My Journey from Garden Shed to Workshop

In this Workshop Chat I travel back in time as I take you through the process I took to convert my Garden Shed into a workshop and filming studio. It may not be perfect but it's mine!
Hope you enjoy!!

Your lighting is terrific, and I love the look of all of your old hand-tools. A very handsome shop. Sharing space with garden supplies, storage items, etc... is something that I'm always dealing with in my garage. Bicycles are the worst. My wife just can't part with our adult children's bikes for some reason. They don't even want them, cause they have cars! :-) I would really enjoy watching you create some boxes with different joinery. Little boxes, or large, it doesn't matter. Take care.

[@AussieWoodshed]

Thanks@@Gazman299 for sharing your storage struggles and for taking the time to watch. I will put some boxes on the video ideas list!

Enjoyable and informative viewing, thank you.

Beautiful shop. Thank you for sharing and welcoming us inside. Love all the shelves on walls. Doubled sheet bench is great. Side benches like that are great. Make a bit of a mess without worry there like when sharpening.

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@FearsomeWarrior Thanks, yes it's always good to have space to keep mess off the main workbench

[@paulleary1775]

Well done on utilising with what you have!

Always great to see how a work space vans together. Looks a lot more cohesive than its piecemeal construction suggests 😂

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@FixitFingers yes it does, more by luck than anything else

[@chiplane3976]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!🙂

Great video. I hope to have my own shop someday. Right now, I just have a small part of our two car garage to work in. We live in the deep south of the USA, so I would also love to have some air conditioning someday. Thanks for sharing your shop journey.

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@jonrost5574 My pleasure, I'm sure you will end up with a shop one day and you won't know what to do with all the space.

Hi Mate, Thanks for the heads up particularly as I am in a similar situation for acomodation to yourself but just south of Brisbane. Very encouraging. Onya mate !

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@brianpatmore8418 glad you could get a few ideas from my setup.

In the near future I will be releasing a video of my new home workshop and workbench. I don't yet know if you will see it on Carreg/PeteLewisWoodwork/LoungeWizard channel - one of those. It will deal with the challenge of how to make a home workshop in tough circumstances - not unlike what you are doing here. I have bought a new camera and tripod to make the video. I'm looking at this and seeing what others are dealing with to make a dream become a reality. We also have to deal with different weather around the world. I like your background lighting - James Wright does a similar thing on his Wood By Wright channel. As for electric power, I have very recently given away most of my corded power tools and now only have my cordless and hand tools. The only corded power tool I have kept is my bench drill press. All in all, an excellent video and one that I will look at again and again while setting up my own space.

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@PeteLewisWoodworkThanks Pete. I will definitely keep an eye out for your video.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Subbed with alerts as well. Shop tours are the best because sharing what you’ve done by welcoming people in to your space.

What happened to the Tormek? Also, thanks for the tips for using smaller, more constrained sheds.

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@anthonyseiver7000 the Tomek was under the sheet to left of screen when i was looking at the unseen end of the shed. I actually keep all my sharpening things there, on a flip top bench with my lathe turned upside down

[@anthonyseiver7000]

@@AussieWoodshed I thought I had missed it. I need sharper eyes

[@AussieWoodshed]

@@anthonyseiver7000 well it is under a sheet X-ray vision might be more appropriate for that
