    Dom,

    That is absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of you self restraint as much as your skill. I would really struggle letting the car sleep in such a magnificent structure. I would be too tempted to use it as a workshop or living space!

    Too kind Lance, thank you. I'm sure I'll be able to slowly weasel the car out of there as it gets a bit older haha. It would be nice to have the extra space in addition to the main garage... maybe put a nice wood-lathe in there... some space for large glue-ups/assemblies, maybe a second workbench... and it would get the morning sun when I open the full width twin folding doors I plan to build on the back side... yes, I think I will slowly work on that plan indeed haha. Thanks mate.

    WOW is about the only word I can think of. Gold star woodworking.
    As Lance said it's way too good for a car space. Just looking up at those lovely beams would inspire any woodworker to create great things.

    Superb. Hat off to your dedication, finding the time and energy to keep plugging away at such a large project is something else.

    Thanks mate. Hopefully the plugging away will end soon. The worst part is that knowing that this project is sitting unfinished means I mentally haven't been able to start any of the multitude of smaller furniture style projects I want to make. Need to shake this monkey off first! Just hadn't banked on how long it would take - i'm sure i could make another in a third of the time, but everything has been a first-time for me so slow going / lots of head scratching.

    Cheers, Dom

    May have involved head scratching, checking, double checking and measuring 10 times before cutting but the wealth of experience and expertise you have gained is something money can't buy or be given in a book

    Consider looking into a Festool Domino 700 machine. Some good videos on YouTube or contact for an on-site demonstration. I have the 500 and the 700 amazing machines

    Very true and well said, I have definitely learnt a lot of valuable lessons along the way.

    Hi Trevor,

    I have a Domino 500 and used it to join together the stud t-pieces, but otherwise I didn't, and don't, see any other areas of the build where a Domino would have been of any help to be honest. The large Domino could possibly be useful for making the doors, but I much prefer traditional solid mortise and tenon joinery to loose tenon joinery for that kind of thing - stronger and when draw-bored doesn't rely on glue to hold a joint together. For the rest of the frame, the tenons from a Domino 700 would be far far too small.

    Cheers,

    Dom
