Where do YOU do it?!

As we say "a man without a shed is only half alive".

My god, now I'm only half alive!! I thought I felt a bit rough when I got up this morning!!

Looks really good! Look forward to seeing her out on the water.

(I'm down your way next weekend Clark, to scatter my Dad's ashes at Inellan. I will have Atalanta, Jupiter out on the water at Ferry rocks Inellan on Sat morning for the occasion - unfortunately St Columba wont be out due to her recent bad behaviour and the lack of a suitable skipper i.e. Nobody brave enough to take the risk of her rolling over  )

OK,  its not the neatest of work areas but over the years my Dad has produced many boats and trains from this bench and it is the one spot in the house where i am officially allowed to make a mess

I have two sheds, a storage shed and a tools shed. Unfortunately the wife has also started storing garden tools in this shed - how I'd love to concrete the garden

Hi Sandy
Yes thats Lochiel. Soon as she's painted I will be fitting her out elsewhere, to allow work to start on Marchioness of Lorne 1891. Hope I can multi-task     Anyway, soon be paddler time!

Kim, I hope the weather is good for you on Saturday down at Ferry rocks.

Do I spy a large "Talisman" in your photo...hope you can update us on progress when you have time

Hi Clark,
Q. where do you guys do your sailing now that the old swimming / paddling pool has been filled in?
Update on Talisman -   Not a lot to report I'm afraid - I have been busy with another project _ more on that buy the end of the week  
Really looking forward to hearing about your paddler build.
Regards
Kim

Apologise for side tracking your thread Stuart.

my gawd, you guys are all so neat and tidy......myhovel is inches thick in saw dust shavings and other debris....every time i tidy it up, after finishing a project usually, the kids and wife toss their junk in from the garden and it takes me days to "re locate" it around the house and gardens again..........one long battle of wits and wills, lol

Fitz,
My early modelling was done at home in Blairmore where I sailed them on Loch Long (1960)
The fleet tender on Loch Eck is only 20ins long.         Sandy

Oops, forgot about the 1960 photos, apologise about the quality _box brownie no digital in those days.

Sandy, the "Maid" looks right at home there in your photo!
I think Loch Eck will be quite good for sailing, lots of nice little bays

What you can't see properly here is the war zone going on outside these photos.

To the left is the desk/workbench covered in debris, behind the photographer is the motorbike in thosands of pieces, and on the other side of the wall is the garage full of wood shavings, metal shavings, part built bikes and cars and the vintage car.

And this is after the tidy up.

I am about to have significantly less room as a trainset is about to be installed in this space after a 3 year hiatus.
