Maybe a small scale siege tower? For those really annoying neighbors.

 

[Peter]

I want a siege engine. And a trebuchet!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hmmmm 12 acres with near by wild land... I could totally dig a trebuchet!

 

[Dave Shepard]

It's a kid storage unit.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Haha!

 

[PCTREE]

Yes it is kid storage, upstairs is Whylies room downstairs is Woodys. Gotta "keep um separated"

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... Ideas...........

 

[Raj]

Any blind mortised dovetails??

 

[PCTREE]

nope

 

[Dave Shepard]

We finally finished the siding on the garden shed today. It will get painted this week, then we just have the doors to build, but that won't happen right away. Graduation party next weekend, so we had to push to get it done. Friends son graduates on the 27th and has to report to the merchant marines on the 30th. Big summer vacation.

 

[MasterBlaster]

So frigging cool!!!

Can I live there?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Next in line

 

[Burnham]

Beautiful, Dave.

 

[FireFighterZero]

The one I want looks like a friggin outhouse. That is wonderful Dave.

Every time I work in that building I'm thinking where I would put everything. If you made the part on the right into living space, you could have a really awesome little house. I might try to do a short video tour sometime.

I've been working on a 12'x16' Sobon Shed on spec this summer. Haven't had the time to do much now that I'm working full time, but I did manage to get all the parts to the first bent done today so I stood it up. I'm going to raise the entire frame then take pics and pull it apart. I may hang a for sale sign on it. If it doesn't sell, it's going on the front lawn of one of my friends John Deere stores. Maybe park a fancy Gator in it.

 

[PCTREE]

man I get a hard on just looking at that shit!!

Nice work, I just wish modern building had just an ounce of the quality.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I've had people slowing down for weeks with just the four sill timbers on blocks. I'm probably going to wake up to a bunch of rubber neckers piled up in my yard tomorrow.

 

[FireFighterZero]

What do suppose UPS would charge to ship that to Montana?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just build me a house and be done with it!

 

[Dave Shepard]

Got three girts and a floor joists done tonight. I'm going to have to saw some more parts this week.

 

[Dave Shepard]

A lot more cars slowing down now that there is a bent up. Even heard the anti lock come on on one tonight.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Uhhhhh...

PICS!

 

[Maximalist]

Please rate my attempts of design ...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice, Max!
