I haven't gotten around to finishing the D1-4 because I decided it was time to move the air conditioner to a wall.  I had one wall yet that didn't have wall covering on it, just house wrap on the one side and plastic on the other with insulating in between.  I used metal studs for the interior walls and I never did care for them.  I decided to buy a couple of 2x4x10 studs and replace the metal studs with these where the air conditioner was to go.  Well one thing led to another and the next thing I knew I had all the house wrap remove, plastic, and the insulation pulled out and I replaced all the metal studs.  Next I went and bought paint and wall covering and I am now putting on the last coat of paint.  I have more staining left to do on the cabin so I will get up very early tomorrow and have the last coat of paint on the walls before I have to start staining again.

Here are some shots of the shop in transition. Once I get all the paint on and things back where they belong I will take the finished pictures.

Who's been a busy boy then Bob.

I think the last time we talked you were just going to do a little bit of restaining, looks like you got carried away, or was it a "it came away in my 'and boss" and you had to carry on as more bits fell off.

I used to hate putting those damned noggins in, always ended up hitting a digit.

John, the I just finished the staining today.  The weather kept me from staying at it, so I kinda got carried away with the shop face lift.  I had one coat of paint on the other 3 walls and now all of them have two nice coats on them, I gotta make sure my hands are clean for the next 30 days because I can wash the walls till then..( :(  I still have lots to hang back up and reorganize so I am getting back to it.  Final pics coming soon...;)

DeereGuy:
Well the wall is finished, all walls have 2 coats of paint and I have run a pipe through the wall for shop air::))

Here it is ready for the electrical.


This is what it looks like now.  I moved the lathe which is to the left of the desk back against the wall and it opened the room up just a bit.  I also swapped the desk with the work bench so I wasn't backing my chair into the grinder handle.


This wall was only partially painted before and there was no trim around the doors.  I still need to paint the trim.....someday..:)


I really like having the white board behind the mill like this.  It comes in very handy when making notes of dimensions or sketching a part out.


I found a metal bracket in the other part of the shop and hung my tool post holder on it.  I also moved the collect rack.  I think I am going to like this set up much better.

Now I know what I'm going to use my white board for...... :thumbup:


Nice shop....... :clap:
