Construction
Powder Coating oven
This is my powder coating oven that i use for my cars, dirt bikes, and ATVs. It gets up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and is on a PID temperature controller shutting the heater on and off as it reaches the desired temperature. It is made out of fully sheet metal and galvanized metal studs with high temp insulation in between, which are held together by rivets. It is also sitting on a wooden frame with wheels to be mobile.
Milo’s Cage
This is my family’s Sulcata tortoise Milo. He used to be in a small enclosure inside but as he is already the size of a football we needed to move him outside. His burrow is made out of cinderblocks and an enclosed insulated box underneath with a heating pad. As for the rest it’s just wood, soil, and plants.
ATV shed with lounge
This was my biggest and best wood project yet. During the second semester of my freshman year, I started to design a massive shed to put in the woods of my backyard. Its purpose was to protect the dirt bikes and ATVs from rain and any critter planning and overstaying their visit. It is 16x8x20ft, which seems a little tall for 4 vehicles but the extra 10 feet in height was dedicated to a lounge. I installed vinyl flooring on the second floor with a ladder going up with a trap door above. There is also two duct fans on the second floor circulating the air as well as a window. The outside has a camo tarp and hunting camouflage leaves to make it almost invisible as my parents didn’t want it to be noticeable because it is massive and stands out. This was a tedious fun process and took me about two and a half weeks to finish by myself.
Storage shed
Here is the first structure I built out of wood which is just a shed for storage.
