Go into your local private helicopter/plane service center with a couple of boxes of beer and some empty 20l containers and ask for some kero/jet a1. Ghfwii.

Got a bit of waste ground by the back door that's only good for weeds, so just banged up a woodshed that'll save a trip to the big one. All scrap timber from an old fence so only cost me some screws and a bag of cement...

Got the piles perfectly level then discovered the 100 x 100s were warped AF... 

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

Some big screws straightened things up a bit. Waterblasted the sheepshit and slaters off the old palings and it came together ok. Rough but sturdy, and at the back of the house so nobody will see it...

This is a 5 minute craft that looks like you spent at least 20 mins making 👌

My latest wood burner build.  5mm thick steel. Hefty as. It's got a triangular shaped plan.  Rack on top is to hold rocks. It's going into a posh sauna and will be surrounded by sweaty Germans 

[rusty360]

That looks mint!!

[Nominal]

Is there any particular design, or just a firebox with a chimney?

[yoeddynz]

It's got a removable secondary burner plate in the ceiling - more for helping to keep the glass clear. Pretty basic stuff though.

I made a little spraypainting cupboard.

Just a place to hang parts and blaze a bit of rattle can (or proper paint I suppose?) over them.

Its got two 7 billion watt bulbs and a smaller 2 billion watt in the middle.

3 extraction fans (that I am yet to duct outside the environment) which are strong enough to bow the doors in.

I'll have an oil heater in the bottom to warm shit up.

Probably splash a coat of polyurethane on it too.

[Bearded Baldy]

I didn't realise i was missing that in my life. Another one to add to the list for sure.

Thinking of putting holes in the bench section for the hot air to go through? 

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

With my boring sensible hat on, aren't spray booths supposed to have explosion proof fittings to avoid sparks igniting fumes...?

You're prob fine if just drying parts in there tho...

[rusty360]

I did just have a similar thought, we had to go though this drama for our Chem shed at work.

Certainly looks the business though, great idea

[cletus]

When we bought our house it came with a similar looking cabinet! But no paint overspray...

Yeah @sheepers. You're not fooling anyone with those " just like sunlight" lights and extractor fans for "fumes". It's even split so you can have "just planted I mean primed parts and flowering I mean painted parts.

[cubastreet]

I guess the two black fans are brushless so probably ok for spray booth?

[h4nd]

It's really shit weather here for a few days, so I wombled out to the shed and bent some acrylic (badly).

Apparently  I'm getting soft in my old age:

The dry patch is where the teeny stray-cat sized leccy blankie is.

He/she/they/it is very skitty, so we thought having visibility might ease his/her/their/its mind.

I belt buckel I made for a friend, took a mold of one of those shit metal ones and cast it in silicon bronze and put his name on the top, he wears it every day

[SOHC]

Started making this belt buckel for my self, cast in C600 silicon bronze, i put some of my stamps on it and I will engrave the edge.

After not doing jack shit for nearly 3 years I thought I’d start my own shop. I needed a reception desk / place to sit at while buying stuff off yahoo so this happened. Thanks Dudley for the deal on car and getting tyre sorted
