Workshop 014 First Glimpse at Gussets

I finally got to hang one of the brackets I had envisioned and drew on paper so many days earlier. Turned out exactly to the scale I had drawn. And looks like they'll be an ideal use of space. Gotta love when a plan comes together!

Regarding all the little uneven gaps and even things like the how you want to place the uprights in the corner, my brother always has to keep me on track on projects with a fantastic saying: "Don't let perfection get in the way of progress." I don't know who said it first but it's something to think about. Also, the gussets, to me, are screaming out for some of your carving. Something like an old wooden sailing ship's figurehead. Just an idea. I'm really enjoying this series.

[@Jake-ky9ed]

The gusset itself is interesting? Show how you did that in the next one please. Cool to watch you bring that shop together cheers man

[@hossdude65]

I feel like you should drill some recess holes for the screws under the work bench to penetrate the plywood more and bring that gap in a little more

[@toxicchaos8239]

Great series Marty! Any chance you can give us a tour of the property when this is all done? Super interested in alternative ways of living other than buying an over priced home.

BIG channel locks, are always on your side. Not just used for loosening or tightening.

[@edwardrossiter9612]

Love this series!

[@rudyfisher7660]

Use a pop wrench to bend that tube before over where you want it

[@artat777]

That was awesome 😎

[@keithwolf2317]

Awesome

[@papajonn87]

For a guy that makes mods to curved kayaks and boat. Your craftsmanship is super straight and square.

[@Capgains7777]

I feel for you trying to make things work on camera that end up wonky and edited out eventually. Sometimes entire videos. Fast setting glue is my nemesis.

[@moretoliving2236]

I have yet to see a single piece of lumber from the big box stores that is straight, does not have a bow so when you factor that weirdness with the fact that box truck is not square... I would not fret gaps. You can just cover them with trim pieces that look like T for gaps and other trim pieces elsewhere. Sometimes when you hide the blemishes...you quit worrying about what it looks like.

[@mazdarx7887]

How much snow load do you expect around there

[@bluegills]

5:50 What is hiding behind the blue tarp?

[@johnb8369]

Do you own that property or are you staying on a friend's land?

[@ReelNewwt]

Did you ever say why you were doing all this? Starting a mobile business?

[@Renttu1974]

Flatfood Mack🤔

[@r8edrv4fun65]

I think the gaps and unevenness bother you because you are particular about your artwork.
