My shed studio build thread

[Partscaster]

Dont forget The Beer Fridge !

I might even think of a plastic urinal on the wall, with just a poly drain hose heading out into a covered sink hole in the woods.
Adds a touch of class.( just not High Class)

It is looking good, sir! Would you consider solar panels?

I envy your more than generous space! I used to have one whole basement room for my studio. We moved to a new (old) house, and my studio is now confined inside a pantry cabinet in the laundry/utilities room.



We have a good sized backyard and I wish I had your building skills to build my own shed. I look forward to seeing the finished product!

I have a friend that set up his studio in his big 35' rv. The rv was only $1000. I see trailers with bump outs for a few grand. Could make for a decent space. Maybe w a shade structure over it for summer? Not real soundproof but a cheap place to play.

And if it runs...

Siding done. I had to shrink the photo a ton so it looks funky.
Now I just need to mud, paint, and install the flooring

Upstairs flooring done.
Exodus of stuff to the upstairs to get out of the way to do downstairs is underway

Awesome project, great work!!

[Rollin Hand]

Nicer flooring than some of my house....

[mozz]

Also finally getting started on the siding. The woods back behind my shed is rough. I got tore up by chiggers and I picked off about 5 ticks in the 2 hours I worked on this.
I'm treating for bugs before continuing hopefully this weekend. Bathing in OFF too.

Chickens. They will keep the tick population down. Might stop laying eggs if they hear a few power chords though.

Actually getting chickens is on my agenda though this area isn't fenced in so they might not last long as we have foxes too.
I do plan on getting some for my fenced in back yard though

The fence and raised beds look beautiful., too.

Thanks
The fence was my summer project last year.
I've painted the outside of the beds white recently to try to get a couple more years out of them (I built them early 2020 and used non treated woods of course).
Back in early 2020 a 2x4 was 2.50ish, so they were only $25ea bed.
I made some benches out of 2x4s too. Also about $25ea back then. The chairs were pre-cut, I just assembled them.

Besides cleaning up and setting things up, I'm finally done.

Very nice, Tim!

But I think you´re short on guitars...

Haha. I´d be happy with just 10% of what you have - I´m kind of minimalist about guitars -, but I admit it´s nice to see all those guitars together!

Enjoy it! - your shed and your guitars! Very nice job building it -.

Haha, thank you. I had the shed built in November of 2019 so besides the frame and plywood, the rest has been a weekend project going on 4 years now. I took way too long.
As far as guitars, i've actually got my 10 acoustics upstairs too.
I have some overflow guitars on rack stands on both sides of the stairs too, about 10 or 15.
I plan to at least sell the stuff that doesn't have a space on the wall so I assume I'll sell about 20 eventually.
First I got to make pickups for the ones I'm keeping.

First rate man cave you have there. I had one on the farm that I put together myself, but since selling and buying our new home I have no man cave. The garage works okay but I am contemplating having a stand alone garage built but it is so hard to find someone to do it.

Not only that, but then you gotta deal with the permits.
I was lucky I got it prior to the 2021 hike in wood prices.
I wish I had done the foundation and frame/roof myself too but I knew that part needed to be done quick so I just hired a company to do it

[tonebender]

Permits and higher property taxes kick in due to the improvements. Don't get me started. LOL

Dude - I thought that was a pic of a small music store!

Looks awesome!

[Buddha Pickups]

Hard to believe it's taken me 4 years to complete this thing. Hope to post pics and will post some sounds once I dust off my amps and check the tubes and make sure they're biased correctly

I have a hard time trying to figure out what I am going to play, and I only have 6 in playable condition. Others need to be put back together. How many are there, and how do you decide? And you are married! How many pairs of shoes does your wife own?

[tlarson58]

How many pairs of shoes does your wife own?

So true.

Yes
She has no more than 50 I suppose.
I dont spend money on anything else and most of the money I made making pickups I reinvested in gear as I was free to do what I want with that money.
I have about 150 total.

[tonebender]

Finally done! Time to draw up plans for the addition.

We're doing a pool this summer so I won't be doing any big projects for a long time!
