Kirby’s Shed: 6. Disk sander+

[RodKirby]

This completes the "around the walls" tour.




This is the "Shopvac" that follows me around - DP, router tables, BS.

The Disk sander is a Festo that LOML bought me as a B'day gift - a gazillion years ago

A ruler with a handle - that's a new one on me. Must have come like that, the level sight-vials are part of the handle.

And that 2-drawer white file cabinet - doesn't match! Rod, you're slipping.

Ha! I wondered who it would be...

It's actually a pale beige - and when LOML forced me to renovate my home office there REALLY was nowhere else to put it

Yes the ruler did come like that - another one of those "gee, that could be useful", that has never been taken off the wall

Didn't you tell her it was perfect for storing quilt paterns and quilting supplies

Oh, I did - unfortunately her quilt "room" is only about 1/4 of the size of my Shed - a fact that will no doubt be inscribed on her tombstone

The pics are great. Lots of good ideas.

I hate to ask....but is that MDF for the sheathing?

1/2" MDF on 2x4 wall frames - the builder did the frames, I did the lining

MDF veneer?

[RodKirby]

MDF veneer?

Ha! NO...

New hardwood floor (replacing carpet), painting etc. - LOADS of fun moving everything out/back

And NO - I didn't make the drawers or the desk - not worth the effort/cost.

Find that a little hard to believe that you didn't make your own desk and drawers, specially seeing all those drawers / cabinets / cupboards / work benches / etc in your shop!

How often do you use biscuits when you make something with MDF? Do they hold up well enough?

Never! Rabbets, glue and nails/screws.
