Coming together nicely Web! I really like you will have plenty of natural light in the shop. I'm hoping to build a small 10 x15 shop in my backyard, still this year. I've been working in a 10 x 12 space in my garage for the past five years. I planning to keep (most ) of that space plus the backyard shop. I only have my lathe, bandsaw and combo. disc/belt sander (no flat work) for bigger power equipment. Bandsaw and sander are on wheel platforms, so I will be fine with the space. Also - bought an "almost new" Oneida dust collector to replace my Oneida mini-Gorilla rig I've been using.
What did you do in your shop today?

And this is what the slat wall looks like all filled up.
I love to see a plan come to fruition.

Nice job Greg. Makes a nice display that can easily be updated and modified to keep it current and to keep people interested.

Wasn't in my shop but was right in front of it. A buddy had a couple benches blow out on him so I agreed to cut out some replacement parts. (Review of warrior ,.by harbor freight tablesaw) /Junk/ smoked out cutting cedar 1 inch stock with a new freud blade. About 40 cuts in.
Fortunately I had a backup rigid job site saw.
Also.note that the wen spiral planer isn't the strongest thing out there. Lasts about 2 years in hobby use then smoked out...
so I cut the pieces out but will not plan to.plane.them to.size.

Is that like a park bench?
Yes.
He has two park style benches with the cast inserts in the back. They are more stable than the old style but a pain to cut out.
I'm getting ready to run a stabilizing batch tomorrow. Got my blanks together, did a little minor trimming so they fit, made a taller, slender container for some long cottonwood bark thins Jerry ( @Nubsnstubs ) sent me quite some time ago because I didn't want to cut them shorter. Got the baking oven out and started cooking the blanks to see if they'll dry any more. Using the weight method to check.
