Larry,

Very well done. I'm sure Hank is very proud of the large new shop.

I really like the shelf with the cans and such. I always struggle with what colors to choose.
Great tutorial.

Mj thank you so much. As far as colors I try and mix them up and not have 2 of the same cooker next to each other. Glad you liked the tutorial.

Howdy Larry,

Nice work on the details.  They look great.  I hope they will be viewable in the shop.

Have fun,

Thank you Mike. They should be viewable with what I have planned for the Shop build.

Here we go.....more details:

Moving along this one was a quickie, compared with the previous ones. Just a simple closed cabinet colored with chalks, clear alcohol, then given a liberal coat of A&I to bring out the grain in the wood.The hinges and knob were painted with gun metal. The pair of boots on top of the cabinet are from SW that I had in the parts bin; I think they belong to Jerry.

This is another shelving unit that will go on the righthand side of the Shop and was colored the same way as the previous one.This one was about a 2.5 hour project when all said and done.

Here's the side with all the nice molded-in details; this side will face the front of the Shop so it can be easily seen. Next will be more of the same.....details. Also I should have the lathe from Sierra West tomorrow (Monday) so that will get added to the to-do list; and no NOT the honey-do list. Thanks for checking in for a peek and for all your great comments and/or your suggestions as well.

Larry,

"This one was about a 2.5 hour project when all said and done". Huh?
I think I waste more time than that just looking for my details, and
when I finally find them, then my 2.5 hour time begins... Oh well!
Nice painting and colors used on yours.
