Thanks Julie.
Tonight I built another raised, vertical wood rack opposite the earlier one I made. Using materials on hand I actually framed that other one with a steel mattress frame and skinned it accordingly with wood. Worked great and got the wood off the concrete, protecting it from moisture and isolating it from any termite problems by keeping it off the wall. Didn’t have another mattress frame for this one so it’s made from 3/4” plywood with plastic marine wood feet and secured to the wall with steel L brackets. Again, no wood touching floor or the concrete riser under the drywall. Hard to believe but I managed to get 95% of that wood I took in trade in there. It’s a lot of board feet and it’s all nice hardwoods.

Didn’t buy a new slider saw (yet) but did pick up a few other goodies in addition to the Hammer A3-31 and Nova Voyager.

Lastly, I’m just so happy with how things are coming together with the space and my new tools. Still have power lines to run to my drill and bandsaw, and some items to get out to bulk trash pickup and/or storage but I’m darn close to having it basically finished and ready to go back to work. Once back in use I’ll have some projects to build that include a hand tool cabinet and other shop storage items but those will take time to get to. Lots of other projects waiting in the wings too.
This process has been painful but is paying off and I can see light at the end of the tunnel finally.
