My Shed is tiny, and is packed with all my tools. I actually have two workspaces. The Shed for woodworking and the garage for oily metalworking. I like to keep the two speperate.
The tools I use are mainly hobby tools that I have bought and acquired over the years:
Its probably big in terms of a garden shed at 12x8, but is quite small for a workshop. But I love it to bits. Its quite old now and has been upgraded with a metal roof and has been given waterproof membrane and then cladded externally with fence boards. It has multiple electrical outlets and good lighting.
Probably my favourite and most used tool in my shed. Its great for cutting all sorts of wood and shapes. I recently upgraded from a Ferm (similar to this one) to a This has a bigger cut depth at 150mm which means I can make larger highland coos.
my next most used tool in my shed is my pillar drill. Its a small bench mounted one. I actually have two of these, one in the shed for wood and one in the garage for metal work (I was given this one by a neighbour). Both are brilliant at what they do, not particularily powerful but get lots of use
Im still a bit afraid of this saw, but it fits into my small shed well. Its very portable and I made a stand for it on wheels that mans it can roll under my bench when Im not using it.
Where would be be without cordless drills these days. Used for drilling holes and rapidly putting in screws. I bought this one a few years ago and it came with 2 batteries. One battery is always on charge. I have had a number of cordless drills and they always seem to die because of the batteries. This one is still going strong.
