Members Black Dogg Posted January 17, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 As a bit of an update to an old post, here is the shop as it looks now with the walls done. The boards are 1x6 spruce straight from the sawmill and just lightly sanded on the out-facing side. Brightens things up nicely! The view out the windows is still the same, I just had to take the pictures at night so I wouldn't get all the glare from the sun. The windows still need trimming, that'll come soon. And yes, Black Dogg Leather the name of my shop! Black Dogg Quote

Members georgiapine85 Posted January 17, 2018 Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 I like it! Looks like you have an awesome view out those windows too. Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted January 19, 2018 Members Report Posted January 19, 2018 Can I come and live with you lol I am jealous mate great set up! Quote
Reegesc Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Excellent finish out. I'll bet it smells as good as it looks with all that freshly sawn spruce. Years ago I built a small stand alone shed (nothing special) and for a couple weeks afterward I would hang out in the evenings with an AM radio tuned to a country station, a cooler of beers, and just take in the smell of the freshly cut wood. I wouldn't be surprised if you were doing the same. :-) Thanks for the update. Edit: On the other hand, a shop named "Black Dogg" is probably listening to a classic rock station however. :-) Edited January 19, 2018 by cseeger Quote
Members Black Dogg Posted January 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2018 Thank you all for the kind comments! Yes, it's been a while in the making, but I finally have the set-up that I've always wanted. georgiapine85: The view is great, you are right about that. I'm hoping the wildlife will get used to me being there (now that I have moved to the Cabin permanently) and looking forward to seeing some deer or turkeys mosey by while I'm working . cseeger: The spruce doesn't smell much anymore; it was sawn in May of last year and has spent its time drying in the Cabin, so it could shrink before I nailed up. But while it was sitting in the stack in the living room it smelled good. And yes, it's country tunes for me (mostly, sometimes some oldies, too). The name Black Dogg is because I like black dogs (Labs in particular). See my other post here: Black Dogg Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 It just looks like paradise. Quote
Members Black Dogg Posted January 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks, bikermutt! It is paradise, considering the set-up I had in my apartments, where everything was crammed together and I only had small windows. The best days here are in the winter when it's a snowy day and I can sit and carve while looking at the falling flakes. Doesn't get much better than that! Black Dogg Quote
