Default Machine Shed update

DH is going to finish getting the trusses up, tie them in and stop until we get back from vacation.



This is the west wall - about 10' high at the upper flat ceiling. I would love to put up shelves and make this a "wall" of dashboard machines. All those poor ones that get listed for $25 and a month later they are still looking for a home. Though this is a big wall . . . maybe I should use the center for hanging a quilt or something . . .



And this is one of my favorite tools. First time I saw one in use, we had just got done installing a load of joist hangers for the barn (in WI) and we were watching some home improvement show, and they used one of these. I've never lusted after a tool like that- and we bought one right away!



Talk about a finger saving tool!

Those are awesome. There have been a few times that i have taken one out and used it for armoring... LOUD, but fun.

Looking good! You guys are probably relieved there's only one old wall to deal with instead of everything being out of square or plumb.

It is a "Palm Nailer". It is a pneumatic (air) powered hammer.
I did not want to post what it was right away in case others wanted to have a go at it.

Hmmmm, palm nailer. Another tool to add to my Christmas wish list when my kids ask me what I want for Christmas, LOL. Good progress Cathy. Your palm nailer appears to be pneumatic, do you have a portable compressor, what size? Ours is a really big one that lives in the garage.

I bought it for my airbrush 15 years ago. Never painted but found its great to haul around. Keeps up ok on slower jobs. DH did use it to roof a garage. Didn't have 220 set up at the time.
