well here is the biggest update thus far.... got the shelf welded in, the back on, the top welded down, and the 2 door pieces welded together. still need to pull it off and trim the bottom to fit the lip on the front of the box got the sheet metal guy to bend this up for me...

so leason for the day.... when you drop something off to a sheet metal guy to make the sheet metal you need. do not tell him you are "not in a hurry" to think it will be a fill job for him for a little cheaper" turns out it was priced pretty darn good i think. but it took forever. needless to...

well with new wire is now ran to the garage, still need to re attach the interior wall and insulation then im good as gold

well yesterday i received a shipment of tools from mac, i took advantage of their apprentice deal for 50%off, and then today i bought the snap on ct8810. i had to do some strategic organization to make everything fit. i would say i'm if not already maxed out for storage. i need more room so this...

hahahaha. I don't think the wife will appreciate that. but I do like your thinking.

yes but not good ones. the garage cannot Handel a welder. I'm in the process of running 10-3 opposed to 14-2 from the furthest corner of the house to the garage.

well work has been extremely busy the last 3 weeks and has no signs of letting up. every time i would go in early or stay late i would be suckered into working. so i brought my hutch home. now things should start to move along nicely.

well here we go again.... i got tired of looking at it every day and not having any progress. i decided to test my door idea. now the pictures below is not hos the sheet metal will be attached to the hinges. the lower hinge im going to attach the sheet metal in the front so the door will lay...

well, this is not dead yet but on hold. we discovered water in our basement and i have been in the basement pulling walls apart discovering cracks in the cinde rblock. so unfortunatly for now this is on hold gotta have priorities set.

ok so i got a little more done today, pics to follow. my snap on rep came in today and i had the project on a work bench welding and he asked what it was, and i was hones with him in saying it is something that your not going to like. he knew what it was, a hutch and a potential lost sale. i...

not to worry it is only messy because I take the pictures before I clean up after work. I clean all tools and put them.away after each Job. as far as power. I will be adding a power strip along with led lighting to brighten things up.

oh ya and as you can see i have to trim the bottom of the front to match the contour of the top of the box,(the little lip) due to the welding i warped it a little, ill bolt it down then tack on the sheet metal and it should hold her square enough. (remember i aint no fab man.)

yesterday i ground down welds on the sides where sheet metal will be attached, and then today i added brackets for a shelf, and picked up hinges for the door, i have decided im going to go for the horizontal bi fold. tomorrow im going to pick up some more metal after work to add to the front to...

OK I understand. I looked at it today and I know that will work but the one draw back is that this hutch is higher than it is deep, so when the door would be up it would be sticking straight out, I know I would hit my head on the 10 inches it would stick out. and worse yet what if someone els...

im not sure i know what you mean on the stud and roller at the rear.....
