What have you made lately?

I think you'd have to alter the rafters so you don't need trusses.

Exactly. Get rid of the angle rafters and add a beam. Hard part is the spiral stairs. We’d lose a linen closet but pick up 250sqft.

Sister used it as a bedroom for niece and nephew when they had a 3rd.

I made a fart.

That's all I'm good for today.

I knew that was you, and man did it stink!

Nice looking spoon. I'd be afraid to do any kind of carving or cutting with a knife right now (not that I do any at all). I'd be afraid I'd cut myself and wind up in the emergency room... Exactly the place you don't want to be right now.

Indeed.

I’ve built a bunch of stuff lately. This was a useful one out of scrap. It’s a scary sharp chisel and plane sharpening station. Goes from 300-14000 grit 3M lapping film on the 6 faces of the pieces of float glass.

Made a couple spice racks for a friend. One for standard size bottles (not really a standard but 2” depth if you wanted to make one). The bigger one was designed for Costco large shakers (3-7/8” depth).

For the same friend who was re-painting kitchen cabinets, made a couple C-shelves for even more spices. This photo only shows one installed but it works great and frees up a lot of space in cabinet.

made a sawmill

Finished up a bandsaw mill I started about 3 years ago. still getting it dialed in but it works well and makes lumber. it was a fun project, since I had no idea on how to make a sawmill I bought plans off of ebay that worked out well.
The green drill is used to raise and lower the saw. the black box is for the powerfeed which is the part of the mill that needs the most work still to operate right. The part with the jack is to level out taper in the board.
thanks

...in my messy garage

sir, you have enough floor space for 5 more machines and an 8' bench. You need to learn to stack upward...

Nice rolling drill press stand.

This confuses me. Not the post, but the borrowed avatar.

I tried to make a wine bottle holder. The first try used a based but the second try turned out to be good.

Love it!

Good call on keeping it as storage space. I'd be cautious having someone live up there, if there is no window. If there is a fire then there is no escape, there are reasons the building code requires windows for emergency egress and escape. We just went through this when we converted our high vaulted ceiling into an office/playroom for the kids and went through the permitting process to make it a safe livable space. The though of having my kids sleeping in there and being trapped in there terrifies me.

The other thing is ceiling joists are usually spaced further apart and use smaller wood than a floor joist since they are not load bearing floors.

Seriously.

I finally got around to routing a stand for my water filter.

Yeah, me too. I noticed after I posted.
