Very impressive layout and I like the wood mounting for hanging different tools on and you can slide along to different positions, what do you make in your shed?
Well I'm quite new to woodworking, in fact my first project was building the workshop.
Then I spent some time making benches and french cleats so that the workshop was useable.
So only recently have I started making stuff. I've made a few little boxes and stuff with dovetail joints just to learn but my current project is a cutting board for a friend's wedding present. The wedding was two years ago but we always joke about the fact that I first had to build a workshop in order to make his present and so it's taking a while.... Also I'm quite slow because I tend to bite off more than I can chew and usually end up maxing out the complexity, despite being a beginner.
I am not far off finishing the cutting board and so far so good. Here is current progress:

This is one of the prototypes to see if my idea to inlay a curve into the board would work.

Mine looking much tidier today than normal. After 5 years of running it from an extension cable I had proper electrics run out to it last week, which resulted in moving stuff about inside, hence it’s tidier but big boards yet to be lifted back on the high rack.

Here’s my shed after I’d tidied it. I have a woodworking side and a metalworking side to try to stop wood things getting grubby, and try to stop the machines and engineering tools getting covered in sawdust. It didn’t really work.

Your milling machine is an interesting looking bit of kit, whose the maker?

There are two, a 1930s Burke no4 horizontal mill, which I mostly use as a “table saw” for metal, and to the left a Dore Westbury Mk1 vertical mill.
 
12 foot by 11 foot. Not cleaned at all before taking the pictures :)
