workshop in the back yard
« on: February 26, 2017, 10:53:36 AM »
I've been building me a workshop in the back yard, Lisa got it for me :smitten: Cost her £300 ($375)

Built it on my own, its 10ft x 6ft the hardest part was putting the roof on!

They come premade, flat packed.

Here are a few pictures

Looks great, Bro! I'd suggest some varnish to help protect, it you don't have any on it already.

Nice looking vice.  :thumbup:

You may already know about this YouTube channel that Paul Sellers has, but just in-case that you don't, his link is below. He has lots of great woodworking videos, including a whole series on building a workbench.

Heres The bench front and back.


I added 2 2x3 too each end, on the top at the back I added 2 more 2x3 that can be removed to make a tool well..

The top I used reclaimed builders planks


Lisa got me this electric saw made life so much easier  :thumbup:


I also put this up the other day, keep it a bit tidy ..

Les, looks like you have a great start on a very nice workshop. Your bench looks to be solid and strong... I'm looking forward to seeing what neat projects you come up with in your shop.  :thumbup:

Good looking bench-top table saw Les.  :thumbup:

It's a slippery slope Les! No matter how many tools you have, you'll always need more!  laughing7
