Shit you built with your own two hands (picture thread)

The kids like this so far. It was a birthday present for the 4 year old. 400-500 for materials. It could be completed in a weekend if you are motivated.

I'll probably fuck this up in the territory of about 300-400 bucks in materials, 18-26 beers and 4 hours so that flight doesnt sound like a bad idea.

Here is the best link for shed building, it's a long thread but there are plenty of pictures showing the framing.

That's cool and all, but 4-5 hundred seems kind of steep.

Thanks for that; one of the most hilarious threads ever.

That's the thing.

I have a climbing wall about that size on a play structure at home. I was given all the holds and bolts. Easily $200-250 worth of stuff. That net isn't cheap either.

I have a friend in Hazelton who built a climbing wall in his living room. He built his grips himself out of MDF with a jigsaw and a router table. For thicker grips he glued a few layers together. He painted them up and they worked really well. He bought a bunch of MDF backing, drilled it full of holes and installed T Nuts to the back of it. He hung the MDF on the walls/ceiling and attached the grips. He had 2 walls and a 45* overhang, probaby about 20' x 20' of wall and 10'x20' of overhang. He had colour coded routes from easy to fucking hard.

Friend of mine built a crack machine in his SF apt--adjustable width, flare, overhang. (FFA Lotus Flower Tower in 50 Classics)

This is pretty much exactly how I picture commonlaw's shed going.

I forgot about that thread.

More like this.

I'm suppose to install the rafters with a Tig welder, right?

I built this 22 ft outrigger canoe in Kona a couple years ago. All carbon shell and paddle with thermo core bulkheads.

**Buster Highmen** · 08-26-2017, 08:03 AM

A shed is in the queue at rancho highmen with loads of pro crastination ongoing.

Part of my problem is the location is riddled with mountain beaver holes. so I need to spend some time setting up a foundation so that there won't be any sagging.

**carpathian** · 08-28-2017, 11:23 PM

Slapped this little 14' drift boat together this spring. 3/8 ply shell with glass and carbon. 80 man hours over a month cost about $1100

Just got through that. Three years later and the shed of doom still stood. Anyone know its current condition.

And I am mitigating the shed of doom v2.0 by purchasing a shed kit. I still have to build the foundation, put it together and roof it, so I imagine I'll still have some good fodder.

Nice boats, dude!

**carpathian** · 08-29-2017, 07:03 PM

What better way to keep up with the Jones then have 3 sheds!

On the left is a 12x16 shed turned rental turned grow op turned rental again. Center is timber framed sauna turned grow op turned shed and on right is shed with rock holds attached. I have too much junk, need to purge ...

**Art Shirk** · 08-29-2017, 09:23 PM

I'll take one of those sheds.

**wyeaster** · 08-30-2017, 10:08 AM

**mmmm...pow!** · 08-30-2017, 07:53 PM

How much is that dog charging you?

Carpathian you should check out the article

**carpathian** · 09-01-2017, 12:09 AM

lol I still have another 15-20 yrs before I can fuck off quite like that!

Built this nice little bench overlooking the channel between Lahaina and Lanai. It would be cool to paddle across some day.

It sits on top of 2 mile trail I hand dug so i could do this

**oftpiste** · 09-01-2017, 09:15 AM

I mayd sum chairz.

And yes, I know my windowsill needs painting.

**Art Shirk** · 09-01-2017, 09:36 AM

Cool design, P- modern adirondack. Are the backs attached to the house or kinda floating?

ledger on the wall is my guess

quick & slick... i like

Soften those miters and put endgrain sealer and the splinter potential goes to zero. sanding sealer will work too. simple candle/parifan wax if yer willin to wait the cure time of a few days gives nice results.

putting them away for winter?
