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.

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.
