Since rebuilding the outside of the shed, I have been steadily converting it into a hobby workshop. There has been no real plan and the project has grown like Topsy.
I’ve posted and commented on progress across a number of threads but thought it was about time that I bought it together in one place (actually, it’s a dull lockdown evening made worse by the weather so just making use of the spare time. ;) ).

It started with the painting workbench. The modular storage is the same stuff that Hattons sell but I sourced mine direct from the manufacturer in Poland. Even with postage it worked out cheaper although that would not be the case now.

I had always done loco servicing and decoder fitting in the railway room on a shaky old computer desk that was slowly falling apart. I saw the opportunity to build a second workbench next to the paint bench, specifically for electrical work.

Since these pictures were taken, most of the tools hanging on the wall above the bench have been relocated to one of the other walls where they can’t do any damage if they fall down.

I’ve added some storage drawers for railway parts, screws and tools.

And I added a couple of extra tools.

My task for today was to sort out the cr#p that had migrated to the highest shelf in the shed - pulling it all down, cleaning it and then realising that there was a really cold wind circulating around the roof.
So before I put the stuff back on the shelf I sprayed the gap between the top of the shed inner walls and the floating insulated ceiling.
Nice and toasty now. ;)

All looks very impressive Steve, but way too tidy for a workshop.......need to find you some work to do to mess it up again.

When you're finished yours you can come and do a one for me in Washington! I'm sure it is an essential journey :D

My layout is in the cold garage - too cold to venture into so you're lucky and making me very jealous! :mrgreen:

Well done you.

Looks brilliant, I must do a 'spring tidy' and get more organised. Space is a problem as my shed is just about full (3 tier layout plus tools etc etc) and where did I leave that pliers? - crash :lol: Although a tidy space gives more room, I guess.
