Hello Everyone,
It's been quite a while since I was last here, but having very little to offer since my last posting, I thought it better to stay on the sidelines. Like they say "no news is good news."
My reason for this post is that I am now in the throes of building an extension to my shed and with it will be a longer and larger bench.
The reason for all this commotion was caused by (as the heading states), a small crack in the large window overlooking my old bench, turning into a full blown side to side and top to bottom, crevasse! While I could live with the small crack, the thought of such a huge sheet of glass blowing inwards and all over me was reason enough for a total rethink of my situation.
First off...I had no glass or a similar sized window to replace the broken one with (it was already second hand) and since it had to be removed in its entirety, I decided to go one step further and remodel the whole wall.
As earlier pics of my shed show, it's just an old run down 'shack' with all my accumulated goodies inside. So I gathered up some more old windows and some even older timber and set to work extending my bench area outwards by around a metre. During a previous reno, we built a deck along the back of the shed, so it is upon this that I have begun my latest shed update.
So....with a length of over three metres and a design in my empty head for a 'U' shaped bench, I would like to ask for any suggestions, ideas or just plain old comments to do with having a lot of room and only a few ideas on the best way to fill it.
Only one thing is already certain, and that is that the left hand 'projection' of the bench will be occupied by a new router table with an Incra LS 17 Positioner sitting at 90 deg. to the bench and facing into the shed proper.
I will post some pics tomorrow hopefully so you will be better able to get a handle on what I have in mind.
In the meantime let the suggestions flow please.
Thank you all in advance,
Bob
