ChrisK Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 So, made a little head way while sheltering in place for this massive (yeah right) snow storm. Ended up getting about 8"!!!! Ha! Ice and cold so the snow was super light! Just prior to the snow fly NH I hit Lowes and HD and got a couple of sets of casters, some SPAX and some plywood and a couple of 2x4s. All in all the lumber wall is almost done, I have to add a Port a Mate lumber rack but here is the latest....this is an modified version of Marc Spagnoulos lumber rack. I did not have plans but I watched his video of his and it looked quite simple to do, I modified mine to save space and more importantly, money! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Also....overall 60" long by roughly 15" deep. The back section as 2 pine stick uprights to help the 18" high plywood walls keep full and partial sheets of plywood firmly in place. Swings out nice and wide with the help of a couple of 2" casters. Not sure about the hinge attachment. It works just fine but it looks like I might need to re approach that and marry another stick to the vertical stud to make things even more solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Today saw another wall get skinned, the port a mate lumber rack go up, all of my lumber and sheet goods get put away and a home made pizza is waiting to get assembled in a most fastidious fashion. However home made pizza dough can wait while Samuel Adams takes me away...takes me away...takes me.....

They are nice simple racks, too Oh yeah Not Carl! All about the shop! When we sold our last home, I was in a rush so one of my port a mates stayed behind but with the super lumber rack I built into the joists and this one off to the side plus the lumber cart all of my wood is off the deck and I finally had room to actually walk around. I'll take some pics tomorrow after we get back from my accountants office and get our taxes done. I've got to finish skinning one wall and then hang my two Gladiator cabinets on that wall and run more line for outlets, ha g one more shop light and then get the Tekton air compressor reel hung. I also got to use my new Supermax dust collector real quick. Ssssweeeeeeeeeeeeeet..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely home made, my wife makes the dough for me and then it is up to the big kahuna to make the magic happen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Made some headway to, all of the walls are now skinned, I hung the two Gladiator cabinets and started some light organization. Next? I have to demo a huge cabinet made by the former home owner and this will give me three feet of depth where my Sawstop is.

I actually just purchased some permanent mounts for those so I can build an actual station with permanent wings and still use the wings. Problem is I bought them through Rockler and it looks like they messed the order up so I am still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup thems the ones. Of course rockler gets them directly from Fastcap and they screwed up the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
