Lookin good, the doors turned out great. Better get some cane bolts on them before a big wind throws them open and off their hinges some night. Ask me how I know that can happen. I had a 12" concrete block resting up against each one of mine and the wind got behind them and pushed them open about a foot. Luckily I was home at the time and heard the banging. You've probably gotten the hardware done on them by now though. Lookin good!!!

If you need some decor you need to find an auction like this.

Thank you for the comment. I do have all sorts of latches on them. Hasp, top catches and drop levers drilled into the floor. We should be good!

Well, I have the inside a ways along and where it will operate for a little while








I have also installed a new compressor in the storage room

 

[BuickFarmer]

Starting to look like a working garage, you have been busy! I don't thinks your compressor is big enough though LOL

In good use!

VOH any new updates to show? It's been a couple years since the last update in this thread so I know you have to have been up to something inside that shop! We need more than just that one teaser pic, haha.

Little update. Of course the shop is being used. I built a go-kart for the kids and have been working on the '41 for a while now. This last week I shaped the fender skirts for it.

So a little fun note, all the wood around the top of the walls was from our wedding dance floor. We ended up with a crazy amount of rain on the outdoor wedding, so all the discoloration is a combination of water and mud from dancing.

That's awesome! I love re-purposing something sentimental or meaningful in a way that is more useful. I'm sure it makes you smile every time you see it, and makes for a cool story.
