Fair enough. The shed has insulation and 9mm OSB around the inside too, but it still wouldn't take too much to get in.

Hmm, you're probably right. I was thinking of security with the hidden hinges, but T hinges probably make more sense construction wise. Thanks for your input!

Yeah, that sounds similar to what I have. I've never picked up a hardwood door so no idea how heavy they are, but it sounds like it could be asking for issues. I just found the door in the link below... was thinking I could make something like that using 2x4s and t&g and I'd still be able to use...

Haha, I've not opened the 2nd door for probably 3 years so I think I should be good!

It's a fairly standard 10' x 8' timber shed. I'd have to frame it out and make it nice and strong. It has 2 doors at the moment so it would be an entirely new section of frame to hang the door from, and I'd have to redo the shiplap on that side. You think a hardwood door would be too heavy?

Makes sense, I'll take a look at the door and see if it looks doable. If I decide to go for it I'll make sure I do the door before I even think about the frame!

Thanks chaps, a friend has a hardwood external door that I can have. It's 199cm tall and I would need to cut about 5cm off the top and bottom as my max height is about 190cm.

Hi there, My shed doors are pretty warped and don't shut properly, plus I keep banging my head on the top. I was thinking of making a door frame out of 2x4s and fitting a wood external front door instead. I'd have to trim it as a standard door would be too tall but I think it would be much more...

This is simple? I'd love to see your more complex work! Looks amazing!

Well I managed to get the Record No. 5 recommended by Grayorm above for £32, thanks for all the helpful opinions!

Thanks for the recommendations on the Wickes vac guys, think I might pick one up. For 40 quid you can't go far wrong! Between this and a new respirator mask my lungs will be very grateful! Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks marcros, those look like just the kind of thing I was looking for... saves me starting another thread! I'll do some research and read the reviews on the ones you suggested.

Thanks, I'll check the Lidl one out. I've been using fairly cheap 3M respirator masks but I want to get a proper respirator too.

Hey guys, I work in a 10' x 8' shed and have never used any kind of dust extraction :oops: I always wear a mask but I really need to do something to reduce the amount I breathe in. I've been looking at shop vacs to keep the shed tidy as I currently just sweep the mess up (and breathe even...

Yeah I've seen other threads on sharpening... can of worms!

I might have a crack at this one, thanks... if one of you guys doesn't beat me too it! Thanks again for all your input, I'll make sure to post what I end up with and I'm sure I'll be asking what the hell to do with it!

Thanks tobytools, I'm watching a few old Record ones on ebay too. I wasn't referring to the £50 when I said how expensive they can be, more the £150+ that people are suggesting as budget planes and the £300+ ones I've seen on my searches :shock:

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll look out for a No. 5 Stanley probably. I've seen them refurbed and honed for under £50 so I'm hoping it will be okay... I can't believe the prices some planes go for! Thanks again.

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while and thought it was time to make my first post. I've been building my collection of power tools for a while now and have been neglecting hand tools up until now. I've just moved house and have a shiny new 10 x 8 shed as a workshop courtesy of my...
