hi guys great forum
especially the shed section, altho i am not keen on the woodwork side still alot of great stuff for me to look at on here.

i am from launceston Tasmania
looking at lining out my new shed (well about a year old) just for workshop use and car storage. with the view to hold a party or two in. would like some tips on doing this was thinking of framing the walls, insulation and ply so i can screw in hooks brackets etc
if anyone has some pics of this process or a how to would be tops

i have a woodheater to go in being in a colder climate, but using a gas heater for the time being. but working in a woodheater store wont be long till the woodheater is in.

G'day tufhdt and welcome to the shed!!

Ask questions and have fun.

More Taswiegens where the best woods come from draw up a stool and browes away grab a brew too.

I don't know you blokes with heating cooling fridges stoves all manner of creature comforts, next our military types will want that in their fox holes.

Take a look at the Shed thread many an idea in there.

Most people travel north. Reasons could be work, partner or just lost your mind.




Sorry Tassie.

Hi tufhdt welcome to the forums!
You & i are in the same boat, in the same little river. lol.
I'm not far from you, being in Deloraine, i grew up in QLD & yes my shed is bloody cold too!
I'll be very interested myself in the answers that get posted regarding lining out a shed. I've just installed a drum heater in my shed which helps heaps & finally allows me to do some woodworking in my shed thru the winter.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I would put up a thread in the shed section and I am sure you will get plenty of advice there.

U moved SOUTH I am originally a L'ton lad, I was never a fan of the cold hence my move nth, I would have 3 pairs of prewarmed explorer socks, prewarmed Blunnies, traky daks, flanno's, jumpers (thick hand knitted wool jobs) beanny, overalls, jacket on before I ventured out away from the heater to the shed. I could probably only manage to go back for the summer now, anyway welcome to the forum

Welcome tuffy, I would go south for your beautifull timber but would certainly want the centraly heated workshop. Even here in sunny Newcatle at a barmy 6-7c morning I take a while to get moving and then by evening I have doned the beanie putting heating on again.
Love to see some photos of your garage and the heater when installed.

Sorry, misread your name.....
You must get sick of bad Tassie jokes

Most Tasmanians are not loony at all... are they?
And the rest of Australia can't work out how blackwood trees in tassie grow so well, in NSW they die young and are eaten by grubs
Welcome!

Hi TUFHDT,

I'd have a good think about having a wood heater in a woodworking exposure. First it takes up a hell of a lot of space if you quarantine a safe area around it to be kept free of all timber. Second it is a real fire hazard unless you maintain a very high level of dust hygiene right through your shed. You won't be able to use contact adhesives nor solvent based polishes in the same room unless you want to have your own little Hiroshima! plus you will be wondering each night when you leave the shed if there are any sparks outside the heater lurking there to undo your favourite place. I've been to a fair number of workshop fires with our local volunteer fire brigade over the years and if there's one common theme reported by the owners it's to comment on the amazing speed with which the fire propagated through the whole structure once commenced. The progagation medium is of course dust on the horizontal surfaces.The presence of an ungodly range of liquid flammables adds it's little bit also. Expanding on that topic if you have a bench grinder and steel wool in the same woodworking workshop then take one of them outside before dinner and leave it there. Steel wool and sparks are mutually incompatible. Steel wool should be classed as flammable goods.

It's a side issue but you won'y be able to secure commercial insurance for your gear with a wood heater in you workshop

Good Luck

my real name is Adam

um moved south wifes family is from deloraine
know the place well.

regarding the woodheater, i mainly putting it in due to how cold it is and the fact that i dont do much woodworking at all.

i mainly work on my car a HDT Brock commodore
i am not skilled on the bodywork and paint side so fumes shouldnt be a real issue.
work on the garden and maybe some parties and workouts in the shed!

we will probably eventually move north again but not to brisbane probably sunshine coast or like

i also really like fishing too

one last thing could you put rondo channels up to secure ply too?
instead of wooden studs etc
thats what they use for plaster board

going to use ply as i found a cheap supply

cheers adam

Greetings from Dover Tassie....just love Tassie

YOUR SHED: set your framing up to fit your sheet material and leave plenty of room for insulation, maybe try sawdust,...right price ! and don't forget if you build a lean to with clear roofing you can get all that solar gain. If you have a sunny wall, drums painted black with rocks in them will let out the heat during the night....good for when you are in the dog house
cheers
