Not really familiar with this building method. Veeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeey interesting Col Hogan.

Don't use PVC for air lines unless it is specifically made for this application. Under the right conditions PVC can burst and send shards all over the place. If the line between the buildings is underground it will eventually fill with condensate (water) and it will be pushed along and exit...

It just gets better and better.

What? No pictures from our day long trip to the farm? Or Gina's. Or ****'s? Or the girl that served our dinner. No one as photographic as Kelly but were not chopped liver.

Is there anything, besides maybe brain surgery, that you can not do?

I prefer OSB over plywood. I expose the textured side (the one with the nailing lines) and prime with two coats of oil base Kilz followed with ordinary interior latex. Generally a much better finish that you can achieve with comparably priced plywood. I would stud up 8 feet to cover the...

I really like threads with lots of pictures. Nice build. Don't worry about the rebar and the vapor barrier. What is done is done.

My wife hosted a hen party in my shop. She made me clean it up. Before I knew where everything was. Took me months afterwards to find everything.

Wanna see more!

You can also rent a couple of scaffolding sections, walk boards and casters for a manageable amount. Around here you can rent for a month for not much more than a weekend. When I built my shop I kept my scaffolding for three months. Money well spent.

Purposeful clutter.

Have you considered contacting the "This Old House" crew? They like to work close to their home base in Boston. They have a reputation for being a little loose with the client's money and leaving a tax bill on donated materials. But, the job will be done right. Or maybe not.

An amazing amount of high end work comes out of small workshops like yours. Interested in seeing how you do it.

Some of the later pictures are not loading. Neat project.

Excellent.

I have access to a 220V 3hp rated single phase VFD. Input is standard 220V (2 conductors w/ground) and output is 220 3 phase (3 conductors w/ground). I want to use this VFD on my 3hp ACRA mill. Currently the motor is hooked up to a rotary converter. The reason I want to change out is...

Many thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it. I have a millwright friend who spends most of his time swapping out equipment in hospitals and factories. It is amazing what they scrap out. Hoping he will come across a motor that will work for me. I just put up a post asking, from a user...
