preparing for a cabinet

The new shop is coming along. You may have seen the Spidey Box project I posted about. It is nice to work in, but still in disarray and needs some organizing. I am building a big storage unit and getting video of it. Just making it out of construction material, it has to be sturdy and yet look decent. Here is a photo of it part way through and a video of how I went about getting there. I have more footage of it and I am going to edit them into "bite sized" pieces and post them. I just kind of muddled my way through it, designing and creating as I go.

Thanks for watching!

What'cha Doin Doc?

Seeing as the project isn't really one thing, but a whole old church, I am trying something different. A run and gun vlog. The work isn't condusive to a "project" style video, so let's see how short updates work.

Another small job done.

I finished up the fascia today and this is how it turned out. Not the permanent fix I want, but it's better than it was and will hold until we can get the whole roof rebuilt.

Transfer of methods.

Fixing up my window installers crappy work. I didn't want to take out all of the basement windows like I had to on the main floor. Seeing as most of the wood is good that surrounds the window I took a clue from wood turners I have seen to stabilize wood. It worked better than I thought it would.

A quick update

Just keeping up to date with what's going on around here. Always busy but slowly getting projects done. It will soon be snowing so outside work has to get wrapped up. Lots to do over the winter as you will see.

I finally built an actual project!

Whoa! It's been a while since I took a break from house reno's and made a whole thing. I put scortch marks on my Roubo making the sign for our house and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. No more of that, I needed a workbench for dirty and mechanical work. So I built one. Designed to hold my big vise right over the leg of it for beating and pounding and made from 2x material so I won't mind banging it up. It was a fun, easy build that got me out of the doldrums. One just for me and the shop.

Changes, 1 leads to another

Well I got the new workbench all finished off and installed. Of course if you add, subtract, or modify anything in the shop it leads to other things needing done…so while we're at it…lol. So now the shop has been rearranged. Here is an update on the new work bench, the changes in the shop, and a big shocking change to the foyer of our home.
