Woohoo! Got electrical hooked up today. Got shop side insulated, and I will start walls tomorrow. Will post pics soon.

 

[colt zantop]

Alright, got some more done today. Started hanging the walls. It's 1/2 sanded plywood. Should look real nice once I get paint on the wall. I also got a surprise for the divider wall. I will post once it's done

 

[colt zantop]

Alright, here's a few teaser pics. So why would I need a black wall? Haha, well, the divider wall will soon have some of the 200 square foot of vintage BARN tin I just picked up! I use the black paint so that any holes the tin may have, won't show raw wood through

 

[colt zantop]

Alright, now my vision is coming together. I'm doing my ceiling with T11 siding and I'm staining oak. I grossly underestimated how much stain these panels **** up! It's taking damn near a can of stain each panel and I got 15 panels haha. Oh well, should look killer when done .

Thanks! I'm just getting started

 

[colt zantop]

Been working on the workshop area all day....

 

[colt zantop]

Getting the ceilings in. Gotta give credit to my wife for making the suggestion on a wood type ceiling. I started searching google and found People’s pictures of T11 siding on the ceiling. I really like the look.

So, did you break in the smoke room with the inaugural cigar yet?

Hahaha. Yeah, I've actually smoked a couple in there now. It's fun sitting back and brain storming ideas with a good stoggie.

 

[Mr. Roboto]

Awesome work so far! Can't wait to see the rest of it come together, keep it up!

Workshop side is almost done. Just got to get my work benches set up.

 

[RyanC-PNW]

This looks nice. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.
I've been doing a lot of research on what I want to have built/build and I never really took much look at prefab like this. Looks like I should take a harder look at it as an option.

Thanks! Yeah, prefab fit my budget and also my time frame. I pretty much needed something immediately so that was another factor in my decision.

I've been Setting up workbenches all week. I should be done this weekend with the general layout and I will post some pics

Are you building the benches or did you buy some?

Building them. I had a few different "stations" I wanted, one for my metal shear, one for my miter saw, and a wider lower layout bench. Should have them done this weekend.

 

[LXCam]

The finished ceiling with the lights looks very cuul.

License plate execution station

LMAO!!! Yup, that about sums it up hahaha

 

[colt zantop]

Alright! Now it’s coming together. I got my bench in and wanted a vintage feel so I chose to do a 2 tone stain, dark tops and lighter frame.

 

[colt zantop]

Getting some of the small stuff set up. Got my vise mounted, got my shear mounted, and also got my wood storage wall started. I will do a few more shelves.

 

[Jeff Ivers]

Show us where the mechanics work station is going.

[colt zantop]

Got the car in it’s home for now. That side is still unfinished but I had to get the workshop up and running first to make that $$ haha

 

[colt zantop]

Shop side is back in business! Haha

 

[colt zantop]

Got some time to clean up and hang some of my barn pulleys!

 

[colt zantop]

Been working on “under bench” storage. Got these on casters so I can slide in and out. Works great for all my plates!

Colt, way to take advantage of dead space, very clever. Looks like you can fit a ton of plates down there. Nice space you are making for yourself.

[colt zantop]

Thanks guys! I've really been brainstorming on ways to save space since the building is narrow. Any other ideas you guys might have is welcome as well! Thanks!

 

[colt zantop]

Been pretty busy with Etsy orders....here’s a few I’m working on at the moment.

Awesome shop, that looks like fun to have a blank canvas and form it how you want it! Cool business as well!

Getting more walls up. Got some of the plywood walls up and also started on the barn tin accent wall.
