Ken in Australia – Shop Tour
This week’s shop belongs to Ken. He writes:
Here’s my contribution to your new feature on “Shops”, although here in Australia we call them sheds. In Oz, you are sometimes considered less of a man unless you have a Bloke’s Shed (joking of course). In fact there was a TV series a little while ago dealing strictly with “Men’s Sheds” – a popular series in my country. Sheds can be tiny, little more than a cupboard, or huge though you usually find the big ones on farms. My spouse and I recently retired at the ripe old age of 53, built a new house along with a new shed 10m x 6m (about 32 x 20 ft). Like most sheds in Oz, the structure is colorbond steel. I have water, sewage and 3 phase power connected. My plans for the shed include a new 8″ jointer, dust collection system (purchased but not yet set up), and a few other nice-to-have tools. My main interest at the moment is fine boxes, but SWMBO has me making a few furniture pieces, as well as being her labourer in the garden. A lot of work to do in the garden as you can see from the pictures.
