Another shop build thread

[Steve Rozmiarek]

Looks great, well done! The exposed cross ties and cathedral ceiling above sure add to the space. Ages ago I had a shop with a ceiling like that and really liked it.

That's very nice of you. I wasn't sure whether to close in the ceiling or not, but decided in the end that this was the best way. I have to make use of all the storage space I can get, and it seemed easier to access the attic area from below than by crawling in, since it's only 4 feet high or less. The joists aren't strong enough to put heavy stuff up there, but it's fine for shipping boxes and peanuts, empty banjo cases, and other bulky but fairly light stuff.
