Gold Gentleman Pure gold

Recently was doing some work in my cousins shed, a glorious affair, with a titty girl calender from 1989, a time when we were just old enough to have our own work space.

Hours passed as we worked away - it was bliss. It was rudely interupted by my wife asking when we intended to call it a day (daughters birthday party the following day) as "you have commitments you know".

She then glanced across at the calender of dreams and said "and why dont you take that calender down its not 1989 any more and look heres a trading post from 1992"

My cousin in his dry humour laughed "I gauge inflation from those trading posts and that girls breasts have stayed as pert as the day she was put up there"

Cue much laughing by all - with my wife even sitting in the couch for 10 minutes before returning with me home.

And you must NEVER let your wife/girlfriend clean it, EVER!!

If you have no wife or girlfriend you do not need a shed. The drawback is the house begins to look like what your shed would if you had a girlfriend or wife.

i must be living in a 4 bedroom shed

luckily i have some storage room under the house
i started to compile a list and maybe post some photos but , pretty well have at least one of everything covered in this topic and a spare just in case , but it was starting to look like i was bragging
my environmental contribution is comfortably drinking a garage/shed temp beer after banishing the beer fridge (gasp! and the power bill is getting a bit out of hand for one person) if i can't be bothered going back upstairs to the big shed where the real fridge resides .....

The only essential item that every shed must have is a SOLID workbench, with a vice attached.

Everything else is just gravy

You have nailed it there nebbs. This is mine. All steel and dynabolted to the floor.

you are a sick man cisco , how can you have only 1 layer of tools and jobs on a bench, you are not normal
only the sewing table is supposed to be kept clean( when sewing sails) otherwise it is allowed to build up when building a project

Your handy with a welder buster, why pay $1000 when you could have made one??

haven't got the equipment to bend 8&6mm plate! think on a rough quote its 150 bucks to send it out per bend.

Run an angle grinder along the line so u cut 3/4 of the way through, bend and weld. Done

Sheds are like black holes the bigger they are the more crap they seem to suck into them never to see the light again.I seem to be on a never ending mission to get rid of crap from shed.Half the stuff from the house gets dumped into my shed were in im suposed to store it until its required again .All i can say is thank god her sisters pregante & i get to clean out all the stored gear from our kids when they were babies .Ive been wanting to get rid of this stuff for yrs. While i might be able to get away from wife the four kids think my shed is the best place to play & my tools are toys & everything in the shed can be used to make whatever crazy idea they come up with next .This used to drive me insane but i have learned to put up with it .And i now check the garden for missing tools because thats were they have been turning up .I still find it hard to make furniture when they are racing bikes & scooters around the shed so if im working on furniture there is no racing & no swinging of the rope swing hope you kids read this.

Buster,
Why are you using bricks? The purpose of a fire is to heat a "sink".

Used to hang in a mates shed a lot. More of a leisure setting than workspace.

Complete with comfortable couches fridge, Vinyl record player, full stereo, guitars, bongos, amps, waterpipe etc etc. All the boys used to stop in as they went past, you get the picture.

Anyway after a few too many beers and what have you one night we got out the guitars and paper and wrote a Celibate Rifles inspired song.

I forget all the words but it started out like this:

The Shed
The Shed is the answer
The Shed
The Shed is the answer

Whether its a Titan or Ranbuild Deluxe
The Shed
The Shed is the answer

I forget the rest but it made us laugh and I must get the rest of the words off my mate if he remembers as well.

Geez I loved being 21 on the Gold Coast!
