    Nice work.

    My faux beams were so high, and distressed, so I knew it'd be wasted effort to do any nice joinery.

    I have the same planer, and I don't see how you run it without a collector.
    Even outside ... what a mess!

          I was thinking about getting a bigger capacity but my G0454Z does good. I have a Woodmaster W3875 drum sander and with #40 grit installed I can remove quite of bit of wood on glue ups/counter tops/doors wider than 20” The sander does have dust collection.

            If you get a 24", I'm asking for your help now.
            I have some big mesquite slabs that I'd like to make into (single piece top) cornhole boards.

                looks amazing you have some skills!

                I was wondering why you needed the supports?. those I beams usually will hold a heck of alot of weight... I know in mine I have a 3 ton trolley and have lifted some heavy stuff right off the main I beam

                  Every time I open your threads I admire your craftsmanship. With as much as your wife helps you I'd bet she could out build most of TBH!

                    I am not an engineer so tend to over build things. When I welded up the building I used the same beams as I did on the shop I built 10 years ago. knowing it will support the R panel but I added nearly 3000lbs of shiplap ceiling so I felt the span called for something. It gives me a little peace of mind. We did get 11" of snow here on Christmas day 2004 so I also have to think about that additional load every 25 years or so

                    The mrs did not like them until we covered the tubing but she has changed he mind. I does take away from the space though its right at 1000 sq ft

                      We have been married for 31 years now and she has been soul mate, mother of 2 daughters and helper for that time. There is nothing and I mean nothing she wont attempt to do. Notice I said attempt there, sometimes she messes with things I prograstinate on. She doesn't like to sit still either and cracks the whip on me all the time. Yesterday while I was staining doors she went out and shredded about 10 acres and lunch ready at noon.

                      Here she is on top of a ladder in white capris and sandals helping me with the barndo roof beam.



                      I could/can not do alot of things without her support and help.
                      I am very very blessed to have found her and married her.
