Another little project that I tackled this year - turning the messy carport into a nice workshop. I always love to produce something and the long-term plan is to build wood-strip canoes or kayaks together with my children. I prepared the room already for the gate when I did the walls a couple of years ago, so all I need is to build the gate, add a workbench at the end of the room and a rack to store the wood-strips. That's what we have now:
Still a bit messy
The room is a bit small, but fortunately big enough to have the gate on the floor
The joints at the top...
...and the bottom
Preparing the frames
Adding the stiffeners
All parts ready for assembly
Mounting it is the fun part
Three wings mounted by a proud, young carpenter
We need a few small parts for the outside planking - so we had to build a table saw first
Probably not the safest tool on earth
Planking the doors
The judge checking the intermediate results
Door-handle and lock
Two wings at the right side
Done
Lots of remains went into the workbench
And a few into the rack
Our workshop :o)
