The Workshop

This is a pretty good sized building. I do have to work on the outside, it needs some siding and it needs a subfloor on the inside. Th building 19.5 x 11.5 feet is a fairly large building. Right now it has a lot of stuff in it from the old place which I am slowly sorting through.


I have built some shelving to help organize the stuff that is being stored in my workshop. The shelving is made from 4 - 2x3's and wood strapping, 5 - 1x3's and a sheet of 7/16 x 4' x 8' OSB. total cost is under $20. everything is screwed together using 1.25" sheet rock screws, I like to use the fine thread screws.

A New Project

I have started doing woodworking, mostly by accident. I bought this trailer that needed a lot of work. so once I started laying a new subfloor, I had to start buying wood working equipment so now am moving onto a full blown workshop.

It is my hope to redo the kitchen cabinets and build some of the furniture and work on other projects to make living here more comfortable.

So this blog is to record my progress, so let's get started.
