Daniel.85 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Sold the old house and shop, getting the next shop built at the new house. This one is 24x32x10 with a 6" slab, 200amp service(power for induction!), wall mount a/c unit in the back, insulation and drywall later. Its almost a foot thick around the outside! Solid decking for the roof, kinda hard to see. Now waiting on the siding and doors coming in the next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 SWEET project Daniel! Which was more fun, standing the walls or rolling the trusses up? I LOVE it when the build is ON! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel.85 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 I will do a bigger exhaust system if I ever need one, I wont be burning any fossil fuels or charcoal for a while. Not sure about the frost line here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Nice shop! I remember how excited I was when I did mine. And then the shed. And then the second shop. They ain't NEVER big enough! What goes where? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Greetings Dan, Sweet building.. Through the years I have built many.. You might have seen my line shaft shop thread .. I am a fan of more than one large door and 12 foot pads in front.. Makes it so nice to move equipment in and out and a working surface outside not to mention the natural light and fresh air.. The more cement you add the less grass to cut... LOL I'm down to 3 1/2 acres to cut and 11 buildings.. Good luck and I wish you well.. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It looks to me like you haven't planted the thick hedge or stand of bamboo between your shop and the house in the background as a sound attenuater better get it in soon so it has time to grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick60 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Wow looks awsome!!! I have never seen anyone just clear the grass and pour a slab right on top of the ground. Of course we have a frost line in Va and the ground is soggy just two feet under in some areas so poured foundations are the norm. Looks great look forward to seing it finished out. Looks like plenty of room for a garden to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Here in the desert we're rated for direct ground pours being basically subsoil all the way up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 The slab is on gravel, I didn't get pictures of that I guess. I dont think anywhere here in Missouri would want to set the concrete directly on the ground and yes there is lots of room for a garden, I'll do one next spring. I plan on planting 8 or 10 various fruit trees in the fall down the side of the shop in a row of 2. I'm running wire right now for the outlets and stuff... speaking of wire.. I wired Ken Zitur some money this morning for something..... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Coming along nicely, you nay want to consider moving the out let boxes out to 1", so you can slip 1/2 OSB behind the drywall a shop is hard on the lower wall finishes, and long stock has ben known to hole the upper portions.

Iron Bird Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Very nice! Can't wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 why are all the recepts on the same circuit ? If you split them up over 2 or 3 be less problems in the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have the 120v receptacles split in to 3 circuits, North(4 outlets), West(3 outlets) and South(4 outlets), the lights, a/c and 240v outlets are each separate as well.

Daniel.85 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 9 circuits total for now, I will add more as I need. I had to order some 4/3 online for the induction circuit, wasn't easy to find locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Lutes Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looks like it is going to be a nice shop. I put all the receptacles 4 ft off floor. I don't like bending over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've been busy... R13 insulation 44 12ft sheets of 5/8" sheetrock, I had 7 extra when it was done and used some of that on the quiet room for the air compressor. Painted and Lights hung 1x4x12 cedar for some cheap trim Starting some shelves, 1x12x12 with about 13" between, wouldn't want to waste wall space! Little shelf up in the back.. and a safety sign!(keeps my wife happy) More shelves This is that red sign on the wall, though it would be cool with my drill presses.

Daniel.85 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Built a desk and a stock rack from with some ladder rack my brother gave me and leftover wood from the shop build, the only thing I had to buy was the bolts to hold it together. I can hold up to 10ft barstock which is good for me. Still needs sanding and a clear coat. 20" Drill press makes it easy! Cutting the horizontal support bars. It is anchored to the wall studs with long screws as well in 10 spots. Total cost was just under $20, its heavy and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Quiet room for my compressor, the entire thing is insulated and has 5/8" sheetrock on both sides. I will add ventilation through the attic if I need to later. I framed a wall-door thing, I may shop around for a real door some day... I will put a video up of how quite it makes it.

Daniel.85 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Quick video, I am using the breaker to turn the compressor on and off, once the door is shut just listen for the breaker flip and that's when the compressor is going if you cant hear it well enough :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
