Bentiron1946 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Let me see know, the front door should face East to greet the rising sun. That way you can scatter corn pollen for a blessing on the day.:cool: That sure is some dry country you got there. Looks a bit drier then mine you lucky guy. You going to build a solar forge too.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Martin Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 MEanCoyote? I have no idea your welding experience, but I was wondering if you are welding the ceiling onto it, and the walls? And if you are welding the ceiling, how do you make it waterproof? Just run a bead in the cracks between pieces??? Sorry for not knowing, and not knowing what you're going to do for your roof, just wondering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lumpkins Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'll keep a eye on this one, Please keep us posted, When do you expect to have it finished and what inspired you with the Octagon style.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meancoyote Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Things are going slower then I want them too. I have not had much money to put into it lately, so Im making do with stuff I can get free. Dunno what the roof is gonna be made of yet, depends on what I find laying around. I made it a octagon shape to make the best use of the 8' angle iron I used to build it. Learning alot about electrical stuff right now. The electrical is the worst part of my current shop, so I want to do this one good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayco Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Meancoyote, looks like you're making progress to me!.The last pics I saw of your new shop, you could see through the walls.....now you can't....that's progress in my book. I like the idea of the metal construction.(my new shop is a wooden structure). In one fell swoop, you've greatly reduced the chances of your shop burning (old wooden shops are quite vulnerable to loss by fire. And you don't have to worry about termites and rot! By the way, I haven't gotten any more work done on my shop, lately. A whole bunch of other jobs have come up that must be finished first. I've been using the break in shop construction to think about how I want the forge to be set up. There's no time lost in careful planning. Your new shop is looking good!

meancoyote Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Got more done, have not been able to work on it much lately, but i have scrounged more materials. I have 16 4' x 10' x 16ga sheets of sheetmetal for the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lumpkins Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I was wondering if you got her done yet and how its coming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
