Resin wood table

Started making a resin wood table. Started with a 1in wood slab, cut in half, and poured a epoxy resin with blue pigment around it. In a week or so will sand down and put a final clear coat on top.

Shed stain and trim

Lots of progress was made this christmas weekend.
- The roof plywood triangle pieces were cut and screwed on.
- Stain/sealer was applied to "most" of the plywood siding
- 1x4 trim was cut, painted, and nailed on the front of the shed
- made a plywood ramp for the entrance

Next step will be to finish staining, more trim work, and make the doors

Shed roof

2 weekend's later and the roof is up. The roof is made with 2x4 roof trusses spaced  24 in on center. Then 10ft 2x4 beams goi ng horizontally with the metal roof being screwed into those beams.

Next step is to put plywood siding on the roof sides and make doors.

Shed walls and siding

With the help of 2 friends, one Sunday is all it took to make all 4 walls, put them up straight, and screw on the plywood siding.  We started the roof but probably wont have that up for a week or two.

Last picture is all the metal roof material loaded up from home depot

Start of Shed Build

First post for the shed build. I'm making a 8' x 10' shed to house my atv. To start I'm leveling the floor made of 2x8's on 4x4 posts and cement deck blocks.

Double Adirondack Chair

Latest wood project is a double Adirondack chair. Just adding onto the pile of outdoor furniture. This time it's made using pallet wood and cull lumber  (70% wood pile from home depot). So the screws cost more than the wood itself... Probably a lil over 25$ to make this.

Pallet wood adirondack chair

Latest pallet wood creation is an Adirondack chair. Still needs a coat of linseed oil. Hopefully will make a second one to match.

30lb robot bearing blocks

Back to working on the featherweight robot. Making some bearing blocks out of 1/2 in aluminum. These are bolted onto the steel frame.

Making slabs

Christmas day was spent slabbing up some freshly cut ash trees. Bought this jig off amazon for 25$, amazon link below, it worked pretty well for the 4 3 inch slabs that were made. The quad in the pic was used to drag big pieces out of the woods.

 The slabs are now sitting in my garage for the next 6+ months to dry out.
