Welcome to The Shed Magazine, 2020 calendar competition

We are looking for twelve great shed shots for our first ever The Shed calendar. This calendar will be included with all subscriber and New Zealand retail copies of the January/February 2020 issue, on sale December 2 2019.
The magazine has been wanting to do a calendar for many years and we are very excited that at last the time has come

So, what kind of shot will make you a winner?
We are looking for a broad range of stunning photographs of a great busy-as home/backyard shed. It could be just a shot of your shed which may be messy, it can be tidy and smart as. It can have sheddies in the photo working on any project or just a shot of something you have made in your shed. We are also hoping to get amazing sheds in great exterior landscapes and groups enjoying just hangin’ in the shed.
Any subject matter will be considered as we look for a great cross section of shed shots from around New Zealand, Australia or anywhere in the world where a great shed exists!
Be aware though that we do need good quality hi-res images to reproduce well when printed.

The twelve  winning photographers will receive a free one year subscription or subscription extension to The Shed Magazine and bragging rights beyond all others, and, you can enter as many shed shots as you like.
Entries close August 25 so don’t delay.

A dream shed that came true

9 May 2024

Gary Wells has a shed that isn’t quite your normal sheddie bloke’s shed. It is still a place of work but a recent extension, after a quick clean-out, now doubles as a well-appointed entertainment area complete with bar and luxurious sofas which Gary made from the backs of two Ford cars. It could also be the old 1950s petrol station at Makarewa, once a small township and now incorporated into Invercargill to the north. A quick glance around Gary’s shed at the old-style petrol bowsers, the weather-beaten, corrugated iron wall, advertising placards and oil dispenser puts you back in the days when petrol was actually served to customers.

The right stuff – part 2

If you have followed our Metalworking Lathe 101 series in The Shed magazine, you will have a grasp of the basics, so here are some helpful tips to improve your lathe experience and make those projects a bit easier to do.
Quite often the material or item we need to hold in the chuck is delicate, either due to a fine finish that we do not want to put chuck jaw marks on or due to it being thin walled. For jobs with a surface finish that you need to protect it is handy to have some strips of aluminium to put between the chuck jaws and the job material. These are mostly used when holding in a 4 jaw chuck as the job will need to be “clocked up” using a dial indicator to get it running true.
The thickness of the aluminium strips cannot be relied on to be consistent as they squish up a bit with the tightening of the chuck jaws, so when using a 3 jaw chuck the auto centring effect is not so good.

These tips are a random collection of thoughts that I have grouped under the classification of things that relate to working at a bench using hand tools, rather than using a lathe, mill or other machine tool. So if you have only a workbench with some hand tools in your shed, this is meant to be useful for you too.
