Shaping up in my shop

[country_boy]

Built this nice strong solid lumber rack. Its suspended by heavy duty chains from a grandfather clock. Like I always say about stuff I build it helps to work at a cabinet shop, I bring home all kinds of stuff.

Impressive! I wish I had the time to tinker. Too many projects, too few resources.

Just remove the part you don't need and show us what is left over

I'm wonderin' what's gonna happen when the chain breaks....<SEG> But ignore me - I overbuild to a fare-thee-well! My workshop is a 16 x 20 I built myself in the back yard...the breaker panel is the same size as the one in my HOUSE!

Chains are doubled, always good to over engineer then to under. I need to hang more shop lights under there, too many dark areas. I got my planer setup, now I need to run power to it, and then start building my air delivery system.

My problem is I do a little of everything - wood, steel, and guns. I've always preferred doin' steel to wood, but like doin' some of the wood as well. I built the shop myself, includin' double dutch doors out of tongue-and-groove cedar. Interior is 9' ceilings, 2 - 8' shop lights, fully insulated. (2) duplex outlets every 4', at 46" height, each "home-runned" back to the breaker box - no dimming lights when you kick on a big motor in THIS shop! (3) 220 vac outlets as well - an' a pair of duplexed exterior outlets, too. Ya don't wanna know what I spent buiding it, but it was worth every cent IMO!

the main problem is people live too far away to help out.

Be thankful. When I was building mine, I had "help" twice. First one, I finally ran off about halfway through the day - he spent half the time questioning why I was doing things the way I was. <note that this ain't the first thing I've built.....he'd never even built a doghouse>. Second time WAS better - son an' a neighbor helped me put the shingles on.
