The New Shop Pt 2 Moved In

This past week I have been working hard and I have most of my tools moved into my new shop space, its so exciting! First I insulated the walls then put 1/2" plywood up. After that I painted the plywood white with a eggshell latex paint which really made the shop brighter and appear larger after two coats (I still have some touching up to do, but I wanted to get my tools in there).

It feels so good to get my tools in there!

The next few things I am working on are my french cleat system and my lumber rack. I am putting french cleats where ever I can and hanging whatever I can on them. This way everything in my shop can be moved around without much trouble with the only things being permanent on the wall are the lumber rack and the ladder to the attic. You can see where I have already hung a small cabinet and a clamps on my french cleats. The clamps had no where to hang and were taking up valuable space rght off so I made up a quick holder for them. Also, I needed a place to put some fasteners so I made up the small cabinet to hold my hardware.

My lumber rack will be located above the jointer and my unfinished router table. I am making it out of 2x4s and 1/2" plywood, it is pretty simple but should do the job nicely.

Moving into my new shop I will be building lots of new shop furniture and jigs, most of which I will try to make videos on. This afternoon I hope to be able to complete my lumber rack and have a tutorial video made and uploaded by Wednesday. I already have all of the parts cut for the rack I just have to get to videoing!

A House In The Trees Part XII

After a stalled few weeks of Tree House building due to Woodworking in America and Hurricane Sandy, I managed to get back out to work last week.

After cutting all the T1-11 sheathing/siding to length, I managed to get 2-1/2 walls hung. Hopefully next weekend Ill get to finish closing in the envelope.

Writing Desk for Master Bedroom In Process

Last night we worked on the headboard - it is coming along! In the meantime, I am also working on the desk for the bedroom

I am finally sharing my first and favorite craigslist find today - a writing desk - beautiful construction, solid oak, dove tail drawers - I wish furniture was made this well today!

Ive been putting off working on it because I wasnt exactly sure how I wanted to refinish it ...

Ive decided to sand it down and re-stain or keep the natural wood and wax it ... there is some damage on the top, so we will see ...

Also, if you noticed the three sections on the top - the middle opens up to a vanity mirror, pretty neat!

Today with my eye protection and respirator I tackled sanding it as much as I could stand - sanding is soooo messy and by far my least favorite task!! Maybe David will finish sanding for me??

Looking better right?

The chair came with the desk for $65 total - I plan to upholster the seat and probably paint it.

Stay tuned!
