This will become Rusty Blades very own Woodshop!
Spring’s around the corner, and so is the push to get the studio and woodshop moving again. The three usual enemies are still on the field: time, money, and weather—and they don’t fight fair.
Plan is simple: enclose the studio first, then get the woodshop under a roof right after. All the “random stuff laying around” is just future structure waiting to happen.
Most of this build is coming from salvaged material that was headed for the trash, so yeah—some of the metal won’t match. That’s the point. It’s going to be a little rugged, a little weird, and 100% functional. Whatever doesn’t make the cut will get repurposed, passed along to someone who can use it, or—if it’s truly hopeless—finally retired for good.
When this eclectic masterpiece is finally completed, be ready for some awesome wood goods!
What this shop will be used for
Building Rusty Blades wood projects (cedar décor, custom pieces, repairs)
Storage + organization for tools and materials
A dedicated place to work year-round (without dodging weather)
Next steps
Finish enclosing the studio
Get the woodshop framed and under roof
Start moving materials out of “random pile mode” and into actual stations
If nothing changed, I won’t fake an update. When it moves, you’ll see it.
This may look like a mess, because it is!
The dirt humps in the foreground, are topsoil from another project many years ago.
The plastic sided shed in the background is full of project lumber awaiting the completion of this woodshop.
Days 1,2, and 3. Mid 80's and nice!
It seems to be coming along nicely.
Once the back is enclosed, the small shed will be torn down to become the woodshop!
Day 4 thru 7. BIG improvement!
It's much taller than I thought it would be.
That little shed is full of doors, windows and flooring for the new buildings!
Day 8 and 9 Siding is started and the roof is ON!
When building with used metal, one can't be too picky. It will look much better after the top is on.
With the roof so high up, you can only tell it's on from the underside. And yes, I had to hire it done, I'm not a climber.
Day 12 and progress has stopped
It's enclosed. The open spot is for the shipping area.
Waiting for warmer weather!
