Hi Gail, welcome aboard. Your facebook liks don't seem to work for me, but as a tip i recommend using the tags for posting images so they show up like this. You can click on the symbol when writing your post to bring the tags up. instead of this...

Just the add to what was mentioned above. The perforated bar material used in the first bench is left over from AXE telephone exchange installations, we used to have a bit left over from every telephone exchange I used to build and extend. The stuff is made by Ericsson and very handy for...

Well spotted. We used to have so much left over from building AXE exchanges that one day the boss said, "All that **** can go to the tip". So I loaded up the truck and drove it home instead. No tip fees, no problems. System 12 sucked because it was basically plug and play so there wasn't really...

Lots of tidy up yesterday, with more to come. Today was spent driving to town to get more building supplies - plywood, timber and some flat pack pantry cupboards for the wife - and then assembling cupboards for her craft room.

Re: Sheddwellers. (The Extension). Cool.

That's awesome work

They are pretty good, but you could probably make them up easy enough. Very simple construction. They look the same but they're actually slightly different. One uses timber joined together to make flat boards for the outer shell while the other uses plywood. The shelves are solid timber though...

Unfortunately, here in Australia we don't get the same sort of easy to assemble bench kits that you guys overseas seem to get. The only kits we see are so wobbly and unstable that I'd feel uneasy about putting a carton of beer on them, let alone anything substantial, and they cost about $300. I...

Today was all about finishing the new bench. I'll do a separate thread on the bench build but it's come up very nice. Here's the finished product. I've built it around two existing wooden drawer sets I managed to rescue from one of my old employers when they were going to bin them. I...

It is a great space, but it makes me sad that I haven't used it to it's full potential yet. When I think about all the car projects I've done with so much less, I just shake my head. I've got all the tools and space that I need, now I just need to get it organised so I can use it to it's...

Wow, sound like an exciting jobsite. Hope everything goes well in the future. Looks to be an interesting build

So we managed to finish off the roof today and take another load of **** to the tip (old roofing panels and such). The difference is amazing. Before After So happy with the result and it cost me just under $350 to do. We managed to get a start on the new work bench today. All the hard...

Yeah, ****** hard work doing all that by hand. Nice going with the framing. It's looking good.

LOL. Love the fire. Did anyone complain?

Re: Sheddwellers. (The Extension). Just as long as the bad luck doesn't pass to you

Yeah, that's my Dillion 650. Fantastic press. I mainly shoot my 9mm Glock in IPSC competition, but I've also got a couple other pistols. It's my hobby away from cars :bounce:

He's a good old bloke, but he's one of those guys that likes to give a running commentry of everything he's doing or about to do. Don't get him on the phone or he'll talk your ear off for hours. But friendly as anyone you've ever met and will do anything for you, regardless of whether you want...

Good start

Hopefully the puddles will be a thing of the past shortly. :) 80'x40' is a decent size.

We did alright today. One side of the roof fixed. It took us a while to get organised. My father-in-law was helping me and while he's pretty handy he's getting old and you have to watch what he's doing. Nearly put his full body weight on the polycarbonite panels a couple times. I ended up...
