New barn delivered for lathe shop
Jun 21^st, 2016 at 6:44pm

Tried posting a picture but even sized at 30% it is apparently too large. I ordered a shed/barn that is 10 x 16 feet including a 4 foot porch, so 10 x 12 inside to house my lathe. I upgraded the floor with 3/4" plywood on 2 x 6" joists on 12" center instead of the 5/8" floor on 2 x 4 joists on 16" centers. I am trying to decide if I should put an extra 3/4" plywood layer on to add more support, but it seems pretty good already. If any of you have done this, what did you do?
