By late October we were finishing off the siding interior and exterior. we opted for the corrugated steel in and out as neither one of us wanted to do drywall more than we needed to.





Finished entrance from the inside, vertical cedar to match other areas of shop.




And here is a front shop, areas to the left of here is the other half of the front,this will be completed by the end of April with a new steel roll up door giving parking and storage access to one more car.

Taking a break from shop renovations and been doing some car work (what a concept).
Recent tasks include a lot of media blasting so it was time to do some maintance on the blast cabinet. Have had this one since 1997.



New Led light strips.



And new gloves and window shield.

I like your LED light strips. How do you think they're going to hold up? I'm going to "restore" my blast cabinet and lighting is one of the things I'd like to upgrade.

Chuck, we installed three of these doors, they are all 36x80 hung inside their own frame. The frame can be dismantled for install in an existing opening. The door frame can expand up to 10 inches.
It opens outward for security but primarily fire and building code. I think the brand is Accurate Door, which is a local manufacture. Its not carried by the big box stores. Ours were acquired locally though an outfit, Jacks Building Supplies. Additional hardware we installed were automatic closer and double Medeco locks.

Good luck with your plans.

Paul

One option from the LED store was plastic covers to protect the strips. I am just going to use clear packaging tape that can be replaced when its gets clouded up. We have used Led strips before but they got damaged by a guest user.

Thanks. I'll have to see if I can get crafty. Even my glass viewing window gets hammered after a while.
