🔨Using store-bought lumber and dealing with twisting
🔥The importance of removing bark from the wood to prevent bugs
🪚Cutting braces and incorporating them into the workshop framework
🌧️Working through rainy weather to make progress on the construction
👷The collaborative effort and camaraderie in completing the project
Why did you choose to use store-bought lumber instead of milling your own?
—Using store-bought lumber was a practical choice to save time and effort, as milling our own lumber would have required a larger planer and more equipment.
How did you deal with the twisting in the lumber?
—We decided to proceed with flat joints to accommodate the twists in the store-bought lumber, ensuring a more manageable construction process.
Why did you remove the bark from the wood?
—Removing bark is crucial to prevent bugs from creating nests in the wood. By burning and oiling the wood, we can minimize the chances of insect infestation.
What was the purpose of the braces in the workshop construction?
—The braces were added to provide additional support and stability to the structure, especially for the workshop's walls and roof.
How did you manage to work during the rainy weather?
—Despite the challenges posed by rainy weather, we continued to work on the project whenever possible, taking advantage of any breaks in the rain to make progress.
