most Concreate down with hold down bolts and now it's time to cut those rusty UB beams up. It's been a while in planning but with dan's shed finished it's made me pick my game up.So with a little help from my son we mark out those beams ,cut em up,ready to sand, grind , wire brush the rust off, I hope. thanks to a good friend for a lend of his fork lift .My wife has had enough of them pins in the house and she wants them "out of her house" , "It's not my house any more those things have taken over ". well it's happening, in the next 12 months I hope. !@#
-
HOLY SHIT Thats going to be one hard core shed with beams like that good luck cam

Looks more like a warehouse than a shed!
Great stuff!
-
hmmmm can you make me 10 of them
-
so Cam - how many pins will this "shed" hold ?
1000, 2000 ??
^^^
-
It's to fit that bloody neon sign in ^.^, I had to go that high.
-
So what is the size of this "shed"
Looks like Alan Tate could set up his collection there when completed.
Great work Cam, keep the updates coming
-
So what is the size of this "shed"
I found the plans and diagrams he submitted to council for this shed..........

Obviously approved !
Great to see you involve your Son, Cam. Keep the updates coming.

Jeez, I thought I had it good with an 18MX6M converted shearing shed!
Pinnie sheds are becoming an Aussie icon.
Years later people are going to ask " whats that shed for?"- "it's a pinnies shed, everybody had them!".
-
hmmmm, I though my shed was big :D
-
Great stuff Cam . Gonna be a heavy duty pinnie shed when it's finished ... So when's the Shed Christening Meet ?? %.%
-
Love your humor daics3522 - my wife couldn't stop laughing either!!
Hey CruiserMan...that sounds like a plan @@*(I'll be sure to keep you all informed on the Christening Meet). Won't be till well into next year or beyond...a major project to do and find the time for!!
Shed size is 7.5mtrs wide x 16mtrs long - sorry to dissapoint you with the size, but it is 7.5mtrs eave height. I hope to mezzanine above the pinballs and leave a 4mtr roof height. Hoping to fit 16 plus pool table

The only disappointing thing big dog is that it is bigger than mine.......... @@* @@* @@*
Be able to see it from Mars............

well done a bit of work on the columns.
1 photo showing Brendon how I'd like them welded
2 photo Having a go on his own
3 photo After spending 6 hours + grinding sanding wire brushing the beam to a bright silver then some more hours welding lugs ,brackets and base plate + drilling holes. This shed gunna take much longer than my dreaming said it would. !@)
-
How good it that !
Going to be more like a factory than a "shed" - Need a BETTER name for this 9th Wonder of the World !
"Rome was not built in a Day" - Take your time ^^^
-
Cam that is insane you do realise they used thousands of slaves to build the pyramids.....
-
Cam's not going to need much in the way of lighting with that neon sign he's got to go in there if its as bright as he told me it is.. (i got the opportunity to see THAT as well over the weekend while there)... that thing is bloody HUGE $$( $$(
Cant wait to see how it'll all look when done!!
-
Sunglasses will be issued as standard at the entrance for your protection...
-
Great stuff, remember awhile ago when "the sign" was transported home and was fired up (springfield-simpsons had a meltdown)I think the overall responce was thats gonna have to be a big shed to have that sign. I think it's called reverse engineering??. be great to see the end result. ^^^
-
Its just not fair.
I mean most of us poor buggers are lucky to have half a garage to put our pins in.
And look at the size of the shed they are making the beams in.
Just having some fun Cam.
Well done.
Its going to be great when its finished.
the only problem you will have is trying to find enough pins to fill it.
-
Hey Bigdog just wondering are you still working on the huge shed?
-
It's all gone belly up at the moment , X-mas put a stop to it and I have lost the plot a bit.The urge will come back ,I hope.cheers and thanks for asking.
-
.The urge will come back ,I hope.cheers and thanks for asking.
yeah of course it will Cam... I thought it might've fired you up abit when you beat me on Vortex last weekend <.> When you get the shed done, and if you have a pinball meet there i'll bring Vortex to the meet, hows that grab ya??!!
-
I need to add at this stage that I was congratulated by his wife and kids for getting Big Dog back at his own game.They laughed a lot. I would have gotten a pat on the back. fathom man
-
finally done more on shed !@#
-
Holy snapping duckshit batman thats gunna be a massive shed cam.
-
Is that a Shed ?
Looks more like a Stadium !
-
only half will be used for pinnies and then a floor over that at 4m high,the floor area is 7.5m X 14m.I hope to get a glass cabnet at back with sink and cooking stuff ,15 -20 pins ,pool table,ect.lots more to do but when finished will most definately have a pinnie night or two
-

Asteroid Annie that is!
Looking good Cam ^^^ ^^^

Hi Cam
That is one serious shed Mitch has been telling me about it and some of your games I some times go to Coffs for holidays as it not far next time Ill call in and say G day I would love to come to open nite with all the rest of members good to see your son welding Howzat $#$
-
that is one serious shed
-

Nice!! sounds like its starting to happen again Cam $#$
-
I was wondering what was going on with this behemoth of a Shed. Good to hear it is back in construction ^^^
-
Techically speaking, when does a "Shed" become a "Hangar" ? !@#
I think the answer is if u can drive a plane into it, its no longer a shed, but more like a Hangar which denotes size. Thats bloody big !
Here is a Hangar the same size as your one ! picture below >
p.s - well done on the work !
-
Some flight simulators would go well in the back corners. Atari Hercules would fit well in one of these. Some racking up top would not go astray for all the empty Stern boxes.
-
well have done a little more work on shed,putting mezzanine floor in place(beams and bearers)...shot shows the start of concreate floor being polished. Not to forget my T2 dog.
-
Awesome cam can't wait to see this finished with your toys inside did you still have that massive neon ???
-
yes put wheels on it and moved it to another shed,1.3 tonnes of it ,it's a bit sad looking but hopefully it's still working.got to see some builder to put wood floor(roof) and walls, I just don't think I should do that job ,wish it could happen sooner and also hope the games still go ,were packed up ages ago .This is were I need Mitch *%*
-
Great to see some progress on the shed Cam ^^^
Give me a holler when the time comes when you're ready to get the games up and running *%*
-
Well got abit more done,moved pool table in and some pinballs,cabnet at rear,pizza oven,fridge to size room.Next is to sheet the wall between factory bays. Then holes in walls for ship loads of wires. NOW ! ITS NOT SO BIG , sorry the plane or jet are not going to fit!!!
-
Nice thats a sweet shed ^^^ ^^^
-
Great looking shed. ^^^
-
good for a car hoist as well ()
-
Holy shit I almost thought that was a real Pooltable in the middle of that shed then I realized it was from a dolls house. It is from a dolls house right???
-
Dan , I can only get 9 in a row like your shed,putting the hours in to get it done.I want to play the games it's been years !!!
-
Where do you park the Boeing 747 ?
-
It looks huge mate. I can fit 11 along my wall I worked out just have to select the right sized titles

sorry it's a jet it won't fit, Nino. The end result will be used in charity nights as I did at home but parked out the street. I hope to help charities and people who need some help for a good cause. Lots of locals are keen to see it happen, the ones at home were great as people respected the games and not trashed them(not to much) . Every one was there for a good time and raise money for a good cause, the atmosphere and feeling of doing some good for people ....PRICELESS........
-
work on inside wall and wiring , used 16mm white board
#1 before lining wall
#2 white boards in place and wiring
#3 main loom to board
-
Hi this is Brooke - BIGDOG's daughter. I took some photos because yay $#$
Cam says "Finished the wall lining, kitchen and counter is 95% complete, electrical work all done, plumbing all done, just need some more pinballs that are going and wall hangings. Pizza oven (3 phaze, 415V, 2 door) fitted and tested, coffee machine not tested yet."
Anyway, the photos!
-
That's not a shed.
I don't know exactly what it is - it reminds me of one of those "only in the USA" rooms with really cool cars and pinballs. That is awesome !
-
Lookin' SWEET AS ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
I get to see it in the flesh tomorrow, Cam has me booked in for a few days to service his games #*#
-

Probably MY turn i guess!! I have a total of nine machines in three rooms in my house that all work well. Will be moving a couple more out of the shed and up to the house soon though.
Or Ian can have a go at hosting one at his place if he wants, he does a pretty good job of hosting pin meets %$%
-
Someone stole my thunder. One thing I always notice in meet photos is lots of smiles. Pinnies seem to bring the best out of people...... well in my experience any ways. What a great meet thanks for sharing
-
...Any chance you can wheel the shed down to Victoria for us to play in? :lol :lol :lol
Is it a shed? or a new bunnings opening in your area :-)
