Sounds good Rusty, I'm a joiner by trade, but mainly make and fit bespoke kitchens, utility rooms and wardrobes. my shed is 6m x 6m sq but as a hobby I restore vintage bikes and scooters, while making the odd kitchen for people, My biggest problem while woodworking in the shed is the dust...

Hi Rusty, I'm a new member as well, I posted a couple of projects myself and got some great feedback. Good bunch of lads. how big is your shed and what sort of projects are you thinking of?

A friend of mine here in Ireland inherited a house in Brighton last year. He got me to make the kitchen for him and he took it over in his van,3 weeks later he asked would I fly over and fit it so I told him 2 days 500 euro, So he near snapped my hand off, he sorted flights and food for the...

White boards fitted, units filled.

If your hand painting you can get away with a lot less sanding, a spray gun finish shows up every imperfection. If you have a lot of edges showing then a moisture resistant MDF is a bit more expensive but half the work getting the edges clean.

I just saw the pic, I think its U-POL easy sand body filler, same as Isopon and p38 just a smoother blend to avoid pin holes from air bubbles that are created when mixing. I wouldn't say its slaped on for bad workmanship its actually a great sealer for the ends of MDF. If you do not seal the...

The auto body fillers are great on painted wooden finishes, but never tried to use it on a wood finish I'm not sure it it would take stains? If your screwing it wooden plugs glued in with the grain going the same way are fairly discrete

Thank you Custard, comments like that make all the time and effort worth while. I just wanted to make something a bit different, my daughter posted a few pics on snapchat and Facebook and the feedback was unreal,

I had the exact same problem a while ago Brian, a customer wanted the same set up in her kitchen with a real old bakers mixer (not a thicknesser) that was very heavy. We ended up getting an under counter integrated ironing board and modified it, fixed a 40mm worktop for the shelf and it worked...

A few better pics!

Sounds like a good idea Tim.

Sure was Steve, there was a few problems to overcome. Biggest problem was floor being 40mm off level and I didn't want a gap under the wall because my extractor might suck in dust while spraying

I didn't have this set up when I sprayed the camper bed and I was a full day cleaning up over spray, so I can fold out the walls now and it's a separate room but still have the option of the full shed

The dark side of the workshop

another option with granit, if you get a slab 3m by 500mm in one colour and then put a 500mm border all round in a different colour it will make up your size and it will take the plain look off such a big work surface also easier to lift in, we did it once a black middle with white border but no...
