Looks nice, when you gonna fix the leg?

I removed the damaged metal leg and the good metal leg and build a stand with glued and screwed 3/4 poplar stained dark attached to a baltic birch base. I made the legs stick out from the front a couple inches to give it more area to prevent a front tipping incident although I think it would be unlikely. It also give me a little room to play I I decide to trim it out and make it finished. I glued pieces of the same cork floor to the bottom to make it easier to move. I can take a few additional pictures of the base.

Looks like door has pins only on one side, did you leave space for those pins?


The door has pins all around and when I attach my inside door trim to it, I will have to leave room for the pins to extend. I was playing around with some prototypes of the trim before and had forgot about it which would have sucked if I would have already glued them in.

Nice shop by the way.

Thanks. Everything is shoehorned into my small garage. I need an extra 10' wide of space.

If that door has locking pins on all 4 sides, I sure don't see them. It is obvious you have some experience with those tools though. Really good craftsmanship.

Garages in Florida suck arse! You can have a 4k square foot house and it will have a freaking 2 car garage that takes a major effort to get an SUV and a car into.
