Call Makers Bench "Pic Heavy"
« on: July 09, 2017, 12:13:24 PM »
I don't have one.  YET.
There is an old shed behind my house that I thought about dozing but upon further inspection and thought might just make a nice,  small strikers shop.  It's stick built with a concrete floor.  Stay tuned and I'll post pictures as progress on the West Augusta shop slowly picks up speed.  I miss making sawdust.
The place needs a lot of work but I have a few friends that are going to help with some of the"heavy" construction type work.

The old shed behind my house


The inside of the shed.  Much of the junk was left behind by the previous owners.


The first two sheets of OSB "ceiling" panels being painted.

"New" shop door primed on one side.

That will make a fine little "retreat" for strikers and all kinds of projects!

Got a little more done tonight.

Some of the junk left behind by the former residents that I took out of the shed tonight along with 3 garbage bags of small stuff.



The door.  Been buffed a little,  primed and now some rattle can Brown. 



Still a ways to go.  The wood is mine.  Striker stock. 



Found 400 sheets of notebook paper in the "attic" from the prices,  they must have been there since I was in high school.

Busy weekend on the new shop. 
LT "Firedup" Pack and Joe stopped by to help "A LOT"

LT “Firedup” “The Cat Scarer” Pack and Jeff White.  Jeff stopped by Friday night after work to visit.


Last of the junk to leave the “shop”


First ceiling panel up.


Temp lights and the last wall panel to come down for insulation.


Cutting out for the “new” door. 


LT and the “Original” Joe.  How can a door kick 3 men’s butt’s


Door frame finally in.


Joe taking a break.  Looong hot days.


Ceiling insulated and panels going up.


Work central


Hey, the door fits. Firedup.


Walls in,  Patching joints and getting ready for paint.


Door in.
