Mancave

[crosslandkelly]

Thanks all. I got to this stage yesterday, and that will be about it for a week or so, have to go to work. The roof beam is a 100mmx50mm ladder beam construction, clad on both sides with 12mm WBP ply, using PVA glue and 30mm annular ring nails.

Looks good - pray for no high winds between now and finishing!

Lol, I don't think the wind will shift this beast, or if the winds are that high, I'd be more concerned about the house. Thanks Hugh.

May mate thought that when bolting an industrial sized greenhouse together.



It wound up on top of his wife's car!


I'm sure that monster will be okay though

That's what he said when she told him....just after he enquired

"Is the greenhouse okay?"

Hi Steve, yes it's all up and running with lights and power. I still need to insulate and line the inside, but the pressure is off and I can still work in there.

We want pictures man... get clicking

 

[Biker]

Yeah wot Steve said.

As it often said - Pictures, or it didn't happen.

We need pictures

You asked for it. The roof still needs an Arris rail around the back and sides, then I can finish the felting. The roof slopes 350mm in 4m so there is an adequate fall. I still need to insulate and line the inside, but it is a usable space as it is. Just fettling me sharps, ready for the moot at the moment.

Looks good - time to build a really solid workbench after you do the walls!

 

[Goatboy]

That's looking cracking Colin, good amount of space for cats swinging and practicing yer London Irish Clog dancing routine. Are you expecting trouble at MOOT? With that amount of sharps laid out I'd expect to see Ragnar Lothbrok and his chums getting ready for a visit.

I already have the bench in storage Hugh.

Now you know you can't have enough sharps and shinies at these things GB. A lot of them were well used last weekend in Suffolk when I ran the Bhutanese bow course.

looking good That's a good size Man Cave too by the looks of it, plenty of space to fill with junk! I suggest more than one bench, you can never have too many

My cave is becoming a labyrinth of caves these days. The main workshop had a second dry room (for leatherwork and wood storage) built a few yeas ago, then last year a small room was added to house my heat treating furnaces. Now I'm preparing to build another large room for less dusty/messy engineering kit and a small room to house my compressor. I'm like a gas, the more space I have the more I will fill!

Very nice mate!

 

[Mesquite]

Very nice indeed Colin, I can tell you're going to have hours of fun in there
