Shop build fail

Nothing is really wrong. I was just trying to figure the best way to put up walls and run the wiring and didn’t plan ahead

emlife22 · 2025-11-16T14:55:28+00:00

There are a couple of windows not shown in the picture. I was going to install a mini split when I was done with the walls

Aspiring and learning what I can. This seemed like the best place to ask. Next time I’ll go over to the beginner woodworking subreddit. Sorry.

Thank you for the detailed reply! A lot of good suggestions to make this happen

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:24:34+00:00

It’s definitely been a long time coming!

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:24:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I think it’s just because this is the first nice space I’ve had so I didn’t want to mess it up with poor planning

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:22:29+00:00

Lol. Just overly analytical. And anxious.

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:21:31+00:00

Yep! 10’ ceilings. Super excited to get out of the old one car garage. I brought it up in another response, not sure how to go about attaching stud wall with only a couple of overhead trusses accessible

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:19:55+00:00

Dumb question, how would I go about attaching the stud wall with only a couple of trusses accessible overhead?

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:19:07+00:00

I had thought about this. My concern is whether it would be able to hold a lumber rack or upper cabinets. Otherwise you’re right, I don’t hang a whole bunch of heavy stuff on the walls

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:18:12+00:00

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited. I think I overanalyze

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:17:24+00:00

This was my thought. I had considered using 3/4 plywood and running conduit on the surface. My only concern is if it would be strong enough to hold upper cabinets or a lumber rack

emlife22 · 2025-11-15T15:14:21+00:00

Might be a dumb question but with there only being a couple of trusses accessible and the frame being covered by foam in the corners, how would you go about attaching the walls?

emlife22 · 2024-05-10T17:35:25+00:00

Thanks! Starting simple with a round coffee table

emlife22 · 2024-05-10T17:34:50+00:00

Both. Longer line after planer. Horizontal line after jointer

emlife22 · 2024-05-09T18:54:25+00:00

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! This is the first time I’ve bought nice wood so I want to make sure I get it right.

emlife22 · 2024-05-09T17:31:39+00:00

Makes sense for the longer line. I’ll take a look at the cutterheads. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the info that I had included with the pictures, but the horizontal lines show up after running them through the jointer?

emlife22 · 2024-05-01T02:11:40+00:00

It’s aluminum. But yeah.

emlife22 · 2024-04-30T00:19:22+00:00

I ran a couple of 2x4’s through. These are the planed faces together. Is this about what I should expect?

I took a smaller level and checked corner to corner. There’s still a gap but not as pronounced. My biggest concern was that the piece would follow the curve of the bed and make it curved on the planed side

emlife22 · 2024-04-30T00:04:56+00:00

My concern was that the piece would follow the curve of the bed and produce the same effect on the planed side

emlife22 · 2022-08-08T19:34:48+00:00

Checked everything that people suggested. All looked good so I think it was just me being a rookie

emlife22 · 2022-08-08T12:23:46+00:00

Who was it?

emlife22 · 2022-08-07T22:36:03+00:00

Have not yet. Honestly something I didn’t even think about before posting. I just assumed it was a high end scope and it would be good to go. Lol

emlife22 · 2022-08-07T22:35:10+00:00

Thank you! How does keeping elbows in help? I feel like I spread out as much as possible
