    It’s a rainy, windy nasty weekend. Searched around and I may have missed something. The last one I found was from 2017. How about an updated thread on wood sheds outside and wood boxes inside.

    The shed. Inside dimensions, 30’ x 11’ x H. Halved in the middle for rotation. Built with the boy, it was a fun project. Scrounged everything but the concrete for the bracing. When the kids were home we could get 11(ish) cords per half stacked roughly 8 1/2’ high. Now, with just Max the Super pup and me here, toss and go, no idea how much, just throw it in till not another stick will fit. Each half is easily more than enough for a tough winter.

    Wood box inside. A re-purposed stock tank. 2 x 4 x 12". Welded up some legs for stability then also bolted on, because the side are so thin. Safety wired to the wall too, just in case. Enough for a full weekend or a week of evenings after work.

    More rainy weekends coming up. Anyone have any fun or cool ideas for inside wood box ideas? Time to plan for spring/summer projects, any cool wood shed build ideas?

    Awesome wood box.
    That room has some great character with the saws hanging right down to the Jiffy-Pop.
    I'm liking that!

    Hooks are easy. 20/0 shark hooks, we use them for landing halibut.

    Wives are noth’in but trouble, just ask me. Lucky for me, she left me. In all seriousness, if you’ve got a good one, you best hang on with both hands. She’s worth more than any TWO saws.

    Just put this together today using scrap/leftover materials.
    Only new investment was $25 for the tarp.

    Will work for now. Eventually add steel roof and siding.
    Need to make another for stacking
