What are you building with your milled wood? merged

[axe2fall]

I spent some time around Baltimore and have been to Frederick a few times. I know Frederick Rd somewhat . . .144 ? . . Hung around a little dive called Taylor's Step In (stumble out) in my youth.
Is that a lever action in .308 ?
Text me for my email address

My aunt was looking for a ipad-thingy holder, wasn't too keen on the blue stain but works for her. Always nice pulling a piece out of the to be kindling pile.

Could be, I have one in 308, 303, 300, and 250. At the rate I'm going I'll have more Savages than Homelites, but it will take a while. I'm about a mile off 144 in Mt Airy. I'll send you a text in the morning, Joe.

Bigjohn, that's a nice bar, I may steal your idea. Thanks for sharing, Joe.

Very nice building! I was curious, did you guys pour any gravel before doing the slab? I wasn't sure if it was necessary on a slab that's under a roof or protection from rain getting under it and causing issues.

 

[axe2fall]

I put a load of gravel under it but I don't think it was necessary for drainage in this location. I used it to level the site.

Here is a shelf unit I made for canned goods, I plan on making doors and using some glass from some old sliding glass doors I pulled from a house I worked on. Once the doors are on it'll be a cabinet.

It's made from pine, finished in minwax honey maple and poly. Close to 7' tall and 4' wide, it'll hold plenty of canned goods, 192 jars and close to 600lbs. I made sure to anchor it to the wall with a hidden 4" screw up at the very top and set it to be across the floor joists should it be too heavy! LOL It seemed stable but we have some large dogs that like to rough house.

I joke with my gf that she's going to have a hard time filling it up and she says it'll be easy. We pulled what jars we have leftover in our cupboards and started filling it up. Now our cupboards are free from canning jars.

here is a lamp hangar for a venus fly trap made of pine,

How about a 16x16 shed? ridge beam is 18' long ...13.25" high 95% milled lumber, and 90% is seasoned.

We are a little further along now....more pics to follow eventually.

This framing game is addictive. Learnt heaps, made a truck load of mistakes. Looking forward to milling the stock for the next one, not looking forward to the falling i will have to do to get logs on the ground.

Thanks ,i do believe its a sickness. Last time i got into something that made me sick like this i ended up with shed full of chainsaws ,couple of alaskan mills, a couple of circular mills, various attachments for the chainsaws and i have been thinking lately i could do with a small BSM aswell.

Awesome shed Steve. I love the floor details.
