Clutch47 Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 I love the light in the shop. Looks like you're going to have a great place to spend time. The strength of your shelving...you'll be able to use it to anchor a engine chain fall 😀 I'm looking forward to the strength of this project. Not sure if I want to use conventional lag bolts or the construction lag/screws. There will be 4 in each brace connecting them to the 6x8 posts and maybe one on each end too. Depends how it comes together. Those torx head construction (?) Screws really impress me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, metallurgy and the tools to drive them have come a LONG way. I like Ledgerlok and GRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit scores are important in today's arena, not to mention the clean up costs from repeated slaughtering could prove to be deep. Hence the need for credit. All jokes aside, it's good to hear people getting out from under the weight of medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the braces mounted after scabbing in some pieces between the steel liner panels and the frame posts. Friend came over and we built boxes. Used some leftover siding boards from my house build on the bottom glued and Brad nailed on. White face down. Once they're all up, I'll wire in the 3..4 foot lights I've been saving for this. They will be topped with OSB and some black siding boards are going to get ripped and glud/nailed on the face to finish it. Almost there... and I ran out of steam. Finish it another day soon.

Clutch47 Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Done. Used some black siding boards for the face finish. From the front edge straight to the ceiling is 28 inches, and about 25 in the rear. Plenty of storage space. I'm planning to put 2 or 3 mini-bikes and Z-50s up there after I get my truck done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
