shed. Only the one photo. It was all much the same story as the other half. The timbers are in good condition so it was all wrapped in Tyvek insulated and boarded out inside...

I had thought that COVID-19 lockdown would be a good chance to crack on but I wasn't furloughed and ended up even busier than normal. Sigh. Mrs B said it’d be nice if the shed was more of a usable space. At some point I had not posted about I divided the spaced into two equal halves with a...

Some proper roll cage going on there. I like it :thumbup: Workshop looks great, loads of space to make cool stuff.

Great thread, you're a brave man taking all of that on. I am sure you'll get there, progress so far looks good.. That is a lot of cool trucks!

Re: The Concrete might be Underground but I'm not. I've been getting architectural concrete withdrawal symptoms :eyecrazy: Like others, I'm looking forwards to seeing some updates in 2018!

Thanks, I always enjoy your updates too :thumbup: So here is the tube that we tried to bend on the pipe bender, it just creased up: Fitted the draw slides with some temporary rivets so I could progress the build. I need to have a think about what I can use as a thin low friction surface...

Thanks both. Not made much more progress on the cart. I had some friction slides but have gone off the idea of those and bought some 45kg rated ball bearing slides today instead. I also went to hire a tube bender as I was intending to do a tube based super structure for the cart. Problem was...

Great progress - that trailer restoration is fabulous workmanship.

Great garage. I really like the sheet metal baseboard - it really ties the floor into the rest of the room. The display cabinet is neat too.

Here's to hoping that we might see some updates in 2018 ;)

Looking great! The wall art works well, very in theme with the rest of your space!

Great looking space with some nice cars!

Bit more progress on the TIG Trolley today. I bought some 50 x 50mm 3mm box and some 40 x 40mm 3mm angle to make the next sections. First up was a chassis rail. Had to hole saw it for the swaged hole in the deck and also for the axle to pass through. Next up was the bottle base. I wanted to...

You can never have enough work surface. Keeping it clutter free is the challenge.

A few months back I bought my first TIG welder, a Lincoln Electric V205-T AC/DC unit as I'd like to get into doing some stainless and aluminium welding. A job I am working up to is adapting the 2" bore stainless Peugeot Sport exhaust system to the 2.5" header manifold. After some looking I...

Did a few little jobs tidying around the garage since I modded the workbench above, including making a paper towel holder. The curled rod were the lower front seat belt mounts out of the red rallye. With a bit of chop page and some threads tapped on they've been given a new lease of life...

The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming... means garage time and some retrospective updates :thumbup: I've been working on the red rallye, lots of rust repairs and Peugeot Sport build manual mods done. Engine and box in for mock up purposes and test fitted for the throttle bodies. Just...

Great stuff, the most memorable garage time is shared with family :thumbup:
