The Shop

Here is what I started out with. It was an 18’ x 18’ two-car-bar with a slight list.

The first order of business was to make the shop sturdy enough to get some doors up. (I drew up plans and fabricated everything off-site. Big John and BNW were integral in getting the doors made, and Big John came up and we did a power lift on the doors one Saturday). This was achieved by planting two (2) treated 6x6s at the corners. Then I ran a laminated beam across the front. The rail and trucks came from Grainger. As for the doors, the rail and stiles are treated pine and the panels are Cypress. The panels have a nice little chamfer a la BNW and my nephew.
