The recent "barn" post inspired me. I know of no "finer thing in life" than puttering around in a shop or shed. I am convinced that the time spent in them is so beneficial that God does not deduct the hours puttered away in a shed from those alloted to us while we're here.

So show us your sheds. Your shops. From the little potting sheds to the woodworking shops to the bench out back where the bike and lawnmower repairs happen. I can't wait to see what great ideas spring from this!

Shop's 12X16, built by me and some friends over a few weekends.

Door handles bandsawed out of some pine 4X4 stock,
"weather-proofed" with several coats of 50/50 mix of water and wood glue.
Yes, wood glue. These things haven't altered in appearance in 5 years,
and I think they're good forever.

Middle view:
The floor was laid with 2 layers of 3/4 ply. On top of that I laid some ancient beadboard donated to me by someone who ripped it out of the warehouse he took over. This took forever to do, but it upped the "character" quotient enough to be worth the time.

Tablesaw and outfeed.
Hanging from the side of the outfeed is a router set in a base
that hinges to hang out of the way when not in use.
