You'll have to have a run up and take the mickey in person!! Since it's a railway type shed at a railway house, and we needed some gates across to separate the garden and the drive, we made some 'crossing' type gates to fill the gap and hide the model trailer a bit. Need to make the hinges and fit the horizontal bars and the all important red spot! This is now getting to the end of the shed thread as the stuff we are doing now isn't too relevant to toy aeroplanes anymore so that'll be this done, until we move house again that is!! Ian.

cymaz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Ian.... For decoration may I suggest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg shaw Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 You most certainly may Cymaz! That is what we are thinking, but instead of the timber horizontals we are doing the iron bar style crossing gates. Just bought an old lamp for the top of them too, it'll become some for of latch to hold them closed. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly-navy Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Took a flying visit today to inspect shed and pass it off before he set off doing some argey bargey sailing. Gents it's a thing of beauty and something most of us dream of or to aspire of owning, could not believe the size and space and how Ian has utilised it all, would you believe he wouldn't leave me on my ownsome in there I had deep pockets too. The cottage and grounds are delightful and that is another project for him, after the stableblock he renovated and lived in previously I thought that would be the end of those projects. Doesn't like life easy our master builder. Well done matey, stunning job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg shaw Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Cheers John, much appreciated comments! Sorry to drag this up again (not really I'm chuffed and wanted to share!!) Got the gates all but finished, with the lamp latch and horizontal bars etc. Made up the hinge / corner brackets which wer a bit involved as they have to line up with the shed structure and keep the gates at the right height. Just the other gate hinge to make now, to pick up on the bricks and not the mortar joints! Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've ordered another shed. Started the base this afternoon. Will have power etc, but this is a storage shed, and will free the workshop shed up - for a while until it fills again. Problem with rc planes - they take up loads of room. at least i've got space for new ones this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg shaw Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 What type / size have you gone for Paul? Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Not as big as your hanger, but this is a 12x10, the last of the corner space in the garden. I like your railway gates. Also I notice your plot is next to a railway line. Your shed could be mistaken for a old railway siding storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your shed could be mistaken for a old railway siding storage. That was the whole point of the shed Paul. The house is an old North Staffordshire Railway house and station, we have seen old plans of the house which shows a siding and workshops on site. It would have been far too convenient to build a 'normal shed' but it would look like a normal shed and not something that might have just been refurbished. Cheers mate, see you soon at Congleton perhaps! Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just finished another shed, ran out of space - as you do!. Needs power going in and other things which I will do tomorrow. The hard bit is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 All done, power in etc. Have a charging station as well, charger for each shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reg shaw Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 More shedliness I'm afraid!! Got the hinges and gates made and completed, and the big job of bitumen-ing the corrugated tins out of the way. Its turned a new looking shed into something that looks like its been there for years, perfect!! Now hopefully I 'll get some modelling done and get some of those unfinished build / refurb threads done! Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reg shaw Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Here's a few pics to show that no matter what shed you have, it always gets filled to capacity and then some! After ages of not being used for its designed purpose, it now is back to being a toy aeroplane shed, a hopefully busy one at that! Gone (for now at least) are the various narrowboat restoration and window frame making bits of gubbins that has taken up precious space and time for the last few months and for the first time in what must be four years I have a useable shed and more importantly the enthusiasm to use it! On a sadder note though, we lost one of my modelling heros recently, RIP David Vaughan, a truly great bloke and modeller. The memories of his modelas and plans will live with me forever, many thanks David. An inspirational man and modeller. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain Dibley. Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 That is one Beast of a shed Mr Ian, a chap could get lost in there for days... Damn shame about young Dave, as we used to call him, one of the nicest fellows you could ever wish to meet. D.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetenor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well I like that a lot.My sheds are both stuffed but only half of it is models .There is my car tools and plumbing tools. Loads of both plus compressor welder and other bits. But also lots of domestic bits that have been shoved in and a couple of side drums from my BB days. I've not been able to get out to it to sort it out as I still haven't had my hip ops. The smaller shed is stuffed with more power tools ans loads of plastic bags of I know not what. Also space in outside understairs cupboard is chocker too .It will take me months to sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
