first workshop build

Arron · 22 Sep 2016

having spent the last few years without so much as a 6x4 shed when we made our move to cornwall earlier this year my first priority was a shed....i wanted a single place where all my tools were.

the shed turned into a workshop and my idea of simply having somewhere to put my tools turned into decision to take up woodwork as a hobby :roll:

having quickly found this forum i can look back and see all the mistakes i made but seeing as i built this on my own (i had help getting the 8x4 sheets on the roof) I'm pretty pleased

Looks like a great space. Totally get the PVC cladding, minimal maintenance which means more time on the good stuff. Only thing I would say is you need more sockets by your bench.

Still very jealous of that much space... I have to make do with a 10x7 and a gazebo.

Nice work! It's very satisfying making a proper space for yourself and being proud of it

Thank you

As I mentioned, when I started building this I wasn't intending to take up woodwork so only have 5 double sockets but I can add another ring onto the consumer unit as I still have a free fuse way

The bench (not that you call it a bench) is going in favour of floor space

Cheers, I've waited a long time to have all my tools in one place

Very nice, looks like a great space.

In Cornwall I suspect you don't get too much snow, but if you do one day I would clear the roof if you can as it looks like you have 4x2s spanning what I guess must be 4m. Maybe the timber is chunkier than it looks to me in the picture, but wouldn't want to see the roof come crashing down.
