shed_2.0
31 Jan
The problem: a 5′x20′ shed with a 3′ man door on the long side; tough to get in and out of with a car parked under the car port; impossible to get anything in and out with a car parked under the car port. An extremely poor design.
The solution: blow a hole in the side and cover it up with a sliding barn door. This allows for easier access with an adjacent car, eliminates door dings, and creates the opportunity to set up a work space in the shed.

A huge thanks goes out to kwah-li friends Bryan Jacob and John Barton for help on the project. Here is a final night shot after finally adding the 1×2′s to the door.

buckle prototype A
21 Novso the first prototype fit really well. i’m curious about your opinions of the buckle. as far as the functional aspect it worked, tho the slot was not totally aligned with the tongue, so I’ll fix that. The action was nice, you get a good snap when it closes. the buckle itself held up 100lbs of steel and that was with the tongue being misaligned. so it’s going to get better.
whats your opinions on the finish?
do you like the edges?
this is 100% american made, which you can’t really acquire these days, which increases the value.
i can get any design laser cut into the buckle itself, any ideas?
also, i’m working with a glass blower for possible pendants inset in the steel. and i’ve been experimenting with sandblasting the glass for a phyical relief.
soon will be a belt buckle coming with the sandblasted glass inset in the steel, or brass, or stainless.

first time i’ve picked up my watercolors in years. truth be told, i ran it through the photoshop stock color auto-correct. not too bad, although technically not true to pure. in any event, i thought i’d share.
