A Studio and a Canvas

Unfortunately (or fortunately if you ask my wife) my studio will be located on one side of my two-car garage. This image shows my limited space. Nothing makes a project more pleasurable than additional challenges ... especially for a novice (that is being generous) wood worker and boat builder.

I wanted to get started as soon as possible so I decided to start working on my canvas. In order to save money and generate space, I decided to use the lumber from my garage shelves.

Again, who does not like challenges ... my garage floor is sloped. This made things a little more interesting.

Because of their length, I had to use the 2x3 pieces for the 'stringers' of the 'ladder'. They were slightly curved thus forcing me to place the 2x4 'rungs' between the 'stringers' instead of on top. This provided the ability to adjust their height and how they are leveled. There are additional supports that attach to the 'rungs' that will be added at a later date. These additional supports will  provide the proper curvature for the bottom panel of Summa.

And this was just the canvas...
