If you'll hit the stencil with a little bit of clear and let that dry, then hit it with your top coat, you won't get any bleed into the crinkles.

Thanks for the info Bruce, just googled the car. Now that you've made the connection in my head, my folks have the scripted logo for that car in the garage (the PO of the place must have removed it, found it years ago)

That's a great idea, thanks for the tip! I'll have to give that a go.

Nice work! I like how you are repurposing! I do the same thing and run a blog on the items I repurpose. I am getting ready to do some major work to my garage...right now I am cleaning it out! Keep up the great work!

Always good to do a clean-out, my garage is needing one soon too. I have a list of a bunch of stuff to sell online. Repurposing stuff is a great way to save some money when you get a bit of spare time, it also tends to have a cool look and stuff has a story behind it. In my mind the coolest garages are full of things that have stories attached to them... certainly something that happens in my garage a lot. The blog sounds neat, got a link?

Works great. When I was a kid building models I had all sorts of issues with running paint.. Pops said to hit it a matte clear. Boom..
I've used from model to full scale aircraft.

I'm gonna have to give this a shot (pun intended), might become my standard method going forward.
Merry Christmas from Workshop 88!
Up here in the icy north, we just got our power back recently after an ice storm knocked it out on Saturday night. Although we have power, a backyard tree is resting on the lines and has worn through the jacket, causing a nice arc and shorting buzz.
Here's a shot near us, but many streets looked like this. Free hardwood anyone?
Thinking of all those in the GTA still without power, stay warm and stay safe!
After Christmas, I'll share a few pics of the project I've been working on for tomorrow (a gift for someone very special).
Happy Holidays everyone, and all the best into the new year!

WOW sorry to hear of your power problems from the ice storm. Those photos look pretty rough, but familiar. The river valley around here got deluged in ice but up here in the mountains we got by with only a foot or so of snow. I got to play with my 4X4 Chevy and our new Subaru for a while running errands for neighbors and such. I also got "ample" time to work in the shop, as wife wanted a new Nativity Scene for this year's Christmas. Also used the time to redo an old vanity for the daughter, and she did the finish on it also in my shop.
Plans for 2014 are moving now to front burner. Since I have so enjoyed piddling around with old furniture, I am going to get into that a little more this year, and I have several pieces to begin on.
Want to wish you a very happy holiday season and a great 2014!!
Best Regards
Herb Spencer

I'm not fairing as well as you... Third day without power, and a row of poplars are down on the back of the garage. I pushed two of them off, and the third will have to be cut. So far this hasn't been the best holiday! Warmth of family will pick things up!
Merry Christmas... Enjoy the holidays!

Thanks Herb! I've enjoyed some shop time lately making my wife's Christmas gift, so I hear ya there. The furniture refinishing sounds fun, I've done a few pieces before but I'd like to do some more at some point.
All the best to you and yours in 2014!
Ouch, makes me glad for once that my lot is devoid of trees. Hope the building escaped without damage, and especially your old Chev's. I know a lot of people in the GTA are STILL without power. That's getting to be a long time; especially in the winter. Hope your Holidays have picked up a little since you posted. Enjoy the rest of 2013, and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year all!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had been working on a Christmas gift for my wife over the last month or so leading up to Christmas. I hadn't posted any pictures of it just in case she happened to browse this thread.
My wife is a big fan of old, industrial furniture. She especially likes the look of raw steel and wood, such as an angle iron baker's rack or side table. Seeing as how I had a bunch of old bedrails in the corner, I figured I'd have a go at making her some kind of side table for the kitchen.
I selected some of the choicest, bend free material, and used the available length to determine the height of the unit. This ended up being 36" tall, 15" deep, and 43" long.
With the rivets ground out I made all the length cuts (with an angle grinder), and then clamped a scrap at the end so I could grind them all flush. This worked well but was pretty slow, and caused me to put 'metal chop saw' on my 'tools I need' list.
Moving on, I used the angle grinder once again to give the bottom of each leg a nice taper, 3/4" in, and 5" up the leg.
I then clamped everything together for a bit of a test fit, and mocked up some x-bracing with some flat bar scraps I had laying around. (Note, I did remove all the rust after).
Once I started welding however, My camera phone decided it would go on one of its frequent 'endless crash-reboot' cycles, so I wasn't able to take any pictures for a few days while it sorted itself out. By the time it came back, I had the frame all welded up.
I made a jig to make each end section, and tacked everything up. I did a few things different on this project that I hadn't before. a) I used a bunch of scraps to practice until i got the best settings (I used to just guess and go). b) I tacked everything, and if it wasn't within my tolerances, I took it apart and re-did it. I even figured out where to tack to make it pull in my favour (any seasoned welder reading this will be thinking 'well duh,' but I'm still a novice welder and learning it on my own, so I count this as progress). c) I made a jig, and I'm hooked. A simple jig saves all kinds of trouble. Jig it, clamp it, tack it, weld it.
Anyways, I was able to get the frame pretty square, but it had about 1/8" 'drift' to it, so it looked a little like a parallelogram. To fix this, I strapped across the longest corner-to-corner, and pulled it into square. I then used another scrap length of smaller flat bar to brace it, and boom, it's square to within .030" or so. I also cut and welded in the x-bracing for the ends to make everything nice and rigid.
Then I popped out one night to an industrial area where I dumpster-dived some old pallets. I had been hoping to find some nice hardwood ones, but when it's well below 0, snowing, dark, and windy, you get a little less particular. I ended up with some nice long pieces for the top, and some thinner softwood for the bottom shelf.
I plotted out a stencil and cut out the letters, then hit one of the boards with black spray paint. Once it dried I sanded it back a bit to look like wear and tear. I just made up the 'Northern Steel Co.' label. As far as I know there is no such company, but it sounded Canadian and Industrial.
A custom shipping tag (FOB. WorkShop 88), and some boiled linseed oil, and there you have it.
I had wanted to add solid riveted corner gussets (just tack the rivets from behind for looks), but time was tight so I had to go without, I think it turned out though. I must say, I really enjoyed building this. It was my first piece of furniture and my biggest welding project (not counting the wagoneer). My workshop proved itself many times during this build, and I really wasn't wanting for more space.

Looks nice. Do me a favor and order up some nice weather for your neck of the woods during the middle of next week. Headed to Oshawa Tueasday and Wednesday morning and then Ingersoll on the way back.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
She did in fact love it. I think it was partly because she thought it was cool, and partly because she loved that I made her something custom. It's now in the kitchen (which for her, basically means front and centre.
Nice weather would be a welcome treat, perhaps you could bring some up with you? Just got a new battery for the echo because it's been slowly dying as the weather gets colder, this morning it almost didn't start. 360,000km on an original battery though, so it owes me nothing. Tomorrow is supposed to be colder.

It's more across than up. We got hit by the same ice storm you did and went about 4 1/2 days without power. Looking like we won't break -1C anytime soon. Anyway keep up the good work.
Sit Rep on winter: It's getting colder.
the ice may be off the trees, but the snow is getting deeper and the mercury is heading in the wrong direction. It has come to the point where my little electric heaters aren't doing much good, so I decided to squeeze one more project out of 2013 and hook up the little woodstove.
I had picked up a little woodstove (for free) years ago and had used it in my parents garage on their farm, but when I upgraded to a bigger (free from a scrap pile) wood stove, this little bunkie stove had no home. It sat in storage for about 4-5 years until I brought it home maybe a month and a bit ago.
Since it's a small stove, I had to find pipe that fit a 4" outlet. I popped over to Home Depot and secured a handfull of 4" HVAC pipe, which the stove used for years in its previous home. Now, I fully realize that this is duct work, thinner than black chimney, and galvanized. But it was cheap and much easier to work with. (Note, by now, 95% of the coating has burned off, and I've sanded all the interior pipe down to bare metal. for the initial burn I opened up the doors and windows, but it really didn't smell that much and I haven't felt 'off' from any burning zinc).
Anyways, Health and Safety disclaimer aside, I set to work since I had to get it all buttoned up in one afternoon. I had a sketch somewhere of what I wanted to do, maybe when I find it I'll throw it up.

Lining up the chimney to the window pass through was easy, the longest part by far was fabbing the insulated panel for the pass through itself. The PO had left a few sheets of galv duct work behind, so I pilfered from that for both heat shielding and the pass through enclosure.
View media item 36648
View media item 36649
I built the enclosure in 2 pieces. The first was a flat piece with a 1/2" hem around each side. This was built the same size as the window screen I removed, so that it would fit right in and be removable when the weather gets nicer (I need the space). The second half was the size of the empty area when the window was slid open. This way, when it comes out, I just close the window. The whole deal is 1-1/2" thick so it keeps the cold out pretty well. the inside portion of the pass through has a larger hole, so that the pipe is not in direct contact with the insulation, and it allows for less than perfect alignment of the 2 holes through the sheets. It fit into the window gap with relative ease, though I did have to tweak one edge with a body hammer.

Outside, it turns upward and runs through 60" of chimney before a rain cap with spark arrester is installed. The whole deal is mounted to the frame behind the fascia, and has an aluminum heat-sink to minimize any contact of hot chimney with wood (by that point though, I can pretty much touch the pipe without getting burned). I will post an outside pic soon, but because I was mounting it in the dark, the cold, the snow, and on a little aluminum ladder, it isnt exactly plumb, so I will fix that to save myself embarrassment.

I would like to buy a thermometer for the garage, and a stove one for next to the stove to monitor temps, but I'd say it hit 70+ fahrenheit pretty easily, which is more than enough. The galvanized sheet is ice cold to the touch even when the fire's been on for hours, and the 2 shields behind it, which I made from a few salvaged steel shelves, are even cooler, so the wall stays nice and cool. I even added heat shields on the top of the pipe and under the window frame, which keep everything nice and cool. The rule for this stove is small fires only. I don't need to cook, or have the place at 90 degrees, so a couple pieces of wood crackling away are more than enough.

Wood stove looks great! What did you line the walls with? Is that concrete board? I just picked up a bunch corrugated steel for lining the walls with.
Have you tried the stove out since installing it? What are your temps on the inside wall and on the outside of the wall too?

Thanks a bunch! I plan on building a similar style table for my wood lathe when I give it some attention.
Tell me about it! I love working out there with the crackle and warmth, it's a much nicer heat than the electric heaters, not sure how to describe it. With all this recent ice storm damage there is no shortage of wood, just gotta find the time to harvest it and cut it up to dry.
Thanks, the big grey heat shields are actually 2 steel shelves from an industrial shelving unit, I found those at the end of someones driveway along with some bedrails, all around score I'd say. Corrugated works great too and you can curve it to reflect heat better. I've clocked about 15 hours on the stove so far, and so far no problems of any kind. the galvanized heat shield is always ice cold and the big grey ones are too, so the wall in behind is cool.
Found a sketch that I did back in September of the wood stove plan, obviously a little more appealing than the current setup. I do plan on welding up stove like the sketched one at some point, but for now the barrel is just fine.
The first image would be a super small stove that would sit on a tool cart, but in reality I think that would just be too small to be any good. The larger floor mounted one would throw more heat from the chimney and heat the lower area better too. The orange sketch was an idea for a 'warm air' inlet pipe, sort of a larger collar that would be open to the outside with a damper on the inside. This would let cold air flow in past the hot chimney and blow warm air in as the stove ***** air out. Thoughts?

Ha! She's on to you dude! Glad you liked his present Amy
Your little stove looks right at home, sometimes just seeing the flame warms you as much as the heat coming from it. I really like the Christmas unit, it's exactly the kind of thing I see shops trying to imitate but yours is the real deal. And from bed frames? That's some good recycling

Thanks Magnum! Ya, turn my back for one second during a post and she pounces haha.
I love the woodstove as well, not only does it look cool, but it saves money on heating, which was electric prior to the install. The woodstove also brings the temp up in there faster, and seems to hold it well at 70.
Thanks for the compliment, I actually got the idea a while back when we were out at a few shops and she loved the steel furniture. I thought, 'hey, I could make that out of all reclaimed materials!' I'll probably make more stuff like it for use in the garage (or perhaps a small side business? who knows).

Look for an old Fischer stove on Kijji or Craigslist. A Baby Bear will heat it well.
Our family cottage in Parry Sound has a Papa Bear as it's only source of heat and does a wonderful job in the dead of winter.

Thanks Greg, I always keep an eye out for cool 'junk.' Never know what you'll find.
Did a search on those, thanks for the tip! there's a few of em around, though a little out of my price range. I saw a few inserts and a papa bear, no baby's yet though.

the make pellet stove window units that look like small AC units.
The concept kind of scares me though... think Direct vent gas or propane unit would be best

Had an unwelcome guest in the shop over the weekend. We've been having some warm weather and rain over the last day or so, which has nowhere to go once it hits the frozen ground. It decided to flood behind the garage and come in through the sill again. The areas with the round stone were ok, but the back corner is gravel, and was frozen. Come spring I will have to dig it out a bit and add some round stone.
On the plus side, I did manage to round up some nice dry wood yesterday. My dad and I took down a nice big dead Ash tree at the church we go to (I had permission), and stacked it all at my house. The base swallowed up the 22"bar on my Husqvarna, and was about 40' tall. All in all I'd say I snagged a little less than a cord of wood. Most of this is for burning but there are some beautiful chunks that I might use for projects.

In my part of Florida that's called humidity. A couple of days ago the area just north of me received 23.8 inches of rain in 24 hours. Even for us, that's a lot of rain and broke the old record by 2 inches.

Good job on the custom table for your wife. I hope she is happy with it. The Woodstove you allow you to be comfortable in your shop during the cold winter months and a refuge if the power goes out for long periods of time
Will all your projects now wear the label
"Northern Steel Company". logo?

That's a TON of rain! I don't think our infrastructure here could handle that kind of downpour
Thanks for the compliment, she loves it. I had that thought about the wood stove too, it has a piece you can set on top for cooking, though it doesn't get as hot.
Funny you should mention the logo idea, I have all kinds of different logos and brand names in mind for projects. I'm definitely thinking Northern Steel Co will join the ranks for any industrial furniture. At some point I'd like to cast some logos in zinc, still gotta carve the blank though.

You should try to cook a pot of stew, soup, etc one day on the stove just to try it out. If it does not get very hot-that is exactly what a crockpot does, Slow cooking all day. One weekend when your are around the shop all day try it and give us feedback.

Hi,
check out the Wranglerstar channel on Youtube, he made a video about his "makers mark". If I recall correctly, he also mentioned where you can order them.
Best regards from the Netherlands!
Thanks! I Love it too. All this nice dry wood makes a huge difference. Smells great outside too.
I like the slow-cooker idea. I once made some Kraft Dinner on this stove but that's been about it. I would like to try something on it though.
Thanks! Neat videos, a setup like he had would be pretty cool for adding a small brand.
