Do you have one? whats in yours?

I do, well it's more shed than cave, mine is home to my milling machine and lathe and tooling they're both quite small as engineering equipment goes but big enough to do what I want. Which is more than can be said about the shed. So the rest of the boys toys, the pedistal drill, bandsaw, compressor, bench grinder and welder have to go in the garage which tends to get used as a general dumping ground by my sister, kids bike, scooter 5x2ft fish tank and other junk she puts in there on it's way to the tip.

I'd love to be able to spend more time in my shed but it's bloody cold in there even with a heater on also I've not been well enough to spend much time doing anything much but laying down.

I love this.. Always wanted a proper milling machine and lathe etc. Would love to make my own things and just generally get mucky and be creative like that.. but don't have the room anymore.
What little room we have left in the garden, will be used for a shed pub and hot tub area.
But loving the look of it. Proper man cave that TD. ;) :D

Drawings! what's them? rough sketch back of an envelope does for me, it would be a fag packet but I don't smoke.

Seriously would love to get my hands on a decent CAD system I can understand, preferably for Linux, Windoze if I have to.
I have AutoCAD on disk some place if it would be any good to you let me know and I will see if I can find it

I have my garage as my man cave but it also has to home my 2 motorbikes. I have carpeted the floor so I can sit down when working on the bikes. Its lovely and warm as the main house boiler is in the garage too

Should be a few free ones out there. Do you want 2D or 3D?

Hmm AutoCad, they've been going quite a while, supposed to be good, tell me more (y)

I've tried to install a few of the free ones on the Linux machine but with little success, 2D would be fine, then once I got the hang of that maybe think about 3D

Give a woman a house and she will make you a home :
Give a man a shed and he will make a cave :

Loin cloth included (y)

give a man a fish he will eat for a day.
give him a fishing rod................................he'll probably sell it and buy a fish

The last retreat from the nagging :)
Got mine in the loft conversion , no tools or lathes unfortunately, just weights and a shit load of guitars ,amps and recording equipment. Which also come in handy for drowning out the nagging if anyone dares follow me up there :)
