After a great 10 days holiday in Thailand I was dead keen to get back in the workshop before I went back to work. As I walk in I'm greeted by half sheets of ply everywhere and timber stood up as there's no where else to keep it in the dry. When you meet this mess it doesn't make you want to do anything!
I'm very sure that no matter how much space I have I'll fill it, but I do desperately need somewhere to store timber and sheet material. I decided that it was best to build a little lean to on the side of my workshop to house my ply off cuts and some of the hardwoods and softwoods I've got kicking around.
A simple construction of halving joints for the frame (cut on the mitre saw, then chiseled out and cleaned up with my no.778). I do think that I might have gone a little over the top on the sizes of the timbers though (4x2 and 3x2) but it's made it quite strong!
Good idea I'm inspired! I always end up surrounded by material's no matter how often I tidy up . Cheers mate
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good solution! I'm short on storage myself.
ReplyDeleteGorges - I've no doubt I'll fill it as I'm a horder but it should help for now.
ReplyDeleteBrian - how big is your workshop? Its difficult to tell on your blog. glad its given you an idea to make working in there easier.
My workshop is 10'x6' its big enough for what I make at the moment, but one day I would like the one pictured in my head :)
