Small Seppo shed tour
Well, while everyone is having a smoko at 's, I thought I'd sneak in a few pics of my wee shed. The shed measures about 4.5M by 8.5M.
Pic 1 is viewing front on. The small table in front is my sheet goods cutting table I banged together from 4X2s and banquet table legs. Pocket screws and no glue, so replacing pieces is easy peasey if they get too tired.
Pic 2 shows my brilliant Triton Superjaws and behind my assembly table (with Rotex on board). The table is made from Norm's NYW plan--torsion box with MDF top. On wheels for easy mobility. Made to act as an outfeed table when required.
Pic 3 is my clamp rack (need more clamps!), also mobile, and the DeWalt SCMS and stand. A couple of storage shelves for odds and sods.
Pic 4 shows the router table (Rockler top, shop-made stand) CT22, PC compressor, and GMC drill press. PC892 router in the table. That is a Festo OF1000 in the systainer underneath, used for hand routing. Can barely see the GMC DC bag in lower left. Moves between the TS and router table.
Pic 5 Hitachi contractor-grade TS with Incra Mitre3000 and Incra sled.
Here and there and piled around are all the portable power tools and nailers. Bosch hand-planer, PC biscuit joiner (for sale, cheap), a huge Milwaukee hammer drill when serious holes are needed.
Notice, no jointer, thicknesser or bandsaw.I am edge-jointing using shims on the router table, which works pretty well. Thicknessing with the Bosch planer, which is hit or miss. Bosch jig saw for cutting curved pieces.
Next major tool: Domino. Due to arrive in less than a month now.After that, a thicknesser, but running out of room. I have a largish tile saw and a small finishing station in the actual garage attached to the house (Shed Annexe). All cars park outside at all times.
I know it's a mess.Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Bob

I'd remove the pics before we ban you from the forums for being way too neat and clean.
Any chance of a video ?

I agree - looks like a really good 'shop (I wish I had that much room) - the 'mess' is the consequence of it being used...
Workshops are like desks - a clean one is the sign of a sick mindCheers

I'm with Gumby on this... where's the bloody sawdust, cobwebs, dead mouse, paint/oil stains & piles of little off cuts?
Very tidy little outfit, I would NOT fit into it or in with it.
Up here, (down here for you Bob) we would be VERY nervous about that overhanging branch.... it wouldn't last 5 minutes before it was whipped off & turned into something more useful than a potential hole in the roof.
What do you think of you Dewalt SCMS?
Bunnies in Cairns has a couple of 12" ones for $1100 & something maybe $1149 or $1189.
They have one out on display next to a Makita 10".
They are big but they look good.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Small Seppo Shed Tour???
Exactly how small are you Bob?????
Its hard to get any sense of scale from the photos, are we talking Hobbit size here or just plain short ass?

Entirely too clean!
Totally unacceptable!
And you have nowhere near enough clamps. Nice to see a few things on wheels, though. And a desk! With drawers! You've got a bunch of bowls and vases in that branch, too. Now you need a lathe.

Very nice setup Bob!
That trundle table is great. I based my old outdoor workbench after seeing that episode of Norm's show, except I didn't put wheels on mine.
cheers

Nice Festo gear.... do you have the ROS?

What a groovy little shed Bob. Eying off that Dewalt saw of yours I am.

No worries about the branch. It is actually well away from the shed, it's just the camera perspective. That is a maple tree, BTW.
The DeWalt SCMS is very solid (Model 708). But I'm told the new ones (with side-by-side rails rather than over-and-under) are somewhat less solid.
Thanks Wendy. The wheels work a treat for moving around in that small space. Then, just pull the ropes on each end to retract the wheels, lift up on each end to let them down again.
That is a Rotex 150 lying on the assembly table. I currently have only the Rotex, OF1000 router and CT22 vac. Domi will be here soon.
Thanks everyone for looking.Cheers,
Bob
