Great bit of recycling, well done
My new years resolution,was to stop using holidays for making things and actually have time off relaxing.This sheds been going no for ages, so getting it finished seemed more appealing than sparing my holidays.
I've now got 5 holidays left for the entire year, but atleast I'm not continually stressing over how I'm gonna find time to finish everything :lol: The fun part now, is trying to figure out how to furnish the inside and make the most of the space (or lack of)
I used a waterbased flooring adhesive (Evostick) it's absolutely terrible and still feels sticky after 5 days !!! I'm having to tip toe around at the moment standing on sheets of mdf. I'm soooooo looking forward to cider and rugby in the shed :lol:
Cheers

Thanks Peter. Did a bit more to the inside.pollys13":33aeynpx said:
I found these old wooden g clamps ages ago. Riddled with worm holes, so I bagged them up and put them in the freezer- 6 weeks or so later, I remembered they were there. A couple big screws to the studwork and they seem quite sturdy.
I got the Toyota out last night to make some curtains.
Didn't snap any needles last night, and got the foot to the floor on a few of the long runs [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
I sew blackout fabric to the material and left 6 inchs so I could turn it inside out.
Punch some holes for the eyelets and used some rebar and shotgun cartridges for the pole/brackets
I really like the fabric despite my mate saying it looks hideous.
Last up is a small side table that's a very much work in progress.
Started off 170mm thick, planed down to 100mm - 3mm at a time.
Flattened roughly with the handplaner
Finished off on the thicknesser.
I wanted to get a finish on it asap, so oiled it within a couple hours. I oiled the bottom and was surprised when I looked out the other side
It had sucks it right through the other side in places !
It's under a pile of weights now with a piece of tin glued to the bottom to try and hold it together.
It appears the misery of having a part finished shed is over and now the fun part begins !!
Once the tables done, this corner needs sorting out next
I think it might look better putting the t.v in a cupboard. Sketchbook, cider with the curtains pulled tonight [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

All very ingenious, your a very talented chap.
The tin roof, won't it ding a bit when it rains, even with the insulation I think you put on? Season is changing, though in winter, cold, condensation? Though perhaps not with your woodburner.
Enjoy your shed mate
Ps been setting up my planer and adjusting the fence on the moulder. Ordered a Metabo conversion kit for the planer and a 10 pack of knives, can resharpen resharpenable knives rather than chuck the disposable ones Also got a Rider spokeshave today and a couple of spare blades.
To use for cleaning up spindle templates can also for electric guitar necks.
By the way Coley, nice woof, woof.

Very kind of you to say Peter, but Pinterest has played a big part tbh. Back in the day I'd have had to save folders of ideas, but Pinterest makes ideas much easier. Regarding your template making, I'd say don't over complicate it. Keep your template material relatively thin, then a fine toothed jigsaw blade, or a bandsaw blade will make things alot easier. You'll be surprised how close you can cut to a line if you take it steady.
I've got a double glazed batch of windows to make in the next few weeks. All completey square, besides stop champfers, it's just a shame they want trickle vents. It would have been an ideal job for a 'how to', it's just the trickle vents make the frame head detail a bit more complicated than it needs to be
Don't suppose your windows will have trickle vents ?

" Don't suppose your windows will have trickle vents ? " I looked into it some time back, can't remember, if building regs require them, in like for like replacements, perhaps not. In new design, going in as replacement perhaps they do, will have to find. At the time, all I could think of was routing a groove and putting some kind of plastic grill on..... which really won't do. As and when I'm ready to do some dry runs as well as practice on your windows. Perhaps you could give me a few pointers for incorporating vents into the design?
I was setting up the blade drift on the bandsaw the other day..... 1st time I've used it... duh, kept quite close to the line but not neat enough for a template, though think after a few more goes should be OK and get handy with the spokeshave.
Woof woof looks spoilt rotten

I can only say, a decent bandsaw blade makes the world of difference. If you've ever any doubts on what blade to buy, tuffsaws will sort you right out. Trickle vents are fairly straightforward logically. Your head needs a slots for air to pass from the inside to the outside. Easiest/Naffest way is to have a plastic cover on the inside, and on the outside. It's gets more complicated when you try and replace the outside 'naff' plastic, with a wooden alternative (like the picture).

Several people said to patronise Tuffsaws as he's a knowledgeable, nice bloke and sold quality blades.I told him exactly what I wanted to use the blades for, he sorted out a couple.He also gave me some plastic covers to protect the teeth. The vent cover in your tutorial was neat.
Managed to finish off the table.
Used a step drill to make some holes in the tin- They drill really well in just metal, but the wood made it a right chore. I found a couple rusty metal rollers,which seem about the right height for the table.
Drilled the holes to take the legs.
Rebated the bottom to take a piece of angle iron for securing to the wall.
Attacked the new floor to locate the legs. I ummed and ahhed just gluing the legs, but thought if they got kicked, they might snap the table.
Legs and angle iron in place- managed to catch 3 studs so hopefully just screwing will hold it firm.
A few screws up through the angle iron,through the tin and into the wood.
So far the wood seems to be behaving, unlike the walls- getting a few gaps where the woods shrinking, so will leave for a few months before caulking and...touching up [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
Next project for the inside is a cupboard to store bits and pieces.
Think I've found most bits I need- just need to find motivation !
