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

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
