Above 1200 Sq/FT Shorty's Shed

[cbacres]

I’m going on two years on mine, but I bought most of the parts, so I get some credit.
Now, if I could just buy some time.

 

[shortykorte]

Belly is full, Black Friday shopping is in the books.
This morning was spent on the bi-annual roof cleaning.

 

[xtremek]

What's the pitch on the roof? Is it an easy walker, or pretty steep?

 

[shortykorte]

Drum roll please.
The two day project that won’t end.
Put a floor in from scrap. Also when testing the air, I realized a shutoff valve would be better than just using the quick disconnect.
Ready to go.

you learn real quick if the vacuum isn’t on.
I need some longer screws for the glass frame and testing out different media flow and air settings. Not bad for first try.

Easy walker. Around 1/2:12

 

[Chrisb62]

Finally.......great job. Now that is operational I have a bunch of stuff to bring up for you to do.

 

[xtremek]

It did a nice job of cleaning the pipe wrench up.

 

[Strouty]

I can’t wait to get my cabinet done, my two day project has been on hold for 10 months.

As for adding color to projects, I keep seeing fingers, if I wore your style safety shoes, I would be missing toes by now.

I solved all those problems with my 10' shipping container turned blast cabinet.

10 months is better than 10 yrs.

Sometimes I like to live on the wild side. Almost as wild as you and Tampa in the Astro with the ladies.

Your setup is definitely the bomb Don.

 

[harley jim]

Yes it is, if I could find a box cheap enough I would build one just like Don has.

 

[shortykorte]

HF for the win!!!!
Was cutting some .063 aluminum sheet and using a cutoff wheel for aluminum. After about 5 minutes….

smok’em if you got’em.

Watching YouTube, a guy recommended these drill taps.

Worked great on the 1/16” angle (1/8 predrilled). End results are probably tad looser than when using normal taps.
Also, when the spray booth gets completed, it will be nice having a spray booth.


Welcome to dollywood! Nice having stove on a solid dolly.

And no blood ?

 

[harley jim]

Looks like someone found another gear. Go Shorty go

Blood? No idea what you mean

Not really. I cheated. The dolly was from my short Lista. I just had to splice in 2” pieces on two sides. Having the new weld cart and weld bench setup makes for a lot quicker work. The drill/tap also greatly reduced the time.

 

[xtremek]

I'm seeing a need for a paint booth as well. I'm thinking an 8'x10' shed. Are you thinking of making one?

 

[harley jim]

A 20 ft. Container,
½ paint booth, ½ sandblast booth

 

[xtremek]

Too big for me, and I need it to be heated. Trying to limit the number and size of out buildings.

 

[shortykorte]

Great idea on splitting a 20 footer.

if a building is against a building is it an out building?

 

[Strouty]

I would move it out a bit, then add a roof from the building to the conex and just say that it is the support for the new carport.......

 

[xtremek]

We'll have 4 out-buildings when her She Shed is done. I hope to reduce that number to 3 by connecting the shop to her She Shed with a carport roof (16'x36'). Then I'll stuff the paint shed at the very back of the carport. The question is, do you think 8'x10' is big enough? I don't plan on painting anything bigger than a medium duty rear axle in it, maybe cut in some doors or fenders. Cars, cabs/boxes, or frames will need a real paint booth.

Merry Christmas to you and Vicki.

 

[xtremek]

Happy Christmas and a merry New Year to you and yours.

 

[shortykorte]

Merry Christmas one and all.

 

[Michael B.]

Merry Christmas Shorty!

 

[Bob Heine]

Stewart, wishing you a bloodless Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

[PugetDude]

Merry Christmas, Shorty; it was fun having you on the forum 1n 2021; John is lucky to have you as a friend and neighbor.

 

[harley jim]

Merry Christmas Shorty, here's hoping it's a great one

 

[Chrisb62]

Merry Christmas and have a joyous and Happy New Year.

 

[cbacres]

Merry Christmas Shorty.

Heres to minimal blood shed.

 

[shortykorte]

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
My week was spent moving my mom to a new facility where she can get better assistance. A couple of years ago when I was 30-ish, I could carry a queen mattress by myself. Not so much now so off to the scrap bin.
I wanted to make some dolly converter arms like is used to move folding tables. Found some metal legs and had one more piece of angle from an old sign. Some quick welding. I think this will work in a pinch.


Wish I’d built this a lot sooner.
When the dust settles I’ll blast and powder coat them.

Happy New Years!!!!!

In my teens I worked at a furniture warehouse, we routinely wrestled King mattresses around by ourselves- on and off the lift platform forklifts, into customers trucks or onto the roof of their car (my favorite...) Now I can't seem to wrangle a queen mattress by myself. I usually use a movers dolly like you mounted your table legs to (great idea, BTW) throw a strap over it, and have my wife help help steady it as we move roll it around. We did about 12 of those mattress moves in the last couple of years between our move back to AZ and getting the in laws out of WA, down to AZ and in and out of the assisted living facility they were in until they passed.. Hope that's done for a while.

All the best with your mom, Shorty.

 

[xtremek]

Nice idea on the mover. It'll also come in handy for moving sheets of plywood or drywall.

Get real here Shorty, do you really expect us to believe that was only a "couple" of years ago?

Thanks for stopping in to slum with us Crackers. John Bob is fitting in just fine. Checked out your project thread, wow, nice work.

 

[shortykorte]

As the year ends, so do long time memories. With my mom’s second downsizing, the dining room set she’s had for around 43 yrs is no more. We found someone to take table, chairs and hutch base leaving…
Who knew that all fine furniture wasn’t put together with those screw studs and cam locks. This used glue and those weird Canadian screws.

Kinda sad that items that have been in the family for 50-100 yrs are no longer wanted.
On a brighter note, a little Christmas color, just a tiny scratch.


HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!!!!

 

[don long]

“John Bob”
I’m going to have to use that.

I had a salesman that lived in Atlanta; we called him Ricky Bobby for years. Guess he preferred that over being a ****.
