New shed
« on: August 18, 2013, 07:58:34 pm »
Finally have my new shed to lock up stage
Yeah the big wood doors seemed a much better idea at the time when I started. I did buy get the wood from the old Hamilton Brothel in Newcastle so it has creed. There 3mx3m each. Shed also has 3 phase power so I'm luving it.

The slab is 12m x 8 m but the overall is 20m x 12m but yes I will stick with my 5 bike rule as that rule has not been about space but about time management. Have a great 400 amp TIG welder that runs from this shed so I can crank up to 10mm+ alloy plate if I need ( and old Honda heads )
and I loving the power deal. I will take more pics of the new set up. If your a welder you understand you can never have too much juice  ;)

The man cave is much closer to the BBQ area. I'm lucky to have both. I just need a RM 125 S to hang of the wall to make my dream.

Ok guys I now have my welding setup good to go.
I have my work area as I like it. If you live in the Newcastle area and need some TIG welding done. I can do Alloy/stainless/chrome-molly.
I normally do Power station steam pipe for a crust so this is my gig.

Nice shed I'd like to have a shipping container to store my future projects so I could walk around in my shed but because we only rent it I can't put stuff in permanently hoping to get a decent block sometime in the near future.

I got to much stuff any way 4 cars and a heap of bikes I like your 5 bike rule I don't think I could do that though. :)

What a fantastic job you have done quickly, I'm envious :)
The doors are a nice touch.

Good to know!
