Welcome to my new blog ‘Building a Shed Headquarters’.
My name is Ray Kirk, I’m writing this blog so that I can share my expert knowledge of the carpentry industry with anyone who will listen!
I’ve been a carpenter since I started working as my Dad’s apprentice when I left school, yes my father was a carpenter and his dad before that…was a policeman, but hey I’m second generation and I’ve got almost 20 years experience!
Since I was a boy I’ve always had a love for the outdoors, I used to spend summers in the garden helping my father with his projects, everything from small dog kennels to the European style log cabin that was made big enough for our pool table (that we never ended up getting!)
I always knew I would follow in my Father’s footsteps, and I have never regretted it. The smell of freshly cut timber on a summer’s morning still takes me back to those long summers in my childhood. The satisfaction I get from finishing my latest project, standing back and thinking, ‘I made that’ is still as strong as with my first project!
Most of my work over the years has been on Sheds, Wendy Houses, Summer Houses, Dog Kennels, Chicken Coops, Tool Sheds, Barns, Cabins; you get the running theme right? I have also worked with garden furniture, rose arches, fencing and anything else that belongs in garden and is made of wood!
I’m going to use this site to offer professional tips, how-to’s, tool guides and product reviews.
So don’t miss out! Subscribe by RSS or email to keep up with all the latest posts and hopefully we can build a community of like minded people!
Cheers,
Ray.
