Think I would have a hungry and very large dog locked inside with all that kit in a shed!

Richard - projects are always welcomed.
Ian - let me know when the materials arrive.
PB - a tidy space reveals more places to store more ‘stuff’. You can never have enough ‘stuff’.
Barry and Brian - locked and alarmed but the dog is asleep on the sofa.

You obviously have too much time on your hands, and a very orderly mind. I only tidy my workshop, when i cant find something. Mind you, it is 20x12, so takes some tidying.

Steve you may need extra space for the darts.

Come to think of it, I didn't spot the tatty old arm chair, Oil heater, mini fridge and TV for these odd times when needed!!!!

Oh Brian, you tease!

Old cashier’s chair, oil heater under the bench, radio on the shelf and carpet on the floor. The fridge is in the garage next to the shed.

More pottering in the workshop this week. As well as building another box to store my collection of taps and dies, I started off with a see through wire rack/dispenser. I did have one with the reels stored on a threaded rod but spent too long dismantling it if I needed to take a roll out. The V shaped tray solves that.

Then it was time to put together some pipe work to connect my workshop vacuum to the bandsaw and give me a separate take off for a hose. Proper dust extraction pipe and valves are a tad pricey so I used 40mm pond pipework. There are supposed to be two of those big yellow valves but the supplier forgot to pack the other one. Should arrive this week so I can easily switch between the two options. It’s a bit Heath Robinson, but it works.

You’ll have nothing to do when you’ve sorted everything out Steve. Do like your wire dispenser.

One place we used to live you did not have to lock the shed door. They used to just saw a hole in the back wall.

I've heard of shed roofs being lifted off where the doors and windows have been too hard to break in to.
