I almost can’t believe it has been a year since my first blog post, PK’s Beef Jerky. What started out as a mental outlet in the middle of the night (I was up a lot at night after my second child was born) has become a focal point for sharing my passions with all of…

It is only a small rectangular brick shed so storage efficiency is the key as is maximising the available footprint for working in.

PK Reviews: Ryobi 36V Outdoor Power Tool Range
