G'day all, I've been visiting this site for a while for ideas and thought i'd better say hi, i've got a brand new shed going in and i'm positive i'll be asking for ideas on set up and tool selection, any advice will be appreciated, cheers
The best suggestion I would have is not to go cheep on the tools. Its best to have a little collection of expensive one's then to purchase lower quality tools that will not stand the test of time. I have tools from my grandfather when he was a builder. Hammers, saws you name it. They all work better then many of the cheeper tools you purcase today. This goes as well for garden tools. Fiberglass handles and more expensive garden tools will last a lifetime. AS far as the shed goes. A good key to keep out the rest of the family would be a good start. Not that they would use the tools, but to put their stuff in as well. My wife pretty much took over my shed with all her horse blankets and horsey stuff. Keep all your tools off the floor. Hang anything you can. Tools that rest on the floor tend to fall over and are harder to choose when you need them.

Hey all, name's Mark, I'm a lifelong Adelaideian just getting back into riding after a fairly long hiatus. I just turned 24, used to do a lot of DJ back when I was 9-15, then stopped after they turned all our locals into golf course, rode flatland for a while, skateboarded from when I was 18-now, then early this year I saw an '09 Mongoose Ritual Dirt Hi and I had to buy it . Probably should have done some more research but hey, it's pretty nice and keeps me entertained! Currently researching dualies, looking at a Reign X or something that can do anything I feel like taking on. Hoping to learn a lot from these forums and hopefully getting some more downhill, XC, AM experience soon as it's something I've always wanted to do. Oh that and build some jumps & trails, although doing it legally is something I'll have to work on coming from a DJ background... I appreciate the issues involved now far better than back then though! _______________________________________________________________________ pass a the drug test | passing drug test | dog stroller | poly wood furniture
