It's an open fronted shelter, I can get it past planning as another woodshed because technically it's a garden building under permitted development.
Similar to this.

I know what they are Ystranc and I know what most people do wrong when erecting one
 
Since its Wales I was going to go for a very large overhang of the roof but you're dead right Joe...no point in building something so that it rains in.

Nah, 6'6" at the front is way too low for me, I'm 6'4" in my bare feet, if I have my thick soled wellies on I'll be banging my head...I'll work out a few designs and build a few models first. I'm sure it'll be fun, just like the old days.

I'm lucky because I'm vertically challenged
 
Just building another 2 x 72" belt grinder, trying to improve on the last one I made.
This one will probably go up for sale once its done.
the main frame is stainless steel
Just doing it in my spare time.

I have a new motor for the first one now it runs abit faster than the last one @ 3000rpm so have asked divebuddy if he can make me a 6" wheel for the new motor which should give me around 4700 surface feet per minute on the belt.
Also new motor is 2hp where the old one was 1hp so looking forward on getting the wheel made and get that running.
