Workshop in progress

Doesn’t sound like you’re a “slacker” to me. Sounds like you’ve been busy and will be busier still. Good luck getting to a new house. Of course, the way the housing market is, you may not have to worry about moving anytime soon.

You certainly have been busy. In your next house I hope you can find the space to continue your shop building exercise.

Good luck.

Wow! I really want to see a closer shot of the surf board rack…that’s what I need.

The surfboard rack is just two 2×4’s hung vertically, I think the separation is 48”. I drilled in a hole every 10 inches or so (enough space to clear the fins from one board to the other), one inch diameter, at a slight angle and inserted one-inch dowels.

Moveing and haveing to start from stracth can be great, but time consuming. I have, for the last few month have been trying to get my shop finished. Take your time and keep us updated.

Just hanging around the house thinking of packing and moving and how unfun that would be, I decided to do something useful that I had been thinking about. So I cut some long strips with a triangular cross section and glued and stapled them to the underside of the well covers on the newfangled bench.

Now, if I wanted to paint something, I can turn the well covers around (triangle strips facing up), put the piece on the strips, and be able to control paint runoffs a little better. I dont know if these triangles have a name, but I think they will work real well.
