Hi, Pitch pine,
New on here, I'm look forward to seeing the end result.. Excellent what you are doing.. I've needed a workshop for the past year.. Finally getting one supplied.. Hunted for months to find something good.. Can find thick frame, thin cladding, board floor/roof, or thin frame, thick cladding.. All sorts of mixes, single/double doors, glass/ plastic windows, all types of wood.. :?: :?: :?: . Hopefully, the thin frame, 2 x 1 3/4 with 22mm cladding, that's roof an floor also.. will stand the test of time.. Would like to put something together like yours.. Lucky man.. Happy building an best regards.. David..

Hi David

I understand your dilema about buying a workshop....if it helps my build wasn't quick (about 18 months) or cheap! I had the time and wanted to enjoy the build, which I did most of the time....apart from when I decided the skylight frames weren't up to scratch and had to take them out and build again from scratch.......

Hi, Pitch pine,

Thank you for reply, I've 10 more slabs to lay for the base, and remember to call today about delivery date.. so I'm getting there..
Look forward to photos of your finished workshop.. I've taken photos, (having seen your, reminded me to take some) so will have to work out posting them on here when finished.. Take care and best regards.. David... 8)

Here is how the siding boards looked freshly fitted:

And a shot from the inside, still no floor yet:

You can see the scarf joint in the wall plate above the window. No fancy joinery here, held with stainless studding. There is also a scarf in the sill beam below the post between the windows.[/u]

That is looking fantastic.

I'm so jealous

Hi. PP,
Coming on well, you've gone vertical with the cladding ?? and cover board, better for rain run off. Look forward to more photos. David..

Another angle with the oak cladding finished

The sun always shines in Northumberland!

The sun certainly wasn't shinig last week when I was in Hexham, in fact it was p*****g down, horizontaly - made me feel quite at home.

 

[crazylilting]

took me a long time to search for this thread. I've enjoyed the updates of this build and wondering how your doing?

 

[pitch pine]

Done and finished.......!

Sorry I stopped posting photos. I shall dig out some more.

 

[pitch pine]

Doors on......only photo I can find at the moment.

Well it's very nice and has settled into the property nicely as well. Really looks like it belongs there. Not like mine it sticks out like a sore thumb and takes up half the garden much to my partners dismay. However she likes that i work at home, she works part time so we get to see each other during the day, have lunch together and watch a bit of something in the afternoon for a half an hour or so.

Thanks for sharing your project, it has been one of my favorite builds.

 

[pitch pine]

Thanks for that.

I originally set out to build a garage to work on triumph cars but when I had finished decided that I wanted to spend my spare time fiddling with bits of wood rather than old vehicles. Fitting a solid fuel rayburn has made it a rather nice place to sit too!

 

[OPJ]

Wow, that does like very nice. And, I'm sure your eyes will benefit from having all that natural light.

Now, go and make some shavings in it!!

 

[pitch pine]

Olly

The best thing about the building is the natural light. It was tricky to do the windows and flashing but worth it.

Shavings have already been made, in large quantities....no actual furniture yet though...

I would have taken the verticals (under the scarf joint) down to the sill plate. But that might be my sense of over-engineering things!
