A new shop in the making #18: Cedar scalloped siding on and light hooked up

Bob;

I hate to have to say this, but I can see why she’s the boss.

It does look real good.

I am surprised the window planters aren’t installed yet!

It kind of has a facial quality to it with two eyes , a nose and a forehead with neatly trimmed bangs : ) Nice job

Bob. She lets you play, so don’t get too mad. After 45 years I gotten to the point it only delays the process to suggest something different.

Looks real nice Bob. Thanks for the update.

looks great Bob…..............I like the window planter idea

Today is “install the eaves trough day”.
I have already had a request to design corbels on each side to accomodate hanging baskets and the 2 planters are to be scalloped as well.
I’m concerned about end grain exposure but apparently they can be replaced when they crack! :-(
The steps into the shed are to be curved Allan blocks or similar.
Oh joy!

I think your wife did have the right idea. It does make your shop look better.

Do you still think that this is your work shop? Maybe “she who must be obeyed” has an ulterior motive for all this extra work.

One thing is for sure – it is a fantastic looking project – I hope you get your heating up and running soon, for sure, either you or ”The Boss” is going to need come the winter. 8-)

Tom:
I hate it whne they are right. -Too humbling and it smarts a bit.

Toni, you may be on to something:
Last year I introduced my wife to woodworking and shortly after I had a brand new 18” bandsaw.
This year I start making a simple shed in the back yard and it now looks like a guest house.

Does this mean I’m on my way out?

P.S, -apparently corbels on each side would look nice too if they had finials to hang planters on.
The front step up would be ever so much nicer if it was done in architectural stone and in a semicircle.

I will never get inside to the tools!
By the time I take my Tyenol and my A-535 rub I’m no contest for logic. <vbg>

I’m glad someone has taken control of this project! I’m just catching up, Bob. I’ve been gone. It’s really looking like it’s coming along.

Looking too good to be a workshop Bob. Looks like it might become an Arts and Crafts shop :-)

Hi Mot. Talk about sweat equity. Man O Man!
I have dropped about 20 lbs on this little venture.

Gary this place can become a lot of things but “arts and crafts” is not going to be one of them! <vbg>

I knew a guy a few years back that completey turned me off scroll saws and scroll clocks and firewood bowls and crafts in general.

Every time I see some of this stuff I think of that goon. <g>

Cheers

Bob,
Where is your shop? I just got back from having been away; I go to look at “Bob’s shop progress” and there is a guest house. Next time in Alberta I hope you have a vacancy (I’ll take the planer/jointer bed if it come with breakfast!)

It does look great! I’m looking forward to seeing the inside.

SM- We always have room for company here!.
Thanks for checking out my progress

The foot print is small so I have to be careful how I arrange my stuff inside.
Built two high boy shelves for the once in a while stuff to run along both sides of the main floor at the 8 foot level.
