It’s going to be a bit before I get back to my woodworking as I’ve added yet another stand-a-lone building (metal) to the back yard, I mean after all what’s a backyard for if you’re not going to use it right? grins

For many years I was trying to go for the non cluttered look in the back yard by not adding anymore then I had to, but it finally came to the point that my woodworking would take precedence in my mind and also as a business standpoint, so I just added another 8×10 metal storage building aside my workshop for the extra needed work space, wood storage and also to act as a finishing booth as I had been doing all of my previous finishing on my wooden deck making a mess of it, once I get the 8’ work bench inside and all complete I’ll take a few pictures as there’s still more to do.

Having a proper finishing area becomes essential. Good luck.

Randy that sounds good
You can always put a trellis to hide it if it bugs you.
When I have a large job for finishing, I’ll even use the living room
It is only a living room if I make a living. :)

I only do hand finishes anyway
