    I think it is a show off shed. Not a place to work in, make a mess shed.

    Oh dear, I’m going to have to get a bigger shed, if that’s what collecting does to you.

    I agree with @Alex74
    But are you sure it's not a museum, looks to excellent to be a shed, where is the mess? @AussiePete
    Its so clean you can eat off the floor, do you ever use it, or just look at it? I'm joking of course.
    It really is an excellent shed.

    I think it has enough water in the pond, I'm just waiting on summer for a clean. 15994418708107154584673075534284.jpg

    Do you really have a shower in the garage?

    I knew a bloke that was a dustman (refuse collector) that had a small extension/porch/wet room built so that he could get cleaned off before coming in the house...good idea and very practical, i thought.

    You all have workshops to aspire to, i must say :(

    I don't have a special shed or a garage like you guys. I won't be posting any pictures showing the mess and clutter of my workshop. Well, that happens to be my bedroom too.
    The rest of my workshop junk is piled-up in my living room, which appears more like an unorganized store. There are no tables or chairs and there's hardly any free space to move around. There's no electricity here too.

    @coleman54 Amazing! I particularly like the Mil-Spec corner, both for the lanterns and its practical application. Is the Coleman 275 deliberate?

    I think you may have been upstaged Pete. Think I’ll just keep my head down now and never mention my lamps, my shed or anything else lamp connected ever again, I feel so humbled.

    Truly a Shed of Sheds !:)

    I would have to keep it as just a lantern shed...I couldn't do any work there for fear of flying sparks!=;

    Okay, deep breath, here goes.

    After some extra ordinary examples I thought I'd put mine up. My shed looks like a "mad man's hair cut" on a good day, don't ask about the bad days. (i.e. it is a little rough and ready, and not a pristine engineering work space).

    My fettling seat is a Swiss Army Lantern Box and the majority of lanterns are suspended from the roof to make space. P.S At least I have a space for them, and am very grateful for it.

    The photos are a bit dark, I've not got a lantern lit

    Hey Alex,

    Your shed looks great and you have a wonderful collection of lanterns and lamps.

    My shed or garage is slowly coming along and will be a work space once again.

    Cheers,
    Norman

    Your shed looks so much better mine, Alex. I might even mistaken it for a lantern shop.:)
