Its been a great project so far. Today I put all the shelving in the cabinets, and then did a big site cleanup and began the process of moving all my stuff from the old setup into the new.
I still have a couple doors to sand, and get the first coat of finish on a few parts, then start over with the 2nd coat. Once that is done I can re-hang the doors.
As for the rest of the project, I still have 3 walls to frame and put the T&G pine on. Once thats done, then 3 coats of linseed oil on all the pine walls.
My vision it for it to be a workshop with a cabin look to it, cozy yet functional. Theres something quite relaxing about the pine finish on the walls, makes it kind of homey. A few deer racks and other mounts on the walls, and few pics of some elk should do the trick.
Just a shame I can't put a campfire ring in the middle of the room.
Great place to build arrows and shoot bows, reload handgun ammo, and other assorted projects and odd jobs. Perhaps down the road I might try my hand at building a bow.
I inherited my love of woodworking from my Dad. I dont do a lot of it, but now I finally have the time to put together a place where I can.
When Dad passed, he left all his woodworking tools to me, his workbench, routers etc. He loved to putz in his workshop too, and in building this one, I uses as many of his tools as I could. Pretty sure he's been lookin over my shoulder, as along the way, everything has fit together perfectly, with minimal screw-ups. I think he'd like it.
