Great start for the old school guy.

[Rick]

As long as the old school method works keep using it.
Nice color on the boards.

Howdy Larry, the repair shop is looking good. The framing and skin look terrific.  Have fun, mike

Nice work Larry.  If that works in cutting boards go for it.
Nice coloring also.

Moving along:



So now both ends are framed and sided; although I'm toying with the notion of taking 1x4's and doing a "board and batten" on the outside walls just for a little more interest. The two ends would require the most work.



This is the front wall. I had mentioned previously I wanted the repair shop to be more of an "open air" type of structure hence the large front opening. The wall was constructed the same way as the end walls so no need to rehash that again.



Here's the inside of the front wall; probably the only time you'll ever see it. I did go with a double header across the top of the wall to make it strong enough to do away with a post in the middle. The back wall will be done about the same way.

The next step is to construct the back wall but the opening won't be as wide as the front is, that way I'll have some room for details and yes the inside will be fully detailed.That's it for now and as always thanks for stopping by for a look-see.

Nice work.

[Rick]

Larry, I agree with all the things said by others before me.

Jerry, Philip, and Rick thank you guys for the nice compliments.

Coloring is great!
Turning the headers 90 degrees would be stronger or even using 2x6's.
Not a criticism just info.
