Hi All
I signed up a while ago and have been hanging, not signed in, really like the forum and the help people are willing to give each other. Time to say hello and say I want to make pens other than slim line and learn from other members. Lathe has been out of action due to leaking shed roof, now fixed. I am looking to build another shed 10 x 12 as my man cave and move lathe and other stuff into it from shed no.1 so any advice on pen turning, shed building and shed layout gratefully received. :thinks:
All the best Roy

Ask away the answer will come thick & fast :thinks::thinks::thinks:

Allo Roy. I feel your pain with regards to leaky roofs and lathes, that's what killed my big lathe last year :sob:
Anyhow, a very warm welcome to you sir, enjoy!!:thumbs:

Thanks to everyone for the great welcome :thumbs:

Shed is still in the theory stage, where I want to put it the ground slopes in 2 direction, so need to workout the best way to resolve that (cheapest is not always best)

I'm a builder. Might be able to offer advice if needed.
