Finally got around to adding some lights on the porch. I’ve been just using the string lights, but need more if I’m working on something in the evening or when folks are over. These are 4” LEDs that just clamp in to the hole (square template sticker is included), extremely simple to install...

I’m not sure for just the building, but I was about $33k all-in. I wired it myself and then had my BIL electrician come up to help pull cable from the house and wire it into the sub panel and inspect it all, so that saved a chunk. I also supplied all of the doors and windows so that added a bit...

Yep, 1” Thermax insulation all the way around. It’s not much, but I can tell a huge difference between my shop and my cousins uninsulated shop in the middle of a hot day. I had so many layout sketches on paper before I broke ground, and then still changed it a lot when it was finally built! One...

Yep it’s a 1/4 scale model of the one in the profile, a Piper J3 Cub. The real thing is a blast, the model is one someone gave me and it flew terribly to be honest. I’ve already gotten rid of it to make more room in the shop

A quick update now that the sod is looking good and we’ve got stuff moved in. Still not exactly how I want it but I’ll keep playing around with the arrangement. Eventually the front door and porch doors will be painted green to match the front and back doors on our house.

You had me at airplane hangar…cool looking build! And Kyle at RR does some amazing work, not a bad source of inspiration at all!

It stays in the shade the majority of the day, till late afternoon. Definitely a nice place to sit and relax for a bit.

Here’s the truck before I started taking it apart. It currently sits with just the cab on the frame in a storage building. As soon as I get the shop settled I’ll finish separating the cab and frame, and get the frame ready for blasting and powder coating. This truck was bought new by my great...

Indeed, there’s an attached 2-car on the house. The project truck took up the 2-car at the previous house so it was time to figure out a workshop situation when we moved.

I’ve wanted my own for years, spent months dealing with the city to get approval, and now I’ve finally got it, my own 660sq/ft workspace! The crew wrapped up a couple weeks ago, I spent a week or so running all the electric inside, and my electrician BIL came up last weekend to help run power...

My store was showing one, so I was expecting to get the cancel call and the "we can't find it". But not long after ordering I got the email that it was ready to be picked up! :D

Don't even need to order it, Walmart carries them in the tool section for less than $11 :thumbup: I've had one for a while now and love it. For what I use a pocket knife for, it's perfect. And always sharp.

This build is too cool. Looks very similar to what I'd eventually like to build. Keep up the great work!

Update, one of my orders is now showing "preparing your order" and the other is still "order received". Looks like I'll be getting at least one of them soon!

Just ordered this for pick up for $11, showing 1 in stock. Let's see if they come through and find it.
