Shop renovation

[Brian Jordan]

Everything is coming together nicely. I have another question about your bench. I am assuming you used 2x4's for the supports under your bench, what spacing did you place them at? A standard 16" on center, or did you go 12" on center, or did you build with a different method? I guess a picture of the bench before you put the plywood top on would answer my question.

OK its clean enough, get to work 

[Brian]

Yeah   - stop stalling.  Get back to work.

How is the progress coming on your shop Taylor?

Well i've been back to work - I operate a sole proprietorship business "Taylor'd Edge Sharpening Service" in my shop.  I lost the month of April having had surgery on my left hand at the beginning of the month, so I hired my buddy Melvin to help me renovate the shop while I was down.  Though it's still stiff and tender and weak, I've been working it pretty hard - as hard as I need to.
Right now, I'm almost finished moving everything back into the shop - filling shelves, weeding the garbage junk and stowing the good junk.  When the construction was finished in the shop, I had Melvin put siding on our shed, and the bottom of the greenhouse, so it's looking pretty sharp around the place.
I'll take a couple of pics in the morning and post them.  I'm beginning to think "gunbuilding" so I must be better.  Thanks for the inquiry.

Taylor!, my question is Where did you put everything while you upgraded your work room? Looks good though, nice white walls ready for all that dust to start collecting on them.   ...Geo.

Ok Taylor although I suspect that you have another large bench vise padded and mounted elsewhere in your shop.   I am wondering where are your side supports both sides of that bench vise to support those nice long rifles in progress?>  Maybe coming later

[D. Taylor Sapergia]

All of the stuff I had in the shop was boxed up and carried into the rec room just around the corner by my niece Carol (Daryl's daughter).  After the reno, I slowly put things back, and I'm almost finished.  And I still have shelf space!  Ta da!!!

Roger, I've set a project into the vise so you can see how I support the floaty end.  Sometimes, I lash it down, and other times clamp it.  Like Jed.  More like Elli-May.

 The shop looks like it is well set up and organised. (Something I am sorely lacking in) Even in the pictures the lighting looks good, What are you using for lights?

Thanks, Tim C.

Looking good Taylor.  I'll get lost now that everything has changed.  You have to give me the grand tour when I get there next week.

[George F.]

Taylor it looks good, disgustingly too neat. I'd be lost in a shop so neat. I'm so use to putting a tool down and spending an hour looking for it again.  ..Geo.

Nice space, Taylor. looks like you will have it all in reach. Cool.
