The end of my week at home and I'm happy enough with the progress. There are 2 rows to finish on the back side, 1 on the front and then the gable at the far end. I'm about 5 boards short to do it all :ROFLMAO: . Me covering up those windows has bitten me a little there I think. Anyway, pentice...

No problem. Heres the post in the design forum with the links to some of the videos I watched to learn how to use it. My design ended up being almost entirely scalable by changing some parameters and involved some daft formulas to make it happen but even that was only using a tiny fraction of...

That's great Mike thanks. I see you've recently moved your hinges too!

I'd planned to just do the same as seen here. The door hinges will be secured to the vertical boards. If by frame you mean the bit that stops the door swinging inwards then yes it'll be back from the front face of those vertical boards.

Hi Gary, I used Fusion 360, its free to use for anything short of actual commercial work. I actually have the entire workshop in a file that (if I find the right version of the file) is scalable so you (or I) can modify it to suit your requirements.

How about this. Rather than chopping out the existing boards used to frame the door, I instead use a new 10mmm board secured to the battens over the door like this at an appropriate angle. I can still put some spare DPC on top as additional protection. Keeps the door opening square and would...

I think I understand. I did have a look at your thread yesterday for inspiration but couldn't see anything bit I'll have another look. Phil where did you get the drip strip?

Well that's it for the cladding today as I have no more painted boards left. I was on track to be able to do 2 rows on the long side with just 3 boards, till I remembered that there isn't a stud at 4.8m from one end so I'd have to cut every board until I reached the windows. Since the windows...

I've done the boards either side of the door and before I make an arse of myself I just wanted to check something. For the next board here, am I just cutting a door sized notch in one board? I'm wondering about water dripping from the edge of that board onto the top of the door frame rather...

Ha that's where I have been doing it because of this poxy weather! I appreciate the nice tan I got doimgtthe building work over lock down but it's been crap it feels like for a month. Naturally it started raining again just as I started boarding again today so I finished off upto the start of...

It's like painting a sponge. A full 9" roller covers maybe 3 or at best 4ft before needingto be dunked again. I took to stacking 4 boardsaand doing the edges while they were clamped together, then laid them out to rolled the faces. Seemed faster somehow. Still got about 30 to do but basically...

Well I only went and did it. Today after arguing with a shower door for longer than I'd like in one of the holiday cottages I actually did work on the workshop! I needed to get my wedges cut for my bottom board, but since I figured that would be easiest with a bottom board with the routed...

Thanks for the info. I've had a trade point card for years but frankly never used it as they are still expensive! I always go at least full extension. I'm even tempted to get the ones that actually go further this time so that they clear the drawer above. I was thinking either fire doors like...

I neglected to ask, which kitchen cabinets did you get? B&Q? Did you find a nice supplier of cheap drawer slides? and how about the fire door blanks?

That how mine felt as I was doing it 😂

I appreciate your faith in my skills Mike but I promise it's misplaced 😂 Surely the door is dependant on acquiring materials somewhere near straight in the first place? I'm assuming you made the 30mm half lap with a router? I still don't get why my thread is pinned to the top 🤪

Thanks chaps. It does feel a bit cheating though but with life as it is its the only sensible option. I'm away from home for work and then when in home it's dad duties, other household duties, helping run the holiday cottages etc. It's exactly the type of thing I build the workshop to be able to...

Thanks Nelsun but I'm going to have to get some made up as I'm too busy at work and don't have the confidence to get this done myself in the time I do have. It seems ridiculous after doing all the rest of it to be quite honest. I've only spent a little time using the tiny titan PT that I have...

Right chaps. I'm at a dead end with this in part due to work and everything else going on on the farm. I need help. The paint is here and so is the FE so I can maybe get cracking on that if it ever stops raining again, but I have literally no idea what to do about doors and I'm running so low...

Wow Phil you've been busy! Looking fantastic! I have plans for simething like that for storage but we'll see how long it takes :ROFLMAO:
