The first episode of the Workshop series by The Woodworking Shed that that will document the transformation of my cluttered shed into a habitable workspace.
About the shed ... what to say? As far as I can gather from the pictures, there's no point in trying to seal it with caulk from the inside. The construction is so open that the dehumidifier was basically trying to dry out the airspace over Britain. Looks like damp (rust), draughts and low temperatures will be your problems. A small woodburning oven would be my choice for heating and drying, but that steals space and then there's the fire hazard (or building code / regulations/insurance etc).
Sure you haven't got a nice and dry corner inside your house where you could fit a small workbench? Handtool woodworking can be quite 'low-key' if you confine yourself to small, benchtop projects.
Apart from building a proper shed, I have no good advice.
Damn that grass looks fresh!

Thanks for the comment!
Unfortunately I don't have space in the house. If I did I think my partner would not approve haha!
I have to make do with what I have unfortunately...
I can say it has dried out a lot inside. Hopefully it will stay that way.
The main idea for the sealant was to stop water paths especially around the windows, I will seal them on the outside when drier weather comes.
I definitely have a challenge ahead of me!
