Reply to "Continuing Saga …"

Thank you all. I posted something on Monday, but forgot to hit send, so it didn't. I'll include it now. Hope all had a nice, safe, healthy and socially distant Memorial Day.

I finished the shed big wall, again sprinkling in some damage and new boards for interest.

THC Shed Walls

Yesterday I glued up the shed front frame. This was a very simple unit that followed the same routine as the other parts. You need a good surface to hold T-pins and lots of T-pins to do this kind of work.

I then cleaned up the mating edges and glued up the three sides. I used the special corned clamps, angle plates and clamps to hold it together. Unfortunately, the left rear corner side piece is a trifle higher than the back. With these corner clamps it's sometimes hard to see the uppermost corner to ensure it's fully aligned. It's not a show stopper. Just annoying.

After this set up I moved the angle plates and glued in the front frame.

So here's the shed complete ready for me to produce the trusses and roofing.

I cut all the truss parts. There are four trusses. The two on the end get some vertical sheathing.

I also was printing another 4th section of the stair case. It was printing fine and then abended prematurely with a USB read error. I removed the partially formed objects and used the other Thumb Drive with the same file. As of late yesterday it was printing well. It was a 12-hour print and finished around midnight, so I won't know how good it is until I go down to the shop and check it out. This was one of the long staircases and I was afraid about the extended supports on the railing portion. But so far so good. I'll keep you posted.
