This is the first of a series and includes a (very) rough floor plan - click on it to read it; it's not as cluttered as it looks – I hope to improve my ‘Sketchup’ skills.
The Shed was purpose-built as a Workshop – at the time I had a small 1-car garage that got flooded every time we had even a shower of rain. It was made as large as it could be, based on the room we had, and what our local council would allow.
Size.............: 24’ deep x 18’ wide (usable), 8'-9" High - floor to the underside of thr roof trusses.
Power..........: 2 x 15amp circuits 240v 50Hz (standard Oz power), switchboard in the Shed.
Access.........: Automatic 18’ door with sound absorbing insulation; and a regular rear door.
Floor.............: Painted concrete
Construction: Exterior Brick, interior 2x4 frames lined with ½” MDF.
Ceiling.........: None – Roof trusses left open for overhead storage. Tile roof.
Lighting.......: 7 x twin 4’ fluorescent tubes, 2 skylights. Some spot lighting over the bench and elsewhere. No windows.
Heating/cooling: Overhead fan and 2 small electric heaters – we have a very mild climate in Melbourne – all year.
Dust collection: One Shopvac “permanently” attached to the table saw, and another that follows me from tool- to-tool. A 1HP DC attached to the Jointer/thicknesser.
Subsequent posts: I will start on the left (DP) and proceed around the walls to the Grinder. Finishing up with the stuff in the center of the Shed. I will take pics of the stuff on the walls as well, as I move around. I will comment on anything notable…
WARNING – you may notice some dust.

O.K. you have our curiosity up. When are the rest of the pics coming??
It must be in that larger building to the left!
) I cut them to size and she "overlocks" the cut edges.
