Now it’s my turn for a workshop build thread

[Seahawk]

Nice!

I refinished a few old work benches that came with the farm...sanded, stained and sealed them. I would at least seal the doors you repurposed...my are still holding up with no "marks" from oil, gun cleaning stuff, etc.

Again, nicely done!

Hey Paul it's looking good ! Nice repurposing on the solid core doors . It's amazing how quickly a large empty space gets small when filled with stuff

I didn't realize it has been so long since my last update.

I ordered and finally installed the back door. I don't know it at the time I ordered but I have a diamond plate door. I looked at the Lowe's website and my order and no where does it say it would have this finish. It says smooth. But after I got it's kinda grown on me and everyone I show it to likes it.

Also got my garage door too...........

And started the Hardie plank siding and trim.

Cool door.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I like the door, sort of a bonus.

[URY914]

First time working with cement board plank siding. Stuff is heavy and if you let it flip sideways it will break. It comes primed or colored and I'm using the primed. 7.25" x 12' cost $7.99 a board.

I also picked up these perfect cabinets from a reno project at work. Super nice. They were headed to the dumpster. 14 l.f. and the doors swing 180 degrees.

I forget the brand of you installation clamps but that are the BOMB! I used them when installing the Nichiha plank siding on my 38x60 shop. I used 16' lengths rather than 12' though.

Edit: Just noticed - you're not matching the reveal of the new siding to match the existing?

Looks great!

Leave a small gap at the ends and butt joints. Also, where a mask...That dust is a killer.

That corner is the only place where the new meets the old siding. The old siding is cedar planks the new ones aren't available in a size that is a exact match. I didn't want to have to rip all the planks down to match so I can live with it.

Coming along nicely Paul and that diamond tread door is cool !

[URY914]

Today's progress.

I can really cover it up when I only need to cut every other plank.

In the morning.....




In the afternoon...

[rfuerst911sc]

Looks great Paul what do you cut that with ? It's cement board correct ?

[URY914]

Yes cement board. This site gives a very good description of the material........

[URY914]

The planks continue...........

[rfuerst911sc]

You are so close you can taste it Looks very clean good luck to completion .

[URY914]

It's been awhile so here's a update;

Continuing around with the siding/planks. I had to figure out the best way to put in a hose bibb. Need to keep it waterproof.

[URY914]

The hose bibb is on the wall that the scaffold is against. Just one more wall to go.
